Mayor McHenry was wildly cheered
as he arose. He at once had his audi

forcefully plain compliments to Mayor

to protect at great sacrifices. and which
the dry forces have brought to naugbt
curing the absence of the real defend

lantly battling the enemy on Flanders
Field and in the Argonne.

He said that during the war apnar-

and the ones who yelled 1000 the
ioudest it was in reality nothing more
than the n Of 196 patriotism, which
has brought this country to chaos and
unrest. He said democracy here has
turned to autocracy; and that the au-
tocratic control Of the few has taken
from the farmer, the laborer, the pro-
fessional and middle class business
men the inalienable rights granted US
by the constitution of the United
States.
