 Americas Growing Together.
 At this moment the Americas are growing together upon that handsome privilege of reciprocal respect and de- fense.'
 Detailed plans for strengthen the army and navy, and the aviation corps and for making munitions and arma- ment by the government were out lined The president spoke for nearly an hour.

 Many Turned Away.
 Four galleries beside main floor were white with faces. Many hal sought in vain to obtain tickets and were turned away.

OUR NAVY READY FOR
 IMMEDIATE WAR
But Army Not Large Enough for
 Peace Duties, Says Wilson

Chicago, Feb. 1-The United States has made preparations for immediate war as far as the navy is concerned, although the present naval force is in adequate in size, President Wilson de- clared last night in an address before several thousand persons in the Aud itorium here.
 We mean business" he said i'll speaking of the preparedness plans of the administration.
 We have given to the present fleet of the United States an organization such as it never had before, I am told by Admiral Fletcher the president said. And we have made preparations for immediate war so far as the navy is concerned
 Our Army Inadequate.
 The army, the president said, as at present constituted, lis not large enough, even for the ordinary duties of peace.'
 The president repeated his warn ings that no time must be lost in strengthening the defenses of the na- tion. He declared that the govern ment was doing everything it could for preparedness.
 When I see some Of my fellow citi- zens spread finder where the sparks are falling, I wonder what their ideal of Anericanism is,'' the president said.
 America Cruelty Misjudged.
 America, the president said, had been cruelty n,isjudged by the nations now at war.
 1T know that on the other side of the water there has been a great deal of cruel misjud gment with regard to the reasons why America has re- mained neutral. Those looking at Us from a distance do not feel the strong pulses of ideals and principles that are in us
 Mission of Peace.
 "They do not feel tho conviction of America that our mission is a mission Of peace and that righteousness can not be maintained Q S a standard in the midst of arms. They do not realize that back of all OUT energy we are & body of idealists much more ready to lay down our lives for a thought than for a dollar.
 '"They suppose, some of them, that we are holding off because we can make money while others are dying, the most cruel misunderstanding that any nation has ever had to face-sO wrong that 1t seems almost useless to try to correct it because it shows that the very fundamentals of our life are not comprehended or understOOd.'
 Rulers Caused War.
 Rulers, not public opinion, brought about the present war, MT Wilson de- clared.
 T thank God there is no man in the United States who has the authority to bring on war without the consent of the nation,' he said. Assert Principles of Law. ''The task of the United States has been to assert the principles of law in a world in which the principles of law have broken down.
 We are not now thinking of in vasion of the territory of the United States,' the president declared. That is not what is making US think. We are not asking ourselves shall we be prepared only to defend our own home and our own shores. 'Is that all we stand for? to keep the door shut securely against our enemies? What about the great trus- teeship set up for liberty of national

each county, either on the floor of the banquet hall or in the headquarters prior to the meeting
 Many enthusiastic speeches were made by those present.
 The speach of judge Toney, of Chicot County, was among those that created the greatest enthusiasm, although it was brief. He said he had not come to Little Rock as a supporter of MT. Hodges, but he should go back to Chicot County as his supporter.
 Old time politicians, men who have seen the clans gather here for the last twenty years, declare that this was the largest and most enthusiastic meeting ever held by the friends of any candi- date for governor, prior to the primary election, Many of those present declared itlooked like landslide for Hodges, and some of his friends, who had not been so enthusiastic before, declared there was no way to defeat him for governor.
 Around the headquarters of the other two candidates there was no activity, and outside of the conferences held at each of them during the day by a few friends in the city, there was nothing to indicate that there was more than one man in the race for goy- ernor. Therewas not a report made at the Hodges meeting that was not favorable to him, and a report from Dr. Brough's home town of Fayetteville, said that the doctor was losing votes in that section every day, and that Hodges gaining kept up from now until the primary. Hodges would carry that county. MT. Hodges expressed himself as greatly pleas at the outlook and left Monday for South Arkansas where he has speaking dates for the balance of the week.

FOR JOINT CANVASS
 OF CANDIDATES

It has been a long time since Nevada County has enjoyed a real old joint canvass of the can didates for the different county offices. We have talked to quite a number of the candidates and citizens:and find that they are all anxious for a joint campaign this Spring, Why not arrange for this canvass at once and save so much of this bushwhacking. We beleive that this is the fairest mode of campaigning after all.
 Then if there is any thing sprung on any of the candidates. they will have an oportunity of answering it, besides. this will save the candidates considerable expense and the people lots of worry. The voters will only be too glad to lose one day or half day in attending these discus sions, and by so doing will have a better oportunity of selecting the right man for the place. Let us hear. from the people over the county on this subject.
