 RENO, New, Sept 22-Contrasting the peace conference at Versailles with son declared in an address here tonight that the Vienna peace effort had failed because all the governments repres- ented there were in the hands of "a small coterie of autocrats.''
 At Versailles said the president, the league of nations covenant was drawn up by democracies so that autocracies never again could enslave the peoples of the world
 One of the purposes of the Vienna conference, Mr Wilson asserted was to form such a union as would hold in check the growing tide of democracy. The chief concern of the delegates who sat at Versailles, he added was to ac- complished exactly the opposite.
 Speaking in theater here to a crowd of about 1000, the president frequently was interrupted by ap- plause By an electrical device his words were carried to three. other theaters holding 1000 persons each.
 All Reno Turns Out
 The president was welcomed to Reno by crowds which cheered him at the railway station and along the line of short automobile ride through the principal streets. Governor Boyle pre- M was introduced by Chas. Chandler, a republican lawyer who said he denied the right of "a few proment senators" to commit the republican party to op- position of the peace treaty. The treaty, he declared, contained good republican doctrine"
 The crowd rose and cheered when the president was introduced and there was a demonstration for Mrs. Wilson also when MT. Chandler mentioned her name.
 In his reference to the congress of Vienna, the president said that the ef- fort there made to stifle revolution and democracy had been unsuccessful in every nation but Germany.
 It was the invocation of the Monroe doctrine, he said. that broke the back bone of autocracy's effort to over whelm South America and added that at Versailles the cycle of liberty had been completed by application of the Monroe doctrine to the whole world.
 Unlike the Vienna congress, con- tinued the president, the conference was made up Of men who knew they were the servants and not the masters of the people. As the peoples servants, he said, they had carried out their promise of a permanent peace
 Written On War Torn Fields
 This treaty was not written, essen tially speaking, in Parii," he said. It was written at Chateau Thierry, in Belleau Wood and the Argonne. Our men did not fight with the purpose of coming back and having the same thing happen again. They fought with the purpose of seeing the thing through and we are going to see it through
 Paying a tribute to the frontier spirit of the west, the president said it was at the frontier that was found the | forward looking people. Too many who oppose the treaty. he asserted, were looking over their shoulders.
 Talks of |. w. w | Referring to the insubordinate restlessness," prevailing in Europe and | Asia, MT. Wilson asserted that the | world not only desired peace, but must have it. America only, he said, could guarantee such a peace. Asking his l hearers whether they had not of or ganiZations in America, the purpose 1 of which is nothing less than to over | turn the government itself" he added that it was important to America also that unrest be quieted.
 Repeating his previous declarations in support of article ten and other dis | puted points of the treaty, the pres- rdent said the people had been "dili gently misinformed about the contents of the document. He lauded the labor and mandatory features of the treaty saying it contributed a great guarantee of justice and liberty"
 The president also discussed the ob- jection that the British empire would have an unusual representation in tht league assembly, saying that the feal expressed on that score was a "buga boo" He also explained the Shantuns provision of the treaty, and said tn, league furnished China her best hope Df regaining control of the province.
 It was at the instance of the United States, said MT. Wilson, that Japal promised to return the Shantung right to China, and international law wa. so "revolutionized" by article eleven O the covenant that the great power' would be in position to secure fulfill ment for that promise.
 Discussing the withdrawal feature Mir. Wilson said he didn't want to ge into the league with a fear he migh not be able to get out, but wanted {, go in with the hope of staying an, helping all he could. The crow, cheered when he added:
 T want to get into any kind o trouble that will help liberate mankind don't want to always be thinkin, about my skin or my pocketbook o my friendship
 He added that when those oppos ing the league feel the impulse o courage instead of the impulse 0 cowardice," they would see the ques tion in it's proper light
