BILLINGS, Mont. Sept. 11-Lay
ing his appeal for the peace treaty
before the people of Montana today,
President Wilson declared the ques-
ton of it's ratification was a ques-
ton whether the United States would
fulfill its pledge to its people and to
the world.
There were two addresses on his
days program, Mr.. Wilson speaking
at the Billings auditorium before
noon SO that he could reach Helena
In time for meeting tonight. He was
enthusiastically received by more than
5000 persons.
"It was q mistake" the president
said, "to debate the peace treaty as IL
1t were an ordinary treaty. 1t was
not merely with Germany, but treaty
effected a settlement of the affairs Of
the world.
And 1t is this treaty or no treaty"
he added. ut Is this treaty because
there can be no other"
The settlement Is the first interna-
tional settlement that is based upon
the happiness Of the average people
throughout the world. 1t is people, s
treaty and / venture to the prediction
that it Is not wise for parliaments and
congresses to attempt to alter II"
ut is a severe treaty. he added,
but justly 50"

NEED MORE COPS
WILSON CLAIMS
Should Have Best Men on Traffic
Duty, is Claim
NO POLITICS IN 1T, He ADDS
with Chief Burke in Opinion
That More Patrolmen Are
Necessary

Estimating the least number Of
men needed for patrol duty by the
police department at ten men, Alder
man William G. Wilson, chairman Of
the police committee, stated today
that there was no question in his mind
Of the city's need of more men.
Chief Burke had said that we need
more men and certainly he ought to
KNOW" Mr.. Wilson said. There In
no question In my mind as to the need
OF more police"
The virtual head of the police de-
partment declared that there had
been absolutely no politics in the
naming Of the police and that he had
never made any requests to the chief
to discriminate between any members
Of the force for political or personal
reasons.
Mayor Dorsey was also given a
clean slate by Mr. Wilson on that
score when he said, mo one could
accuse the mayor of showing any
political favoritism in making his
appointments to the police force.''
Ex-service men who are now on
the police force or who have made
application for appointment are the
only members of the force who have
been mentioned for any discrimina-
tions, the alderman said. ut seems
to me that the least we can do for
these men who have fought for the
country Is to give them what prefer
ence we can. 1t Is little enough that
the police can do for the ex-service
men and I believe that the mayor is
in accord with my views that they
should be given the first place wher-
ever possible" Mr.. Wilson said.
The only exception made in favor
of the ex-Service men amount to q
change from a night to day shift or
some similar routine work, Mr.. Will
son said.
At the same time the chairman OF
the police committee argued strongly
for the appointment of service men
at this time to fill the vacancies
caused this spring by four resigna-
tfons. "The service men need the
positions and we need the protection
that they can give u.s." he said.
There Is no doubt that they are the
men best trained for the work and
most capable of giving the city eff
cient protection" Mr.. Wilson said.
The charge that there were sine
cures on the department who were
working as traffic officers was an
swered fatty by Mr.. Wilson with the
statement that he had instructed the
chief to put the best men in the de-
partment on traffic duty. There are
seven regular traffic men and one
extra now" Mr.. Wilson said, "and
we could use half again as many
more Everybody knows we have
extra heavy traffic here and the best
men on the force are needed to ham
die 1t safely and without accidents.
Since prohibition has come into effect
we don't have so or 80 per cent of
the drunks we used to have. We
need more patrolmen at night, there
can be no doubt of that"

AMERICA ALONE If NOT
In LEAGUE, WILSON SAYS

Some of the men who had called IL
unduly harsh, he said, were condemn
ing the administration a year ago be-
cause they thought the United States
would be too easy with Germany.
The treaty was q laborous work of
many minds, he added. and has very
few compromises in It," following the
general American specifications.
Should it fail. he declared, 1t would
be impossible to get together again
the elements necessary to make a new
settlement. The United States either
must take the treaty. he said. or play
a lone hand in world affairs.
IF you're to play lone hand" he
said, ''the hand that you play must
have weapon in it." And the yeapon
must be all the young men Of the
country and the business OF the coun-
try must pay the piper"

State and County Candidates to
Be Heard
ALSO MAYOR GlLEN, NEWARK
Expect Large Gathering to
Hear Most Interesting
Speakers

The Democratic political campaign
will be gotten under way with a Fly
Ing start" tonight when the Perth AM
boy Democratic Club holds its first
Dig mass meeting-,of the season in its
club rooms over the Strand Theatre in
smith street. With Senator Edward
1. Edwards, gubernatorial candidate
Tor nomination at the primaries. and
Mayor Gillen of Newark, the principal
speakers of the night an interesting
session Is to be expected.
Not only city. democrats but county
members OF that party are expected to
with the enthusiasm which is always
prevalent at such a meeting. Invita-
tons have been extended to all county
Democratic candidates to attend and
1t is expected that many of them will
address the club briefly, explaining
the principles for which they stand.
Although none Of the nine demo-
cratic candidates for Freeholder have
announced their intentions of drop
ping from the race there is an under
current of talk 10 the effect that such
action Is to be taken. It is rumored
that several of the candidates will
make an effort tonight to so put the
mater up to the other candidates that
number left In the race will be dimin-
tshed. KS M
The local Democrats are anxious
to secure one or possibly two Perth
Amboy men ON the Board of Free
holders. But two are to be elected
this year. There are four men from
this city out for these two offices on
the Democratic ticket, together with
five from other parts Of the county.
With the Amboy votes divided up
among these four men and the other
five men polling strong in their parts
of the county, Democratic leaders see
the possibility of Perth Amboy los
ing out with her candidates unless
the present number is diminished.
This situation with regard to free
holder nominations will most likely
be aired by the candidates them
selves at tonight's meeting. A rec
ord crowd is expected on this the
first big gathering to be held In erth
Amboy this election.
