Arizona republican., 1919-06-25

LOT the WOrlQ. l am proud OI tue power of my country and of the man. ner in which that power has been used: and l am proud of the leadership of President Wilson.
 Only year ago, General Haig. with the bluntness of soldier, said ''The British army is fighting with it's back against the wall" Less than a year ago, Lloyd George said, It is a race between Wilson and Hindenburg," and at that very moment, France was clinging like a drowning man to the Rock Of Verdun, and turning agonizing eyes toward America. And America arrived. The war was won and 1 cha1- lenge the critics of the administration to suggest how. within the bounds of human possibility, we could have won the war more promptly or with less loss of American life? The republican party is rendering small service to America when it converts the machin cry of it's organization into an instru- ment of attack upon American leader ship and American honor.
 The gentlemen who are now leading the republican party, criticizing the president of the United States, and warning the people against the policies O. Wilson and the league of nations, are the bad advisers of old, the dis credited leaders, inc men whose coun- sel led to trouble, and whose advice 1 had to be discarded before America could make progress. Is this too gen. eral an assertion? Let me be little more particular. Was it not Senator | Lodge who proclaimed in the senate 1 that the federal reserve system was foredoomed to failure? Was it not Senator Root who said that the fed eIal reserve system would ruin the financial structure Of America? Was il not Senator Penrose who took the samo position? And did not all these gentlemen oppose the passage of the shipping bill which was urged by Sec retary !hcAdoo two years before the war began? Was it not this same group of leaders who are responsible for the opposition to the income tax the farm loan system and the agricul- tural and labor bills? These are the same bad advisers, who, hopeful that America has forgotten their bad advice are now rendering their suggestions as to the future.
 The republican organization has re- verted to type. Its leaders seek to re- store the good old days of Mark Hanna" Unable to agree upon any constructive program of their own, they unite in rnfaltering opposition to any thing and everything that is proposed
 by President Wilson. The threatened revolt of the seven progressive repub-
 lican senators has been suppressed
 The choice committee assignments gc
 to Penrnse, Lodge. Warren and Snoot while tie unhappy reformers are con-
 tent with places upon minor commit
 tees. i'be insu1rection has collapsed The dying spasms of republican liber- alism have ceased and the reactionaries are in full control of the senate anC , the house. Will the liberal spirit O the people of Arizona permit them tt |, fellow leadership s5 hopelessly Bodc , bon, so pitifully inadequate. so com pietely reactionary? Will the spirit 0 fairness of the people of this state per , init them to take part in a campaign i. of islander which the reactionary lead CTS of the republican organization ar, waging against our president? So vindictive have become their at , tacks upon the president, so outrageou . have become their assaults, that on , would imagine that President Wilsol
 was an arch criminal being brough , before the bar of world justice. Am
 
 country successfully through the great
 est war of all times, and following that
 to devote his great talents to creatin,
 a structure of world peace which shal , make the recurrence of war unlikely
 if not, impossible. The president ha
 endeavored to realize for humanity tn dearest dream that has come to tn mind of man since the dawn of civiliza ' ton.
 f For the first time in the turbulen
 annals of the human race, an agree 8 ment has been adopted, calculated { f include ultimately all the nations of tn world and to arrange international af 9 fairs, not in accordance with the out - grown doctrines of another age but d harmony with the principles of huma = justice applicable equally to the grea - and to the small. That an America e president is engaged in this wor
 should move every American hear = irrespective of party utilization or per e sonal prejudice, to a fervent praye e that he may succeed in his great tasl r Despite all obstacles and discourage = ments. he has persisted. Within a fe' e days he will return to America, bear Il ing with him the greatest document e human liberty ever prepared by u l, hands of man. It is not conceivab e that the malice of a few will be peI 0 mitted to deny to America and to tt g world this measure of healing. . Vice Chairman Kremer, MT. Cochra n and Mrs. Bass left for the coast ye. e terday afternoon. MT. Cummings wi it take his departure this morning.
