 Hear president-Urges Repub- Iieans Not to Think of 1920"

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 12.-Reply- hp here today to objections that
 reat Britain would have prepond- rance of voting power in the league
 nations assembly, President Will bn said any possible danger on that tore was removed by the fact that ecsions must be unanimous.
 The speech here was the second he president made during the day.
 e spoke this morning at Occur
 'Alene, Idaho, making an invasion the state represented by United tates Senator Borah in the senate.
 t Occur D'Alene, the tent in which e spoke was not entirely filled. Here
 the armory every seat was taken.
 The league of nations assembly,
 he president declared, was largely
 debating body" and seldom would 1t on important questions and Fhen it did the United States with $ one vote would have an "absolute eto' under the rule requiring hanimous vote.
 There was only one case in which
 assembly could decide an import It question, he said, and that whes Pch question was unanimously
 ferred to it by the council. The Psembly also must act unanimously,
 added, so that in either council ar Psembly, the one vote of the United Fates would constitute a veto power.
 The unanimous rule, added the resident, seemed to him the only eaEness of the league, but it was a eakness in the direction of throw g safeguard around national Pvereignty.
 MT; Wilson also discussed at ngth proposed reservations to the saty and asked for it's unqualified fceptarce.
 He asked the republicans present to think of 1920 when thinking
 the the redemption of the world" Pang that he himself did not for a oment do so.
