+, We produced the ackDoWIe dyed leadel
of the liberal thought of the world
under whose standard gather the tr1ec
statesmen of every civilized nation
holding up his hands, rs with c!eal
| vision and superb courage he leads
| the peoples of the world in their VIC
| toriOus charge against the arch-enemy
| of civilization"
| Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, In
discussing the victories of the Penrose
and Mann groups in the senate and
house, said that "the new Republican
congress has only commenced it's work,
| but it is already clear that on matters
| of internal policy 1t has reverted to
type" and he vigorously assailed the
Republicans for having in mind the
accession to the presidency only, when
he said: '"This, too, is the obvious OBJ
jective in the foreign policy of the Re-
publican party. / asked a prominent
member of that party, who happens to
be an intimate personal friend OF
mine, what is the purpose or the pol
icy of Senator Lodge as chairman of
the committee on foreign relations.
He said, That changes from day to
day. When Mr.. Lodge reads his morn
ing paper at the breakfast table and
sees what the president, has said or
done, his policy Of the next" twenty
four hours becomes the diametrical OPP
posite.'s You could not get. two Repub-
lican senators to agree, on definite
foreign policy along constructive lines,
but you can get a majority to oppose
anything put forward by the president
of the United States.
Aims Well Defined.
$50 we are approaching the cam
paign of 2O-apprOaching it with the
broad principles settled in. advance:
conservatism, special privilege, parti-
sanship, destruction on the one hand;
liberalism, common sense idealism,
constructiveness and progress on the
other" said Mr.. Roosevelt.
Maintaining that the League of Ma
tons will not be made partisan af-
fair unless the Republicans SO elect,
the Democratic National committee
recorded itself in favor of the cove
nant in brief terms, as fOllOwsS
1--WE, the Democratic National COM
mittee, recognizing the splendid serv-
son in behalf of just and enduring
peace, extend to him our heartfelt
good wishes and congratulations, and
be it
"Reso1ved, that we do hereby record
ourselves in favor of the prompt rati-
f1cation by the senate of the treaty OF
peace, including the covenant of the
League Of Nations"
One address, made by q woman, that |
attracted much attention from the |
newspapers was that Mrs. William r. |
Pattangall of Maine in predicting that |
the women could control the Pine Tree |
state and that victory lay within Dem
ocratic grasp if the proper appeal was
made to the women.
Tribute to President Wilson.
But the woman vote cannot be
bought, it cannot be handled by ward
heelers, nor can it be carried off it's
feet by brass bands or spread-eagle
oratory," said she. eff we cannot vote
for Woodrow Wilson in 1920 we want
to vote for someone as nearly like him
as possible"
At the request of the women the
committee adopted this resolution:
Whereas, the Democratic party
stands committed to the just cause of
woman suffrage, and
whereas, it now seems certain that
the federal amendment granting suf-
frage to women will within few days
pass the United States senate, and
"Whereas, the Democratic party
earnestly desires that women of all
states may vote in the election of
1920; therefore be it
"Resofved, by the Democratic Ma
tiOnal committee, that it urges the call
ing Of special sessions of state legis-
latures wherever necessary, to ratify
