the other persons pulse, feel the
thrills, the disappointments and the
keen interest one has in the usual
high class movie"

Los Angeles where blind persons at
tend the movies regularly, by the aid
of friends.

Paredes from his position is stated
in Mexicali, and that President Car

by Paredes, was an open def to Car

cali and vicinity, this week, with an
eye to their effectiveness sin case the

Wisconsin Senator Says the Will of
the People Is Being Thwart-
ed by "War Party"
CBy A Associated Press)

Washington, Oct. 6.-Senator La
Toilette replied to his critics in a
long speech in the Senate today.
He asserted the "war party" be-
sides carrying on a campaign Of Ii
bel and character assassination
against members of Congress, was
attempting to suppress discussion
of war issues He aid they intiim-
dated people themselves by invading
their homes and unlawfully throwing
them into jail.
He quoted the war speeches of Lin
coin, Clay, Webster and Sumner, as
sailing the governments policy. He
made no reference to his speech at
st. Paul, which dealt with criticism
Of himself only, generally.
Senator La Toilette said six sena-
tors and about fifty members of the
House voted against the declaration
of war, and Immediately there was
let loose upon these senators and rep
esentatives Il flood of invective and
abuse from newspapers and individu-
ais who had been clamoring for war
which was anequaled in the history
Of civilized society.
The triumphant war party had pur-
sued those congressman with mali
cious falsehoods, he said, and with
reckless libelous attacks, going to the
extreme limit Of charging them with
treason against their country.
He charged the war party with
trying to intimidate the sovereign
people by telling them they must be
silent while the government does
things vitally concerning their well
being, happiness and lives.
Replying to Senator La Toilette,
Senator Robinson of Arkansas said:
at is unfortunate for the country
and for the senator from Wisconsin
that he has lent himself to the pro-
motion of the ideas and desires of
