today. A crowd of 5000 heard John
son. The prolonged cheers which have
greeted him before were silenced in
tears last night. The senator silently
talked of the mothers who have ap-
pealed to him to help bring soldiers
back from Siberia.
Johnson's theme was Bolshevism.
which the president here urged should
be cured by the government.
"Bolshevism is bred in the hearts
OF women whose sons went to fight
Germany and who have been shot
down in Siberia" Johnson said
when men in power violate the
constitution, they become breeders of
Polshevism,' he said, asserting the
purposes of the military activity In
Russia were unknown.
Senator Borah. who was scheduled
to speak here with Johnson, was re-
called to Washington by Senator
Lodge to aid in the fight on the peace
treaty.
