are not en- the alert There is toe
much strife going on in the Demo
cratic ranks. and there is the danger
Of over-confidence. The Republicans
have defeated the Democrats in Ok
lahoma a few times, but the Demo
Gratis have defeated themselves many
times
Every white woman in oklahoma
has TO support the Democratic ticket
TO keep the state white" said the
speaker
The answer was volume of applause
which swept through the hall and
lasted for five minutes.
The League of Nations
'One of the greatest issues con-
fronting the nation today, continued
Mrs. Van Leuven. lis the League
of Nations. The situation in the
Republican party today, relative to
the league, that has developed during
the past two weeks is very amusing
The Root Document
Harding has been, and is. repud!at-
ing everything that the league con-
tains as he bellows forth from his
front porch. He told Of a substitute
the Root document-which Senator
Root had gone over to Europe of pre-
pare and would present upon his re-
turn. And now Roct has returned
from Europe
Mr.. Root, who is one of the most
eminent jurists in the world tells
the people Of the United States that
he found he had no chance to de-
wise substitute, because the League
of Nations is the only practical sys-
TEN which will bring about a unison
Of nations for the peace of the world
and the progress Of humanity He
found in Europe that the league is
the only instrument from which he
could obtain provisions for his pro
posed substitute.
The JeffersOnian Clubs
Mrs. Van Leuven then told of some
'Jeffersonian Clubs" which had gone
on record as being against the League
of Nations. She characterized these
organizations as a joke and inconsist-
ent, after she proved that Thomas
jefferson, the man after whom the
clubs are named, had declared himself
during his lifetime. as an advocate
of a union of nations similar in
practically every respect to the League
of Nations.
The Call Of Humanity
why should American men try to
fpi A Ir, ta1l o
them that we have no right to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of foreign
nations?" asked Mrs. Van Leuven.
Women have been interfering in af-
fairs of nations for a long time. We
have been and are now considering
rumnage sales, and other affairs TO
raise funds for the support OF foreign
missions. Are we not taught to Go
ye into all the world, and preach
gospels TO all nations?' Congregations
of every denomination are contribut-
ing literally 10 establish missions.
Foreign nations will get the oppor-
tunity of becoming civilized under the
rulings of the League Of Nations.
They will get the opportunities that
Christianity says are due them. It's
the business of the women Of the
United States to go wherever human
ity calls them.
God Almighty First the motto
used by Governor Cox in one Of his
recent addresses, is our motto.
Ireland and the League
Republican women speakers have
claimed that Governor Cox made q
very unwise remark when he stated
that the Irish question would be re-
ferred 10 the League Of Nations. The
speakers claim that this cannot be
done because ireland is not mentioned
in the league. All | have 10 say
about II is that the man who had
prepared the speech for the woman
TO repeat, ought to be taken out and
shot al sunrise. for a provision in
the League Of Nations provides that
cases such as Ireland's can be taken
up by reference to the league. God
loves Ireland We love Irelanc And
We went to help Ireland
In trying TO help Ireland without
becoming members Of the League Of
Nations. Il would be an unwarranted
If we spoke TO Great
Britain on the subject 1t would be
cause for the provocation Of war
in the League of Nations
will permit us to bring the subject
before England in a legal manner.
The Economic Boycott
The Republican women speakers,
who are not the authors Of their ad
dresses, but who are merely repeating
speeches made for them by some
men at Republican headquarters. do
not understand the subjects on which
they speak For instance one speaker
at Oklahoma City last week spoke
about the establishment Of an eco
nomic boycott. Unless we become
party to the League Of Nations an
economic boycott established by Us
would instigate the establishment OF
belligerent hostilities with some for
eign nations.
Protection Of Labor
The League Of Nations contains
a provision which deals with labor.
Some OF the great subjects for which
L provides are that all labor disputes
between employer and employees shall
be modiated before n board which |
will act Justly towards both sides, |
that the wages paid 10 women work.
ars shall be equal for equal work |
performed. Strikes shall be settled
before a board
II dare say that there u not one
man in this audience tonight, land /
t is true in the cases OF many audi
ances) who has read the League OF |
Nations at home some night. and |
explained It 10 the members OF his |
family That's the chief trouble with |
The majority OF our citizens They
have not read the League Of Nations
md therefore do not understand It.
md so many are misled by the Repub-
lean propaganda.
The League Is Functioning
