By Associated Pres.

Keno, New, September 2Z. Contrasting the peace confer ence at Versailles with the con- gress at Vienna President Will son declared in an address here tonight that the Vienna peace effort had failed because all the government represented there was in the hands of "a small coterie of autocrats."
 At versailles said the President. the league of nations covenant was drawn up by great democracies so that autocracies never again could enslave the peoples of the world.
 One of the purposes of the Vienna conference. Mir. Wilson Asserted, was to form such a union as would hold in check the growing tide of democ- iracy The chief concern of the dele gates who met at Versailles. he added, was to accomplish exactly the op posite.
 Speaking in | theatre here to a crowd of about 2000 the President ire ouently was interrupted by applause. By ar electrical device his words were carried to, three other theatres holding 1000 persons each.
 The President was welcomed to Reno by crowds which 'cheered him at the railway station and along the short automobile ride through the principal streets. Governor Boyle pre- sided at the meeting and MT. wilson was introduced by Charles Chandler. a republican lawyer, who said he denied the right of "a few prominent sen ators" to commit the republican party to opposition of the peace treaty"

 'This treaty was not written, essen tially speaking, in Paris he said. Tt was written at Chateau Thierry, in Bellcau Wood and in the Argonne.
 'Our men did not fight with the purpose of coming back and having the same thihs 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 Y was at the frontier that was found the forward looking people. Too many who oppose the treaty. he asserted, were looking over their shoulders.
 Referring to the .insubordinate rest lessness'' prevailing in Europe and Asia. Mir. Wilson asserted that the world not only desired peace. but must have 1t.
 America only, he said. could guar-NI anty such a peace. Asking his hear CTS whether they had not heard of or ganizations in America "the purpose of which is nothing less than to over turn the government itself' he added that it was important to America also that unrest be uuieted.
 PEOPLE MISINFORMED
