HUGE CROWD PRESENT AS ARIZONA
 DELEGATION IN CONGRESS PAYS
 TRIBUTE ID MEMORY OF JEFFERSON

PHOENIX. - Crush the l. w. w. bolshevik movement and support the league of nations were the thoughts which comprised the keynote of the speeches delivered at a meeting of the Jeffersonian Society of Arizona at the Y. M c. A. stadium last night, when United States Senators Mark Smith and Henry Ashurst. and Con- gressman Carl Hayden spoke in com incarceration of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, founder of the dem- ocratic party.
 The three speakers handled differ ent phases of the dual subjects and the consolidation of thought brought forth formed what was considered the very backbone of American demOc- racy, as against governmentalism which brought ruin to Germany and the wild theories which are crushing the very life out of Russia.
 Democracy of the Thomas Jefferson sort, and a government divided into three parts, legislative, executive and judiciary, were acclaimed as the only true scheme for the construction of a republic, as proven of the case in the United States. Russia. under it's present demoralizing rule. could not maintain such government as pre- sented by the bolsheviki or the soviet for any length of time with a disre- gard for the three fundamental prin- ciples set down by Jefferson and upon which the Declaration of Independ- encea is founded, was the expression of Hayden.
 Smith Confident of Future
 Senator Smith expressed himself as entertaining no fear of any faSclna- ton of the I. W. w: or the bolshevik for the American people, saying that the American people had always met every difficulty as it arose. He said he did not think it just the proper thing to give "undue publicity" to the sedi- tious organizations now in America, aid said that the people wanted rest but would rise refreshed to stamp out these organizations should they be- come an actual menace. Smith made a plea for the sale of Victory bonds, saving that it was the duty of every American now as during the war to buy bonds, even if you have to DOT row the money to do it with,' ne added
 Senator Ashurst after reviewing the accomplishments of the Demo cratic party which had elected presi- dents at 17 different elections in the long life of the party, took vigorous stand against the bolsheviki and the I. W. w., considering them one and the same seditious organization which should be crushed or driven from the land of a free people which will nave none of it. he said
