TEXT OF SPEECH

Seldom has. such an opportunity for great service come to any party as now presents itself to our party. But opportunity brings responsibility Much is required of those to whom much is given. A soldier is a soldier until his day of opportunity comes-after that. he is either hero or a coward. So with the party, opportunities improved become stepping stones to success; op- portunities neglected are mill stones about the partys neck.
 'The opportunities now offered are as large as the nation and as wide as the world In this hour, when we take council together for the coming campaign. it is the duty of each mem Der of the party. as l take it, to pre- sent the situation as he sees it. with out stopping to inquire whether htA views are shared by others. N~
 "One cannot call a mass meeting to determine what to think. the theory of democracy is that all think and give expression to their thought and then conclusions are reached by com parison of views
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-01-09
ENTERING NEW ERA

Permit me- therefore, to present the more important of these opportunities as 1 sec them. The nations are enter- ing upon ne vera old systems are passing away; democracy is dawning everywhere. Our nation is the only great nation in position to furnish the moral leadership required. The nations of Europe are busy with their own problems; our people are the only ones disinterested enough to be trusted by all. and the democratic party is the party whose ideas best fit il for the task of leadership in such a work
 "A democratic President was the spokesman of the United States in hold of universal peace. and he brought back Of Nations that provides means for set ling international disputes without resort to force. He did the best he could. and succeeded better than we had any right to expect. when we remembr that he fought single-handed against the sell fish interests of the world
 "The republican party in control of the Senate instead of ratifyng at once or promptly proposing changes that it deemed necessary. has fddled whiie civil ization has been threatened with conflag- ration It could have adopted it's reservations as well five months ago as later but it permitted endless debate while suffering humanity waited.

-Four years ago, when Isolde
Menges was only twenty years old
Auer Published this statement: az
hereby have much pleasure in certify
ing that Miss Isolde Menges has with
out doubt one OF the most remarkable
talents for the violin that has ever
come under my notice"
Miss Menges then returned to Eng
land, and her first London season
was inaugurated. Not in ten years
had violinist 50 capitvated the Lon
don critics. Miss Menges has large
repertoire. She says that her fav-
orite composers are Brahams and
Bach. She has received prodigious

n the far west some seventy-five Oh
eighty thoroughbred stations, ana
hese stations have, almost without
exception, been the cheerful gifts Of
thoroughbred producers and persons
Interested In racing.
1t is because of the governments
insurmOuntable ned of thoroughbred
blood that the most distinguished
officers of the regular military service
have been so outspoken in theil
opposition to half baked legislation
that might interfere with thorough
bred production. MajorGeneral
Leonard Wood was the first officer of
high rank TO declare himself publicly
on this subject. In 1911 when
thoroughbred stations and mares by
the hundreds were being shipped .ou;
of the country because the shutting
down of racing in New York state in
consequences of the Hughes antirac-
Ing legislation of 1908 and 1910
closed the metropolitan market to
thoroughbred producers, General Wood
announced in the daily press that the
loss Of thoroughbred blood had as
sumed the proportions of national
calamity, and that if something were
not done by the government to check
the expectation of such stock and to
revive production it would be i'm
possible to properly outfit with horses
an army of the size the United States
would have to put in the field if we
came in conflict with a frst-class
power. The prophesy of General
Wood was to be abundantly fulfilled
in 1917 and 1913 as had already been
pointed out.

WILL DISMISS CASE IF !. w. W. TESTIMONY IS
 ADMITTED BY cOuR'

ADMITTED BY COURT
 TOMBSTONE, Ariz.. March 25.-
 Runners that County Attorney Rot. ert N. French had suggested in a statement to Judge Samuel Pattee, the possibility Of dismissing the kid mapping case growing out of the Bis bee deportations, against Harry E. Wootten, now on trial, this afternoon brought forth a statement from French admitting that he had eonsid- cred such action if I. W. W. evidence were permitted to go before the jury.
 Following the adjournment Of court this morning reports were circulated that French had told Judge Pattee in chambers that he would dismiss the case # matters which he considers Irrelevant is permitted to be injected into the proceedings. When asked regarding this report Mr. French was at first reluctant to discuss the mat ter in detail but authorized the fol- lowing statement:
 "Having been asked regarding a re- port that said during a conference in chambers with Judge Samuel L. Pattee that l would dismiss the kid mapping charge against Harry E. Wot- ton if l. W. W.ism was introduced in to the case, my explanation is:
 "I have spent considerable time and money in preparing this case in an effort to have 1t tried on it's mer it's without the injection of outside issues such as that relating to the I. W. W. # the defense is permitted to introduce evidence dealing with such irrelevant matters my time shall have been wasted and in such an event would feel that it would be useless to prosecute the case farthe-. so told the court in chambers today in urging my objection to the admis- sibility of such esidenee.T
 When French made his declaration to Judge Pattee in chambers the ques ton of whether the defense would be permitted to refer to the !. w. w.. question in it's opening statement was under discussion.
Tombstone epitaph., 1920-03-28

