cotfs speech at the patriotic mass
meeting held at the Queen Theatre last
pirhf. held under the auspices OF the
Committce on Patriotic Addresses.
THE Senator's explanation about LID
eriv Bonds was timely and settled IN
the minds of many who had hithero
NOT given ihe question OF why 10 was

money In bank any doubts That existed.
And what he had TO say about Germany
and prusslanism and weak-kneed Amer

Josiah Marvel opened the meeting
and introduced Henry p. Scott as the
chairman. Mr.. Scott appealed Tor LID
ertv Bond subscribers and prepared the
audience, that fllled every seat In me
big auditorium, for what was TO iol-

with William p. White to lead them
and the band playing the air, the au-

Regarding the Liberty Bonds senator
Wolcott said shat instead OF coaxins
people TO buy bonds that they ought TO
Sc rocking TO the banks 20 subscribe
for them. That 70 was the best invest
ment they could make. That II the
country ever approached financial rocks
that lt could tax bank stock and money
IN bank 20 pay those who held bonds,
SO that the bonds came prior to cash IN
bank and stock.
The senator outlined the causes
through the submarine and the viola
tion Of Belgium leading up to the United
States declaring war.
u say 10 you that the man who says
we have no reason for being at war
with Germany ought to be sent back to
the German master. We are ilehtlng
