FREE IRELAND FIRST.
Until Then Treaty With Britain
will Be Opposed.
PLEDGE GIVEN BY soLoNs
Speakers at Emmet Meeting Of
United Irish Societies Sanguine
of Home Rule.

That the pending treaty for general
arbitration between Great Britain and
the United States will never be ratified
until Ireland is free, il an American Of
Irish extraction who is a member OF
the foreign relations committee of the
House of Representatives can prevail.
was made apparent by the speech of Rep
resentative n. r. Kendall Of Iowa, de-
livered at the demonstration in honor
of Robert Emmett last night in the New
National Theater. The anniversary or
the 18th. birthday Of the Irish patriot
was being celebrated under the auspices
of the United Irish Societies Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Confidence was expressed by Repre-
sentative Kendall that during his life
time an Irish ambassador will present
his credentials at the White House and
be received with the dignity and consid-
GRAFTON due the representative of great
and friendly nation. The audience ap-
plauded for fully five minutes in demon
strating its appreciation of this posi-
bility.
Also Express Opposition.
''How can any self-respecting nation
touch hands and make common cause for
universal peace with England until she
gives ireland Justice?" said Representa-
tive Kendall. LET no one be alarmed.
We will never enter into any entangling
alliances with Great Britain.
II am a member Of the foreign re-
lations committee OF the House and /
am trying to use diplomatic language,
but am afraid l am not succeeding very
WE'LL"
Representatives Richard f. Council of
New York and James NJ. Curley of Mas
saachusetts also joined in expressing OPP
position to ratification of an arbitration
treaty with Great Britain. Denunciation
of the tyranny and deceit practiced by
England toward Ireland marked the ad-
dresses.
England has piled her trade of piracy
and robbery on the sea until now she Is
confronted by another power which cries
halt, and the blatant coward is now cry
ing out for universal peace" said Repre-
sentative Cornell. Now she comes whin-
ing and pleading for an alliance with the
United States, which would drag us
down."
when England has concluded arbitra-
ton treaties with the other leading ma
tons of the world said Representative
Curley, many Of whom she has de-
and comes to America with clean
hands. then and not till then. will be the
time for our country to consider arbitra-
ton with Great Britain"

"STOP THIEF" POLITICS.



The entry of Manager Dixon of the
Roosevelt campaign into Vermont cry
ing stop. thief" at every breath is
likely to cause a commotion of DIFF
fercnt sort than Mr.. Dixon intends. for
he brings a kind of politics which IL
entirely different than Nermonters are
accustomed to deal with.
The claim that Roosevelt was robbed
OF votes in New York county by the poor
manipulation of the primary system car
rled some weight there. because II was
known that the urinary worked poorly
and that many voters failed to get their
votes counted. albeit the inference IL fair
that as many Taft m~n As Roosevelt
men were thus deprived OF the right.
But here in Vermont there IL not the
slightest intmatlon that Taft managers
"rohhcd" Roosevelt, nor that any slick
politics prevented a fun and free expires
sion Of Roosevelt sentiment; indeed, If
the truth were known, II would probably
turn out that the Roosevelt support was
more closely gathered TO the cuucuscs
than cas- the TAFT strength.
In consequence, every Roosevelt dele
gate is tagged with a Roosevelt tag As
securely as an expression OF sentiment oy
the voters in tho individual caucuses Wa
able to do the Job; and they will be
men OF unusual hardihood who attempt
TO go back on those instructions.
Therefore. for Manager Dixon TO has
ten To Vermont with an expressed pur-
pose TO prevent any further political
robbery" by Taft supporters il absurd
All he can do IL to snap up some OF the
stray totes which were not instructed by
the caucuses and in that the Roosevelt
managers have rs fair n field of opera
tion ns the Taft managers. But there
will be no robbery" on either side. Mr.
