cause" The resolut on was adopted
with whoop.
Our Duty Just Begun
"Our duty in America" said Senator
Ashurst, "has just begun. We are
required to get into the international
game whether we like it Or not. You
don't like it. don't like it. George
Washington said, Keep out of sccrc.
alliances Well, the league of nations
furnishes the chart by which you can
avoid the secret alliances Woodrow
Wilson knew it when he advocated it. d"
Senator Ashurst took full credit on
behalf of the Democratic party for
Americas achievements in the war-a
view voiced by almost all the speakers.
"Of course. there were Mistakes" he
confessed. Then he added ironically:
Nobody but tho Republican party
could have carried on such a war with
out mistakes. There may have been
money stolen. There may have been
graft But there was more money
stolen in the little Spanish-Amcrican
War than was stolen in the great world
war"
Referring to Ireland again, Senator
Ashurst said if the question were sub
mitted to a nationwide plebiscite tho
vote would be 20 to / in favcr o. free
ing the Emerald Isle.

justice be granted to all nationalities,
great and small, and recalling the
historic mission and sacrifice of
America to make the world safe for
democracy;
Resolved, by the Society Of Tam
many, that we reiterate our resolu-
tion of February 8, 1919, in which
we greeted all the newly formed
republics, approved the principles for
which the great world war was
fought, denied the right of one ma
ton to rule another without the con-
sent of the governed, and demanded
the right of DIFFERENTIATION for
Ireland;
Resolved, That we rcpledge our
sympathy and support to the people
OF Ireland, who for seven centuries
have increasingly struggled to secure
their independence;
Resolved, that we demand that
because of the justice Of their
claims, their great sacrifices and
their heroic courage, and in view
of the fact that Ireland has recently
exercised, by an overwhelmin ma
jority her right of self determine
ton, she be now recognized as a free
nation;
Resolved, that we request the
Democratic members from Manhat-
tan in the House of Representatives
to continue their diligent efforts in
behalf of Ireland's cause, to the end
that she be recognized as a free and
independent republic among the ma
tions Of the world"
Says Senate Win Ratify
United States Senator Harrison, of
Mississippi, praised President Wilson,
and declared the league Of nations
covenant would be ratified by the
Senate.
Great problems now confront U.S."
said Senator Harrison "Bolshevik doc
trines have found their way into the
United States. Every man who does
not love the Stars and Stripes and
wants to tear down the Constitution
should be sent from our shores That
flag and the red flag Of anarchy have
no place side by side in America"
Francis Martin, District Attorney Of
the Bronx, devoted his talk largely to
labors part in the war.
Our American laboring men know
that whatever wrongs exist they can
be righted by the ballot" said Mr.. Mar
tin. "They know, too, that there is no
need to resort to bombs If laborers
from foreign countries don't like this
country we tell them: GO back to the
country from which you came.'"
Elizabeth McCrystal, the first woman
to address a Fou~th of July audience
in historic Tammany Hall, said That
while giving thanks to the returned SOL
diers and sailors, we must not forget
to thank God for the pioneers who
sowed the seed that in 1776 broke forth
in independence.
The venerable John R. Voorhis, grand
sachem of the order Of Tammany, who
Is in his ninetieth year, presided, and
made the address of welcome. Govern
or, Smith, who is one of the thirteen
sachems, read the Declaration Of indie
pendence, without which no Tammany
celebration of the Fourth is complete.
