Los President Wilson COM
pleted his week Of speech-making on
the Pacific coast Saturday night with
monster mass meeting here.
Welcomed to the city by 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 din Of
applause and later at public dinner
cheers greeted his declarations that
the treaty should and would be ac-
copied.
When he entered the auditorium for
his night speech he was cheered for
more than two minutes by crowd
estimated by the police at six thOus-
and. The hall was jammed and out
side were thousands who could not get
in. Some had been waiting since early
morning for the doors to open.
Mr.. Wilson alluded to an address
made by President Mckinley on the
day before his assassination, and as
serted that the martyred presidents
words about concord and arbitration
seemed to show he had prophetic
vision on the eve Of his death.
Referring to objections that the
| league would involve the United States
in "entangling alliances" Mr.. Wilson
said the league was in fact a proposal
| for Acknowledgement.
what Washington had in mind was
exactly what these gentlemen want to
lead us back to- he said. ''The day
of alliances is behind us"
| Article X the president character
| lied as an extension of the Monroe
doctrine to the whole world. He de-
clared there could he no real world
rehabilitation until the universal spirit
Of unrest was quieted by the establish
ment of peace.
Without the United States in the
| league, said the president, there could
| be no real guarantee of the peace set
Element. Because the American sugges-
tons at the peace table had been ac-
copied as entirely disinterested, he de-
clared, most of the decisions at the
| conference We're framed, in the end,
ION American specifications" Indus
trially, economically, and politically he
added, the world would be sin despair"
| if America now deserted it.
President Wilson came to Los An
geles Saturday to conclude his stay
on the Pacific coast with a two-day
visit devoted mostly to rest. The only
appointments on his program up to
his departure Sunday night We're a
public dinner and night address at
the Shriners' auditorium.
Mrs. Wilson spent quietly, leaving
their hotel only to attend services dur
ing the morning at st. Paul's Episco-
pal cathedral. A report that they
would take an afternoon automobile
ride brought big crowd around the
hotel, but 1t waited in vain.
An extract from a magazine article
written in 1914 by Theodore Roosevelt
was read by President Wilson in an adj
dress at San Diego on September 10,
as an argument in favor of the league
Of nations.
Speaking to cheering crowd, which
filled the great San Diego stadium, the
president also quoted from Senator
Lodge, one of the most bitter oppon-
ents of the treaty in its present form,
and declared that, in framing the
league covenant, the Versailles confer
hol oil %ho Hvio Of
and other Republican statesmen.
Speaking from glass-inclosed plat
form, the presidents words were car
ried out to the distant rim of the stadi-
um by means Of an electrical device.
Only part of those present could hear
him, however, and before he finished
there were many empty seats.
President Wilson reached San Fran
cisco from Portland on Wednesday
morning. Two addresses were on the
presidents program for the first day
Of his stay in San Francisco. He
given by various womens organiza-
tons Of California and was applauded
again and again when he declared it
was in the interest of the women Of
the country that the treaty be ac-
cepted.
When the presidential special
stopped for few minutes at Ocean
side, CAL, an old man told Mr.. Wilson
that he was for the league of nations.
and added, II am a Republican, but I
voted for you last time and will vote
for you again."
''No, I am not laundering for trou-
bic" replied the president with
laugh.