claims the right under its avowel and the courts opnion to be allowed to make it's statement to the jury that they intend to prove necessity existed in Bisbee at the time of the depor- tations as it extended to the protec- ton of the United States government, which the I. W. w. had entered into conspiracy to destroy.
 The state contends that the defense proof under the courts ruling does not extend to protection of the gov ernment. but merely as 1t affected life and property in the Warren Dis trict during the strike in 1917. anl that the court has limited the de- fense in that particular in the de- cision rendered yesterday.
 When court opened Mir. French called Judge Pattee-s attention to an article in the Bisbec Review of this morning which contained a report of the decision handed down yesterday { by the court, which MT. French claimed was absolutely incorrec'- MT. Burges for the defense replied that the newspaper reporter in talk i ing the layman's view of the decision had possibly gotten the wrong view in quoting him on the results of the | opinion. The court agreed that the report was misinterpreted. adding ] that in his long experience on ths- bench he did not allow newspaper re- ports to have any bearing on the con | duct of a case, since newspapermen ! like the average layman were not able to grasp an attorneys view of ! the proceedings.
 | Mir. Burgess assumed full respon- sibility for the report adding that when attorneys Qiffer as wldely as i the two poles on mooted legal ques- tions that newspaper reporters could not be expected to make an accurate report. The court added that he wished some way could be devised to make newspapers tell the truth. and in reply to MT. French that he be- lieved court opinions should be held sacred, deplored the fact that in this day such is not the case.
 i The matter ended without any fu-- ther action being taken by the court and court was adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning when ths defense announced witnesses who had been delayed would be here to [ testify.
Tombstone epitaph., 1920-03-28

Psttee's decision the court after con- ferring with attorneys announced he would adjourn until tomorrow morn ing at 10:00 o'clock when the defense will begin with the introduction of testimony. The defense attorneys requested the balance of the after noon in which to prepare themselves to conform with the courts ruling.
 As a result of the decision the de- fense claims complete victory on the main issue, that of being able to prove necessity for the alleged act and leave it to the jury to decide, while the state claims victory on the grounds that the defense will not be allowed to prove any I. w. W. con spiracy. nor anything connected with the L W. W. not connected up with the Warren district.
 A prominent attorney, not connect ed with the cases on either side in discussing the opinion this afternoon, however holds that the opinion is a distinct victory for the defense oh the main issues-that Of being al lowed to prove necessity withou; self-defense grounds, although the act complained of is illegal. and to leave 1t to the jury to decide, while the state is the victor on the minor issues. as to the exclusion of the I. W. ". testimony insofar as it does not connect up with the alleged ac. tivities of the organization in Bis bee.

FRIDAY

The laying of the foundation of the defense, in which the testimony con meeting up the I. W. W. with the strike and subsequent deportation from the Warren district was started by attorneys for the defense. occu- pied the entire morning in the case of the state against H. E. Wootten on trial for Kidnapping.
 When court opened this morning Fred W. Brown, complaining witness for the state. whom it is claimed Wootten kidnapped. was called by ths defense and examined for the better part of an hour by Chief Counsel Bufses as to his relationship with the I. w. w. in the Warren Distric. prior to and at the time of the de- portation on July F, 1917.
 The nature of the testimony sought to be brought out by the defense was that Brown was cognizant and in sympathy with the strike called by the I. W. W. and had called at ths l. w. W. hall two times during the strike. Transcript of testimony of Brown in the trial of wm. D. Hay. wood in Chicago was read by the de. fendant's attorney. Brown said, du-. ing the course of the defense cross examination that he had been called to Chicago to testify by A. E. Elm bree. secretary of the organisation and who had been an official in tas Bisbee local during the strike.
 On cross-examinatfon by R. N. French, state attorney. Brown was asked whether he was an I. W. W. to which he replied: ~No .Sir." and as to whether he had ever attended any meeting of- the organisation he also replied ~No-- He said that he be- Iopsed to the Retain cIerk's Union, q member of the American Fedora ton of Labor.
