 Hayden won from his audinece a tremendous applause when he said: Jefferson is not with us now in per son to lead and guide us, but we have a man to represent us, to represent the great American people, who is la boring honestly, sincerely and fear lessly for us all, the greatest states man of modern times-Woodrov Will son."
 ''Jefferson," he continued had the same criticism thrust at him through his declaration of independence that is now being thrust at President Will son because of the league of nations. The same arguments were made against the constitution of the U. S. as are being made against the league of nations There IS nothing new in these attacks. Right will win now as it won then and in tIme to come Amer jeans will look back upon the deeds of the president with admiration in manner similar to our glance back at the declaration of independence. The wisdom of the president is apparent to the majority now and in time to come it will be apparent to all.''
 Speaking of bolshevism. Hayden termed the government in Russia an experiment which could not result in good To illustrate, he spoke, of the method of voting there, saying, If you are a farmer and doing your own work you may vote. but if you are farmer and find it necessary to hire man to help you then you automat- ically disfranchise yourself, and can not vote.
 ""Such a doctrine cannot stand.'' he said Jefferson saw the evils of such doctrine through. the French revolu- ton, and. after long search through history, concluded that the only demo- cratic form of government must be one in which the minority is given equal rights at the polls, the poorest man a trial by jury and that such government must be based upon three fundamental principles. namely, legis- lative, executive and judicial" Has Plan to Crush Reds
 Hayden surprised his audience when referring again to the rule in Russia he said:
 Tt may be this summer that wall will be thrown about Russia by the armies in such manner as to bring the Russian people to their senses by starvation or otherwise, and cause them to establish a sane government there and guarantee to the world am pie protection for themselves and others ''
 i Mistakes to Be Expected i Senator Smith, wno followed Hay, den upon the platform, took up the thread of thought, dwelling especially ltupon the administrators accomplish ments during the war. He said: We have heard so much about mistakes Of course there have been mistakes Why wouldn't there be in such an un dertaking? Here was a country with only a small army and peace propa ganda rampant when we were called upon to enter the world conflict. Ir less than a year there were 5,000,00C men in the field and we saved France from destruction ana drove back and defeated the Hun. Mistakes? Yes there were mistakes. But I wonder that there were not more mistakes, 2 thousand times more mistakes.
 Factionalism Eliminated
 The way the American people ral lied, the way both democrats and re
 
 sented a solid front in congress was marvellous. Party lines disappeared at once. Now that the dawn is break ing, why these criticisms, these cries about mistakes?

 Senator Ashurst, the last speaker was introduced by Judge Baker a
 one of Arizona S most gifted orators. Ashurst Touches on Prohibition , Ashurst, as a sort of introduction as a man just home from Washington said: Perhaps you people think it wa : the long-haired man and the short-hai1 : ed women who made the nation dry but that is not true. We saw the tid of the nation that had turned agains drink and we said if drink can ruil one single boy then we and the natiol
 are through with it. That is all.'
 Following the trend of Senate
