Wilson and returned to Ely filed
with enthusiasm for the adoption of
the coveLant of the League of Ma
tions as presented by the president
Honorable Charles s. Chandler, of
the firm of Chandler & Quayle, was
Il member of the reception commit
tee and had the honor of introducing
President Wilson to the large audi
enoe that filled every available space
in the Rialto theatre. In introducing
the president, Mr.. Chandler said.
Mr.. Chandler's Introduction.
II is significant of the partisan
character of the League of Nations
question that Republican has been
selected to introduce the President.
on this occasion. The question is too
vital. not only to this country but To
humanity, to permit of any attempt
to reject the League covenant for any
merely personal or politica, reason.
No political party has declared itself
on this issue, and as a member of
the Republican party deny the right
of a few prominent senators who
chance to be Republicans, to commit
the Republican party in advance to
a policy of opposition to the League
of Nations covenant. Although ne
gotiated by Democratic administra-
tion, the covenant contains good Re-
publican doctrine. As the President
himself has recently said. its basic
principles were first promulgated BY
a Republican administration. Bat
further discussion must be left to the
President.
In this state of magnificent dis
tances and scant population 1t is sell
dom that we have an opportunity OF
meeting President. and in behalf of
the people of Nevada I desire to ex-
press our delight in greeting the
President tonight and in lending our
ears and. | hope. our hearts to his
eloquence. I desire to say also that
we are all charmed TO meet Mrs. Viii
son here tonight
My fellow citizens OF Nevada, es-
TEEN it a rare privilege to be able
TO present to you, as | now take
pleasure in doing. the President of
the United States.

The recent war was the greatest
of. all wars, not only because more
men aid nations we're engaged In it
than in any other war of history, but
also because, as a result of it, peo-
pie have seen a vision oil a different
kind of world from the world of the
past, world in which nations shall
unite for purposes OF peace and good
will as they formerly united only for
war against an armed foe. In work.
ing for the children of other nations
you will come to understand them
better and they will understand and
you more.
Your education will not be com
plete unless you learn how to be good
citizens, and the Junior Red Cross
plans to teach you simple lessons
of citizenship through its organiza-
tion and its activities. II is your
generation which must carry on the
work of our generation at home and
abroad and you cannot begin too
soon 10 train your minds and habits
for this responsibility. BY doing
what YOU can to make happier the
people of your own neighborhood,
your state, your country and also the
people OF other lands, YOU will make
yourselves happier.
