 Welcomed to the city by a crowd which densely packed the downtown section, the president was cheered unanimously everywhere he appeared during the day. Along the line of a ten-mile parade, he rode in a din of applause and later at public dinner, cheers greeted his declarations that the treaty should and would be ac- cepted.
 When he entered the auditorium for his night speech, he was cheered for more than two minutes by crowd estimated by the police at 5000.
 The hall was jammed and outside were thousands who could not get in. Some had been waiting since early morning for the doors to open.
 At the auditorium MT. Wilson was introduced by Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, national president of the gen. eral federation of Women's clubs, who told the crowd that the league of na- tions must and will become the bull work of of war weary world for all l time" The politician partisan" she asserted, had no place in discussion of the peace treaty.
 The meeting had been advertised as one of strictly partisan charac- ter and many of the states prominent republicans sat on the platform Among them were Henry W. Wright | speaker of the California assembly and Marshall Stimson, who was cam paign manager in Southern California for Senator Hiram W. Johnson in 1910 | MT. Wilson alluded to an address made by President Mckinley on the day before his assassination and as- 1 serted that the martyred president words about concord and arbitration seemed to show he had a prophetic vision on the eve of his death.
