before which she may obtain an im
partial hearing. We pledge that,
■when American representatives to the
League of Nations are appointed,
they shall be instructed to bring the
affairs of Ireland before that great
tribunal for adjudication.
Labor
“The question of industrial peace
is our greatest domestic problem. It
, is the greatest problem of the world.
“Labor constitutes the largest ele
ment of our population. On its wel
fare depends the prosperity of all.
High wages and good living condi
tions constitute the bulwark of civil
ization. W’e recognize the solution
of these questions is dependent more
upon economic principles than upon
sympathetic legislation.
‘Statutes are necesarilv limited in
their efficacy. The elimination or
regulation of child labor, the protec
tion of sailors on the high seas, the
encouragement of industrial insur
ance in all interstate employment
and the suppression or regulation of
monopolies that control the cost of
living are, however, subjects that call
for direct federal action.
“The organization of labor should
be encouraged. The development of
these organizations, under responsi
ble leadership, is a great insurance
of industrial peace. They add to the
dignity, independence and efficacy of
labor. They protect labor against ex
ploitation; they develop a wholesome
system of collective bargaining.
‘We believe the government should
create a federal tribunal for the pur
poses of arbitration, which tribunal
should have the right to conduct in
vestigations of industrial disputes
andj publish findings and reports.
While its judgment unless under vol
untary submission, should in no
sense be compulsory or interfere with
liberty of action, we believe that it
would be a great moral force in pre
venting and settling industrial con
flicts. *
Debt To Soldiers and Sailors
“Our people owe to the soldiers
and sailors of the republic who went
forth to preserve the rights of this
nation ahd liberties ot mankind every
consideration.
“Those who suffered from wounds
or sickness should have, behind them
every dollar of American property
as should those who should hereafter
become sick and unable to support
themselves fully or partially.
“We believe that the vast majority
of those who returned uninjured do
not feel that the services they ren
dered to mankind can be compensat
ed by cash bonus —that the honor and
glory that forever attaches to their
achievements stand superior to pay.
We believe, however, that it is the
duty of this nation from its resources
of land to offer abundant opportuni
ty to our soldiers and sailors. We
believe that the Civil Service Law
should be amended so that offices
of public employment that shall be
come vacant should, by a separate
examination, be first offered to the
soldiers and sailors of the war.
Teacher Compensation
“The strength of this Nation, its
future, its hope, rest on the teaching
of youth. This sacred trust has been

Financial Plank
The financial plank of the plat
form will be formulated by Carter
Glass and is expected to comprise an
indorsement of the measures taken
by the Federal Reserve Board. It is
possible that a fight will be made to
get in some of the views of Senator*
Owen of Oklahoma, who disapproves
of the act of the board in raising the
discount ratesj on the ground that it
penalizes legitimate industry as well
as the stock speculation it was de
signed to scotch, and moreover is to
the advantage of professional bear
speculators and to the disadvantage
of the public in whatever stock in
vestments it engages in.
The League Indorsed
This much of the Virginia plat
form seems likely of adoption:
“We not only congratulate the
president on the vision manifested
and the vigor exhibited in the prose
cution of the war but we felicitate
him and his associates on the excep
tional achievements at Paris involv
ed in the adoption of a League and
treaty so near akin to American
ideals and so intimately related to
the aspirations of civilized peoples
everywhere.
“We commend the president for
his courage and his high conception
of good faith in steadfastly standing
for the covenant agreed to by all the
Associated and Allied nations at war
with Germany, and we condemn the
Republican senate for its refusal to
ratify the treaty merely because it
was the product of Democratic states
manship, thus interposing partisan
envy and personal hatred in the way
of the peace and renewed prosperity
of the world.
“By every accepted standard of in
ternational morality the president is
justified in asserting that the honor
of the country is involved in this busi
ness and we point to the accusing
fact that before it was determined to
initiate political antagonism to the
treaty the now Republican Chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee himself proclaimed publicly
that any proposition for a separate
peace with Germany, such as he and
his party associates recently reported
to the senate, would make us guilty
of the blackest crime.
“We endorse the action of Demo
cratic senators in sustaining the
president’s views of our international
obligations, for voting against res e/
vations designed to cut to pieces the
vital provisions of the Versailles
Treatv and against resolutions for
separate peace which would disgrace
the nation. We advocate prompt rat
ification of the treaty without reser
vations which would impair its es
sential integrity.
“Only by doing this may we re
trieve the reputation of this Nation
among the powers of the earth and
recover the world leadership which
Wilson won and which with amazing
indifference paltering republican pol
iticians at Washington sacrificed.
“Only by doing this may we hope
to aid effectively in the restoration
of order throughout the world and to
take that place which we would as
-um<' in the front rank of spiritual,
commercial and industrial advance-
The general denunciation of tne
republican party for its failure .to
enact the reconstructive legislation
urged by the president and its holding
up of appointments, all of which has
tended to the condition of industrial
and commercial uncertainty and so
ha s delayed a return to normal condi
tions, has not yet been framed.

met actually increased them in large
percentage.
“With the adoption of the new con
stitution in Ohio, which was advocat
ed by Governor Cox, and his election
coincident therewith, there was chos
en a legislature dominated by his own
party. In his second term of office
he was again given a Democratic leg
, islature, so that the progressive laws
I of the first administration were re-
I fined as needs were shown, by the
j second. In his third term, being the
only Democrat elected on the statr
I icket, he found himself surrounded
i by a reactionary Republican legisla
; ture which sought to destroy much
of the progressive legislation hither
jto enacted; but by his veto and influ
-1 ence among the more progressive
members, he was able to save to the
state that which had been given.
“All classes of citizenship have con-'
■ fidence in Governor Cox because he
■ accepts safe counsel, and is a care
! ful judge.
“No governor in the United States
ever put through a saner, more com-
I prehensive or more valuable legisla
I five program of business, labor, edu-
I cation, agriculture, good roads and
social service than James Cox.”
