Nation Foggy On Plans For World League Last Words From Teddy's Pen
Public discourse on the League of Nations runs through quotes from Teddy and critics. The piece argues for a cautious, principled approach, urging that any league serve peace without entangling the United States in overseas conflicts or eroding the Monroe Doctrine. It favors extending Allied gains first, then selective membership, while preserving defense via universal military training and avoiding meddlesome foreign entanglements.

Stage All Set For Dry Law Vote in House
SPRINGFIELD ILL Jan 14 On the eve of a vote today on the federal prohibition amendment in the Illinois house of representatives both wets and drys claim victory. The senate passed the resolution last week. A wet delegation from Chicago arrived and moved to marshal forces for a floor fight. Leaders declined to reveal tactics but hinted ratification would be opposed at every step. Ernest Kunde forecast the pre amendment element would not exceed 75 votes, two short of the needed total. Lee Browne said the fight would be close and likely not go three votes over whichever way it goes. Dry workers from across the state gathered for the house session and the Illinois Anti Saloon League board meeting. The house convenes at 10 am with seating drawn and consideration unlikely before noon. Frederick A Brewer, Tampico Republican and a dry, was confined to his hotel room with fever but expected to attend.
