FIt is high time the voters of. this
Rupublic were allowed to take hand
in their government affairs.
We have never had an admins
l1rstion whose methods were SO full of
secrecy, duplicity, favoritism for the
lords of special privilege.
No other administration ever
= showed such fixed purpose to shut
out the people from knowledge of
what was going on behind the scenes,
and to shut them off from any real in
I ileunce over the policies of the Gov
3. ernment.
The people are now told that they
shall have no chance to vote on the
league, no right to self-determination
and opportunity to effectively an
tagcnize the men who propose to
transfer our independence to a SUI
prene council seated in Europe.
Already Wilson has bound us to
keep up an army on the Rhine for Is
years. Already he has sent America
to the Danube. Already he has sent
an army into Silesia and another into
Siberia
Already President Wilson is
spreading the American Army over
Europe and into Asia.
In the name of the Creator that
made us, when and where is this viii
sonian madness to stop?
Never before in the history of the
human race has anyone arrogated to
himself the right to revolutionize the
government OF a people, unless he
came as a foreign conqueror with
sword IL his hand.
1T is an amazing thing, monstrous
thing, an almost incredible thing, that
the President of the United States
should appoint himself minister to
European peace conference, should
leave the country and be gone seven
months, should secretly spend mil
lion dollars of the peoples money
while secretly juggling with foreign
politicians, and should then come
bringing what he calls peace treaty,
but which is in reality another govern
ment TO be imposed upon this people.
ut is the most astounding betrayal
of trust that history records.
Suppose President Wilson should
! tell you that during his private con-
ferences with the kings and capital
lists of Europe he became convinced
that the American colonists made a
huge mistake when they fought TO free
ilhemseves from European control
Suppose that he should tell you
MS Tory ktnfolk in England were
q right in opposing our Wing kinfolk in
America,
Suppose he should say that we
II must undo what our Revolutionary
II furefathers did, surrender to foreign
g control the Government they estab-
j. lisfad. and renounce the principles for
it which they sacrificed their lives!
If Suppose that he should declare
e that the most dramatic and conclusive
evidence of our sudden change OF
.e heart on this subject would be &c
make a public bonfire of the Decla1'
- alton of Independence!
Suppose he should declare that the
,y most emphatic proof we can offef
;, Europe ,of the fact that We have re
pudiate6 the tiIne-honored policy OF
:, our Government would be to let the
British publicly sarn Washington
r Farewell Address At the foot of the
J. Washington Monument!
Should Ire say such things as these
n ne WOul0 SsSaIe d VI
4 nation throughout the Union, and his
Impeachment would be demanded!
:. but his deeds since his second
jelectfon canno, be translated into any
other words.
n What he has done is immensely
o more than equivalent to the destruct-
e lion OF the document which contains
1.-THE declaration of the Farewell Ad-
= ,tixess
J. He has signed away independence
itself, he has signed away the Amer
n icanism OF the Farewell Address; he
has surrendered what our forefathers
>. gained under the shadow of Euro
1 ipean crown.
Y We. the people, are the sovereign
V i've. the people. wear the crown.
l. That crown shall pass on to the
hext generation untarnished in its
s cluster and radiant with every gem Of
: an Anglo-SaNon liberty.
+ I'VE can read our titles clear! By
the hight Of the Revolutionary camp
fires we can read our titles clear!

that is ours: but by the God that
, made Us. we will drive out the tres
passers and regain fun possession of
