Harbor Civic Club by Atty. W. 5. Van
Horne and at East Chicago Attorney
Ray Royce presided at his meeting.
He spoke st meeting at Hammond
at noon and discussing the work OF the
Republican party In Indiana. said:
NO one realizes more than I do that
the paramount questions in the minds
OF the people are national Issues, yet
a. the same time, we must not overlook
matters pertaining to state. The op-
position have made this campaign of
generalities, criticising without offer
ing a remedy.
Has any speaker OF the opposition
party told you that & Republican leg
;sIature passed a statewide prohibit
tloa measure and ratified the fea-ral
prohibition act; that It passed a state
suffrage act and ratified q national
suffrage amendment, that many Of
Secs in the Statehouse were abolished
81 a great saving OF money to the
state; that it passed a blue sky law,
q measure aimed TO protect the people
against the sale Of worthless securi-
ties that it passed a state highway
law in order to give Indiana one or
the best systems Of transportation OF
any state in the Cnion7
This is constructive legislation.
These laws may not be all that they
ought TO be. They can be improved
and is il not good common sense to
,rust the correction of any defects that
may arise 10 the party which had the
vision andsconstructive power to have
them enacted into laws?"
Other places where MI. McCray ap-
peared before the voters were Gary,
Crown Point and Lowell. He promised
budget system, efforts for lower
taxes and more money for the schools.

shreds OF the peace mask" or the

IN clear, concise and masterfulIy
logical analysis and argument he pre-
sented the league of nations as the
war league he has contended from the
beginning IL IS, and showed Great
Britain as sts supreme ruler.
WILSON'S NAME KISSED.
At one point the mention OF Presl-
dent Wilson's name drew Kisses from
the large throng This came when he
referred to the letter, signed by tho
President, Clemenceau and Lloyd
George. defining the conditions under
which England could add the vote OF
Canada TO the council OF the league.
He ripped to pieces the oft-quotsd
assertion by league proponents that
the United States will at all times
have . controlling voice IN the league
by virtue OF the supposed requirement
that all decisions Of The council must
be unanimous
He pointed out that IN a dispute
with another natiOps the voice OF the
United Sta:es would be silent in tn,

possible for the latter to throw ths
