must drive President Wilson and his dynasty from power and defeat the League of Nations as he desires it, declared Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, temporary chairman of the republi- can national convention, in his key note address here today.
 Defending the senate's opposition to the treaty of peace as a high and patriotic duty, the senator flung down this gauntlet:
 We make the issue; we ask ap- probation for what we have done. The people will now tell us what they think of MT. Wilson's league and the sacrifice of America
 While emphasizing the point that around the league must be waged the 1920 presidential campaign, and de- voting much of his speech to arraign- ment of the Wilson administration, the senator found time to lay before the delegates the stand of the repub- lica:, party on other salient problems facing the natior.-
 Brings Up Mexican ProbleIk>
 Chiss among these was Mexico. De- &ing it was time for the United ESt,tes to take a firm hand in things Mesican and end the "disgraceful yaCtTu OI IIto ldSl SSNcll yCtIS oCl- ato. Lodge urged that this country iet he Mexicans choose as their presi- Yen. some strong and upright man Inc is friendly to the United States aA d determined to establish order and poss 'eno m" real ana ''A' sup

 Silent points made by Senator 'o lei were;
 Wilson Rule Scored.
 1sr Wilson and his dynasty, his helrs and assigns. or anybody that is l ms zbody who with bent knee has serVe his purposes, must be driven iroih a l control. from all influence upon the gove-pn7ent of~+A~ Irnite. .Tb At be driven from office . a" ter. not because they arc dem-
 ts. but because Mir. Wilson stands
 "a theory of administration and !government which is not American
 The return of the democrats to power with MT. Wilson or one of his disciples still the leader and master
  vent possessed both traditions and principles, would be a long step in the direction of the autocracy for which MT. Wilson yearns and a heavy blow to the continuance ot free representa- tive government as we have always conceived and venerated it.
 MT. Wilson and the autocracy he represents, and all which those who believe in his doctrines and share his spirit represent. must be put aside and conclusively excluded from any future control. ...
 The defeat of the present admin lstration and all it means, transcends in importance every other question and all immediate and dominant is sues are bound up with it. Without that defeat every chance of the right settlement of the mighty questions before us, so sorely needed now and not later will depart
 ITO maintain law and order and a stable government where justice rules and the right of all men, high and low, rich and poor, shall be protected, we must have government of the people, duly chosen by the people, and never must there be permitted any government by single man or by group of men, or by an organ 1ZeQ minority. @ s.
 For Protective Tariff.
 Many vital economic measures and especially protective tariff legislation to guard our industries, are impos- sible with a democratic free trader of socialistfc prochvities in the White House. To accomplish such mea sures as these. we must have. as we intend \ to have. d republican president in sympathy with a republican house and senate.
 The rise of prices, the high cost of living which reach daily into every home, is the most pressing, as it is the most difficult and most essential problem which confronts us. Some of the sources of this trouble can be reached by legislation. although not all, but everything that can be effect ed by law should be done at once.
 ''Profiteering, the charging of ex- tortionate and unjustifiable prices, which is stupid as well as unlawful. are subject now to ample punitive laws. Those laws should be enforced, others if necessary added. and the offenders of both great and small should be pursued and punished.
