Reno, New, Sept 22.-Contrasting

effort had failed because all the gov

AT Versailles. said the president the
league of nations covenant was drawn
up Dy great democracies so that au
tUcracies never again could enslave
the people of the world.
One of the purposes of the Vienna
conference, Mr.. Wilson asserted, was
20 folm such union as would hold
in check the growing tide of democra-
cy. The chief concern OF the delegates
who sat at Versailles, he added was
to accomplish exactly the opposite.
Speaking in a theater here to a
crowd OF about 2,000. the president
frequently was interrupted by APP
plause. BY an electrical device his
words were carried to three other
theaters holding 1000 persons each.
The president was welcomed TO
the railway station and along the line
of a short automobile ride through the
principal streets. Governor Boyle pre-
sided at the meeting and Mr. Wilson
was introduced by Charles Chandler,

MED the right OF "a few prominent
senators to commit the republican,
party to opposition of the peace trea-

The crowd rose and cheered when
Mrs. Wilson was introduced and there
was demonstration for Mrs Wilson
also when Mr.. Chandler mentioned
her name.

Vienna, the president said that the
effort 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 autocraey'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 Monroe doctrine, con-
tinued the president, the conference
a Versailles was made up of men who
knew they were servants and not the
masters of the people. AS the peoples
servants, he said, they had carried out
their promise of permanent peace.
This treaty was not written essen

in Belleau Wood and the Argonne.
"Our men did not fight with tho
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 tribute to the frontier
spirit of the west, the president said
the forward looking people, Too
