A Rotation of Good Intentions

If you wish to vote for a or the league of nations there are two ways of doing so. You may vote for Mr. Harding, whose opposition to the league is political and temporary, or you may vote for Cox, whose enthusiasm for the league is temporary and political. After the smoke and gas of political battle have lifted, the United States will become part of a league of nations. It will not be "Mr. Wilson's league," nor Mr. Harding's league, nor any other private league.

That little matter settled in your mind, you may consider this: In a democracy in which elections are frequent and fixed (meaning regular), it is nearly always safe to vote for the party out of power. For the best that we can hope for is a rotation of good intentions. The Chicago Tribune.
