you ra1lying around a man who can
 fit to this jingle
 "A noble thing Is prudence and
 they are useful friends
 Who never make beginnings until
 they seo the ends:
 But give me now and then 8 man,
 and I will make him King.
 Just to take the consequences, and
 just to do the thing.
 T am glad to have an opportunity
 to publicly thank John K. King for his helPfulness in the past, as exam pie he was directly responsible for giving me an opportunity to get back of the scenes as it were to learn from ] Col. Roosevelt personally the formula for pu--ing a, soul into a corporation. It Was Q. privilege between John and l Col. Roosevelt to see them work to bring about legislation which would | effectively rap the knuckles of those i who overlooked the golden rule or gave little heed to fair play. Permit i me to make a, suggestion to you mak- i CTS of national party platforms. To ] dispel every type of unrest, and give capital and labor a fair hearing at all 1 times, let there be written a plank which will positively guarantee God i Almighty taking his place at the head | of the table Of every board of direc- i tors. The square deal mast be writ l ten into the platforms of both the l Republican and Democratic parties" l Senator James [. Watson was 1 cheered to the echo when introduced 1 by Mayor Wilson. His address con 1 sumed over an hour, most of that i period being used in harsh criticism l of the present administration of ! Woodrow Wilson, Newton D. Baker l and Postnaster General Burleson. 1 Senator Watson said:
 ! That man Lashar looks like a Re- i publican, acts like Republican, i and it cost him 5O,O00 to attend his 1 first Republican meeting
 l T come to you at an awful hour 1 a quarter of eleven. I presume most i of the men he have their own wives ! with them, so there will be no trou- 1 ble if they get home very la,e. When I came here I didn't know ] whether this was coming out party i or a going out-par.y for John T. i King, but l find to my relief that | John cant get oIt-he is fastened. My friend Hays - we call him i Billy out in Indiana-started ia poIi- 1 tics when he was in knee pants and has been at it ever since. He is a, politician with a conscience. I don't know whether you have got to that i stage in the East but we have to have that kind in Indiana. MT. Lashar said if Theodore
 Roosevelt was alive he would vote the Republican ticket next election. I want to remind my friend Lashar that MT Roosevelt may be dead, but his policies and the Republican party march on unchanged
 T am opposed to the first admin istratiOn of Woodrow Wilson because he did not represent the majority of | the American people. He was first 1 elected in a year when the RepubH- cans tried to run two men for presi- dent and neither of them got enough votes to be elected.
 | They passed the Underwood tariff l law which stiffIed industry and left i devastation in it's wake.
 'They made a miserable failure in l Mexico, and permitted our girls, bus ] mess men. property, soldiers and flag i to be outraged without a defense. This to my mind was the bIackest
 day in the history of our country. l If we had gone into Mexico and taken charge of the people the way we did or Cuba, Germany would nev- | CT have had the audaCity to launch 1 it's campaign of Kultur and attempt 1 to spread it over the earth.
 ''I am opposed to the second ad- ninistration of Woodrow Wilson be- cause he was elected on a platform of sham and hypocrisy. You all re-
 member the word He kept us out of war
 'I am opposed to the present ad- niuistration because We were too late | in making the declaration of war. 1 After we got into war we weren't 1 in it.
 1 ''On the day the armistice was sign l ed there was not a single gun of large i Callber or a single aeropIane, made in 1 America on the battlefelds, and this after 00,O0O,OOO of American 1 money had been spent.
 ''I am opposed to the president be- cause he called around him a lot of men who did not know how" | Speaking in opposition to govern ment control of railroads, Senator | Watson said: The actual increase in
 wages since the government took over the roads is $1,365 100000 and they i have not got a cent of it."
