President Woodrow Wilson attempted to gain public support for the League of Nations primarily by embarking on a railway speaking tour across the United States. This tour, which took place in the fall of 1919, was intended to rally public opinion in favor of the League and the Treaty of Versailles, which included the League as a key component. Wilson believed that generating public support would put pressure on the Senate to ratify the treaty.
While he did announce his Fourteen Points, which included the idea of a League of Nations, his direct efforts to garner public support were most famously characterized by his extensive speech-making tour. The other options, like assuring Americans about U.S. control over the League or urging senators to reject compromises on the treaty, were not as effective in building widespread public support compared to his campaign on the road.
