OF the train away from the station
lights and rambled back to his private
car. This was only the second Walk
| Of more than one hundred yards that
he has taken since he left Washing
ton.
Hopes They'll See the Light:
President Wilson. in his recent
speeches, has seemed to be addressing
his remarks partly TO those Senator'S
who oppose the treaty. At Portland
last night he said fatty he had no
respect for some of his opponents but
with regard to others he said: L pray
God that these gentlemen who are de-
laying this thing may presently sec
it in a different light"
The Presidents train left the North
eTn Pacific lines last night and was
placed on the Southern Pacific. Pres
idcnt Wilson. strolling about the plat
form. was introduced to and chatted
a few minutes with the NorShern Pa
Cific officials who have accompanied
the train from st. Paul to take d.
rect charge of arrangements for its
safety, telegraphing their orders
ahead. These officials left the train
here.
President Wilson, in HIS ramblings
around the Portland railroad yard
was interested in Che names Of some
OF the Pullman cars. He accosted
porter and asked him for the pronun-
citation of one. The porter failed to
recognize him in the dark and did not
know until later that he had been
talking with the President.
Voices New Greed.
President Wilson uttered a new
creed today in a few short addresses
at points along the route between
Portland and San Francisco. The
President said:
rLet us, every one Of US, bind our
selves I'm a solemn league and cove
nant of our own, that we will let no
man stand in our way of leadership.
and that in leading we must not lead
along paths Of national advantage,
but along the lines of human rights
and the salvation Of the world
Demands United Action.
The creed originated last night late
in Portland, where. under the in
spiration of an audience that cheer
ed his every utterance to the echo,
the President demanded united action
in demanding that the Senate ratify
the Versailles treaty as II stands
without any amendment. that would
require the resubmission of the treaty
to the signatory powers.
Calls To Pa9iOtIe Men.
The President today was engaged
in rallying to his support. and to the
support OF the treaty, the so-called
mild reservationists' OF the United |
States Senate. 1t Is understood he
believes they will back him up when |
the fnal show down comes. and there |
will be no amendments or TeserYa-
tions adopted that will change in any |
way the actual text of the treaty so /
that it will have TO. be submitted |
again for consideration to the Paris |
conference, or TO Berlin. That was |
what the President had in mind in /
his speech last night, il was pointed 1
out today, when he said:
Il call upon those patriotic men to 1
whom have referred, apd they are
honest patriotic men, who have been
critical of the details Of the treaty. /
to forget these details and to stand 4
with me to redeem the promise of 1
the United States. Truth must al
ways be triumphant. America was
to sacrifice her all in the 4
war, and she is willing now to sac
rifice it. but not only for her own
people, but that freedom may reign /
the world"
