before the state Democratic Con-

trIne OF equal and Xa:: justice 10
all men and of special privileges to
none Will meet all the angry and ir-
reconciled views OF today" said Mr..
Marshall.
The Vice President also expressed
the hope that President Wilson and
the Senate would reconcile their diff
ferences over the peace treaty, and
that 1t would bo ratified: but said
no man should be read out OF the
Democratic party because of his
opinion on the league of nations.
"This was. as I understand it," the
Vicc-President said. IAN American
war. The peace should be an Amer
lean peace. The war could not have
been fought successfully as either
Democratic or Republican war. The
peace cannot bring that real peace
which the American people want IL
1t be mado either as n Democratic
or Republican peace.
SIN Hopes for Agreement.
II still hope that the President
and the Senate Will reach an ac-
cord upon such terms as will enable
the treaty to bo ratified and de

to no man the right to read mo
out Of the Democratic party nor TO
say to me that I cannot stand upon
It's platform, advocate the election
OF It's candidates and vote for them,
I. myself. will not say TO any man
that his views upon tho league Of
nations inevitably place him with
out the Democratic fold"
Vice-President Marshall said his
comments on the treaty would be
brief, for hc had no hope OF light
Ing the "cimmerian darkness which
now enyelops it," but added:
"A lifelong advocate of n resort
to courts and not to force. I gave
my unqualified Endorsement to the
altruistic views OF tho President, in
the defense of which views he has
broken his body"
Any let up In the enforcement of

visions was opposed by Mr.. Mar

party that 1t would ''merit the con-
