In speaking Of the great foresight
of the former president, Mr.. Bar
rows related that when F. B. Corr
rick of Lincoln called on Colonel
Roosevelt in 1915, in connection
with the petition being circulated in
Nebraska asking him to become a
candidate for president, the colonel
said: s
II do not consider myself an
available candidate for the presi-
dency at this time for the reason
that many of the people believe that
am crazy over the matter of pre-
paredness, but / have seen with
my own eyes the plans of the Ger
man government for the capture of
New York City, to be held with its
principal citizens as a ransom; the
destruction Of all our munition
plants except the one at Rock Island,
ILL., Regardless of the effect on my
political future, / consider it my
duty to warn the people of the neces-
sity of preparedness just as much as
/ would consider it my duty as a
private soldier in the line of battle to
obey the order to charge the enemy"

Congressman-e Jefferis, who was
given a splendid tribute of welcome,
the whole audience rising to its

Jefferis Makes Appeal.
The speech Of Mr.. Jefferis was a
masterpiece of dignity, logic and
reasoning. There was nothing in it
to appeal to the passions, no refer
ence to past wrongs, but an appeal
based on fundamentals of right and
justice. He said the world was on
the threshold of a new era and that
America speaks today with the same
speech that the fathers used-in a
voice that shall be heard in all SIM
cerity and honesty for liberty, II it
is right to grant the Pole, the Gee
cho-Slovak. and the Serbian self
determination, it is equally right to
grant it to the Irish. 1t would be
wise for England to do the same
to Ireland as the United States did
to Cuba, and in so doing she would
win the eternal gratitude, loyalty
ami friendship of a sister people.
TIe pleaded to have England do for
ireland what it would have Ireland
do for England were the tables re-
versed.

Adopt Resolutions.
L. D. Cavanaugh, in speech Of
unusual eloquence, seconded by
Michael Hogan, then read the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopt
ed by a unanimous vote.
We, cltizenss Of the State Of Nebraska,
in meeting assembled at the Municipal
Auditorium, Omaha, Neb, on the 18th
day of January, 1918, declared:
That we rejoice over the victorious con-
clusion Of the war and the triumph Of the
ideals for which America took up arms;
That we take justiflable pride In the
record for bravery and patriotic fervor
made by the men OF the Irish race in
the army and navy, and IN the important
part they played in the decisive battles
for the democratic freedom Of the world:
That we applaud the determination OF
our president to be present at and partici-
pate in the proceedings Of the peace con-
ference, to the end that full effect may
be given to the principles enunciated by
him in his address to congress, his state
papers and his speeches. which have been
accepted by the American people as the
true reasons ana purpose Of Americas
participation In the war:
That the most important Of those prin-
clples, that OF DIFFERENTIATION as to
the form Of government, or government
by the consent of the people to be gov
erned, should be applied to the people Of
ireland in conformity with America
declaration:
That the Irish people are by race,
language and traditions a distinct and
separate people; that their country Is a
nation with well defined geographical
boundaries; that they have exercised
sovereign rights for over a thousand
years, and they have never surrendered
or compromised those rights; that those
rights are now withheld from them by
force. and that the only rule which pre-
walls In their country today is the rule
Of force against the will Of the people.
That on every battlefield from the
earliest In the revolution to the latest in
France, where American ideals were
fought for, and American interests and
institutions defended, the Irish race in
America have freely given their blood
and lives and linked themselves with
everything so essentially American that
with truth and confidence they may say
now to their country in this supreme
hour:
stand by the people whose sons
have stood for you, and show grateful
recognition and vindicate justice and
right"
Therefore. We respectfully but earnest
ly urge that our president declare at the
peace conference that the people Of Ire
land should as matter Of right and
justice, be governed only In accordance
with their consent, and that the win Of
the majority, ascertained by a plebiscite
Of the adult population be accepted as the
sovereign will Of the people instead Of
the present foreign rule Of force.

DETERMINATION
cOngTeSSman-EIeCt IefferiS,
Archbishop Harty, John
Rush and L. D. Caya-
naugh, Speakers.

Four thousand persons arose en-
inasse IN standing vote expressing
themselves in favor of self-determ-
ination for ireland at the Auditor
ium Sunday afternoon.

clusion of an address made by Con-

occasion, and brief speeches by
John Rush, president of the meet
ing: His Grace Archbishop Harty,
chairman OF the meeting, and by L.
ID. Cavanaugh, who presented a
resolution pleading the right Of the
Irish people to govern themselves
The great audience that packed
the lower floor Of the huge build
ing and comfortably filled sections
Of the gallery began to arrive early
IN the afternoon and were enter
tanned by melodies Of the Emerald
Isle played by Firms band. Old
ballads and the lifting melodies of
Thomas Moore SO appealed to the
sympathetic audience that it joined
spontaneously in the choruses and
retrains as played by the band.
Community Singing.
Later, when Prof. Patrick O'Neal
started the community singing he
found the vast crowd in rapport with
him and there ensued veritable
feast of song. THE Star Spangled
Banner" was sung with real fervor,
as were Where the River Shannon
Flows" and There's Long, Long
Trail" The middle section of the
hall seemed especially rich in love-
ly feminine voices, which blended
in harmonious volume, gave real
treat to the rest Of the audience.
John Rush, president of the meet
ing, called attention to the fact that
the pursuit Of liberty is a primal in
slinct and that the right of self-de-
termination extends to all mankind
without exception. He illustrated
the patriotism of persons of foreign
birth and antecedents in this city,
OF Catholic faith. BY the fact that
the service flag Of the diocese of
Omaha alone contained 10000 stars,
representing that number of young
men who have fought for universal
liberty and democracy on land and
sea. under the stars and stripes,
from the diocese of Omaha.
Archbishop Speaks.
Archbishop Harty Said he was
glad to preside at so representative
a meeting and that he had an in
tense, sincere love in his heart for
the cradle of the Irish race and the
home of his fathers. He said he
was impelled to invoke the Divine
blessing upon Ireland, her sons, her
daughters and her friends. He point
ed out that the specific purpose OF
the meeting was to set forth the
vindication Of Ireland's right to be
governed only by the consent OF the
governed As an American he had
an intense love for the value of our
country, of its robust men and
women, of the heroism of her sol
diers on the battlefelds of Europe
while they were fighting for an ideal
in the world war. He was thrilled
to think of America as the home. OF
human liberty and human dignity,
two things which Ireland aspired to,
struggled and prayed for during the
past 700 years. He was proud there
were no Irish bolshevikis or anar-
chists and that the Irish stood, not
for freedom for themselves alone,
but for all the world.
The Archbishop then introduced
