DEMOCRATS ARE FLAYED BY
PRICHARD IN HIS KEYNOTE
SPEECH AT G.. 0. p. MEET

influence Of the misguided iudg-
ment of Woodrow Wilson. From n
Doasted claim of democrpcy. II has
pecome an international party, ia
Votlng the interests of other coun-
tfles at the expense of its own.
A political party in some re-
spects is like an individual: 1t
must be judged by the things that
90 to make up it's whole lie, and
not by a single act here and there.
A man with Il record for evil may
90 kind act now and then, but
this does not blot out the wrongs
ne mas done to society. A political
party with bad record may be
forced to do the proper thing oc-
caslonally, but that alone does not
ehltle II to public confidence.
Democratic Blunders.
The career OF the democratic
party has been a long line of UNI
broken blunders. 1t was a party
of blunders before the republican
party came into existence, and it
has been laundering along in an
way ever since. Its record
since the recent war began has
been a series of egregious and in
eAcusable blunders. Its members
in congress blundered when they
resisted the efforts of republicans
there for preparedness before we
entered the war, 1t Numbered in
its delay in getting into the war.
1t blundered after we got in. It'll

against the protest of Real Admiral
Sims. 1t Numbered in not properly
our soldiers with artil-
lery and aer0planes before they
were sent to the battlcfields OF
France. The pacifism it developed, |
especially in the war and navy de-
and the money that has
been recklessly squandered by
those departments were worse |
than blunders-they were crimes
and so on ad nauseum. To recount |
all the mistakes of that party |
which could have been and should |
have been avoided, would impose a
task not quickly performed. The |
average length of a mans life, we |
are told, IS from thirty-five to forty |
years. You would not expect me |
to consume all that time in point |
ing out the inefficiencles, incompe-
tencies and plumbers of that party, |
)r rather, the representatives of |
that party, for it must be admitted |
hat there are many good demo- |
rcas in this country who do not |
or approve of the conduct |
lere referred to any more than |
we do. 10
The League Of Nations.
one of the most important issues

coming campaign is the treaty OF
peace with Germany. 1t has, per-
laps, engaged more thought of the |
people than any other
question since the advent of the
administration. | believe
can safely say that it is the only |
reaty or covenant, so far as this
government is concerned, that was
ever planned and brought forth in
| spirit of Resentment, if not of
malice. From the date of the pres
dents second fruitless trip to
Paris, his relation to that unAmer-
can document has been peGyish,
ipiteful and vindictive. The threat
he made on the eve of his depart +
Ire for Paris, that he would so en-
wine the league covenant with the
realty of peace that the senate of

commissioners from the United

igned that document. Every ar
every objection, every pro-

maintained by him ever since. He
