to the freedom of the seas. The carrying
ttof the "a points to Paris by Mr.. Wilson
cost the people Of this country not Less
than $1,6O6, 900 in travelling expenses
alone, the speaker maintained.
| In regard to the British claim that
they have won the war, Mr., Lundeen
said he was willing to admit that the
British "won the foot race for the ocean. /"
He also mentioned the fact that the
shreWd Englishmen borrow our good
American dollars at IL per cent and
reloan them to Persia and other smaller
countries for 7per cent, putting the 2 1-2
per cent in their own pockets
The Ortonville Incident.
Mr.. Lundeen also spoke of the orion
vile incident, assuming that his hearers
were interested to hear something about
his experience there. On entering the
hall in which he was scheduled to deliver
his address, he was met by the sheriff
of Big Stone county, a big portly gentle
man, he said, addressing him with these
| words: gu can't speak here tonight"
Mr.. Lundeen replied: GU can't bluff
me. | am here to speak on the League
OF Nations Then he went up to the
stage and began addressing the gather.
| ing. He said, Ladies and gentlemen,
am here to speak on the League Of
Nations" when the sheriff, accompanied
by the constable, made a flank attack
upon him. The former told him that
he was arrested. They left the hall
and although Mr.. Lundeen accompanied
them willingly, the constable hit him a
vicious blow in the face AS soon as
they arrived at the station, Mr.. Lundeen
was forced in refrigerator car of an.
outgoing freight train. The speaker
stated that if he had been kept in there
for a half hour longer he would not be
addressing the gathering at Turner Hall.
He assured his hearers that he would
be back in Ortonvilfe soon. Hoodlums
officers will soon know how to respect
the constitutional rights of American
citizens. In passing, Mr.. Lundeen men,
toned that the World War Veterans of
Minneapolis, $500 strong, had unani-
mously voted him their support He has
been made an honorary member of
Their organization
The speaker referred to the. outcome
of the election last fall when President
| Wilson asked the people to give his
policy their Endorsement. The answer
was the election Of a republican senate
and house. This shows sufficiently that
1.-THE American people in their majority
| do not approve Of the League Of Nations
as it has been adopted by the Paris CO.
| ference, he said To show further the
reliability Of the presidents statements
on this and other matters, Mr.. Lundeen
quoted several statements he made
shortly before we declared war. In
February, 1917, Mr.. Wilson declared,
"The American people do not desire
war; and only two months later he
asked congress to declare war upon
Germany. Mr.. Lundeen also quoted
statements of other presidents warning
the American people against alliances
with foreign powers, in support of his
I.contention that we should not enter the
League Of Nations in it's present form.
In conclusion. Mr.. Lundeen said that
even if 1--WE have not muchgold, we have
a lot Of determination to keep up this
fight They would not rest, he said,
until the League is put to sleep FOR good,
lat least as far as the United States is
concerned.

chairman Of the meeting and in a few in
Introductory remarks introduced Albert
Steinhauser as the first speaker After
calling the attention of the audience to
the strenuous and epoch-making time
in which we are living, Mr.. Steinhauser
stated that we should be thankful for the
privilege Of witnessing the different
steps, even though it is necessary. to
undergo hardships and priyations.
Newspaper Reports Unreliable.
The speaker also referred to the
unreliability Of newspaper reports gen
orally about condi tions and events trans
plTlng in this country and. abroad. AS
an instance, he cited the deplorable shoot
ling Of soldiers during the Armistice Day
parade at Centralia, Wash, recently,
which was laid at the door of the /. w.
VS. Later reports seem to indicate
that the !. W w. Hall at Centralia was
attacked by Would-be patriots, which
unprovoked attack caused the shooting
as a result Of which four men in the par
ade We're killed. In this connection Mr..
Steinhauser also referred to the Mexican
tangle and stated that the reports con-
tanned in our daily press relative to con-
ditions in that country should be taken
