must drive President Wilson and his
dynasty" from power and defeat the
League of Nations as he desires it, de-
clared Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
temporary chairman of the Republican
National Convention in his keynot.
address here today.
Defending the Senate's opposition to
the Treaty of Peace as a high and pa
triotic duty. the Senator flung down
this gauntlet:
I'VE make the ISSUE we ask appro
baton for what we have done. The
people will now tell us what they
think of Mr.. Wilson'S League of Ma
tions and the sacrifice Of America
While emphasizing the point that
around the League must be waged the
1920 Presidential campaign, and de-
voting much of his speach to arraign-
ment of the Wilson administration
the Senator found time to lay before
the delegates the stand of the Republic
can Party. on other salient problems
facing the next nation.
Chief among these was Mexico. De-
claring it was time for the United
States to take firm hand in things
Mexican and end the '.disgracesul re-
cord" of the last seven years, Senator
Lodge urged that this country let the
Mexicans choose as their president
some strong and upright man who is
friendly to the United States and de-
termined to establish order and then
lend him real and cordial support.
Mexico lies at our DOORS he de-
clared 1T is a primary duty for US
to deal with it under the Monroe doc
trine but nothing has been done and
vet we are asked to take mandate
for America
Salient points made by Senator
Lodge were9
MIR. Wilson and his dynasty his
heirs and assigns or anybody that is
his. anybody who with bent knee has
served his purpose, must be driven
from all control, from all influences
upon the Government of the United
States.
They must be driven from office
and power. not because they are DOM
ocrats, but because Mr.. Wilson stands
for theory of administration and
which is not American.
'sThe return of the Democrats tol
power with Mr.. Wilson or one of his
disciples still the leader and master of
a great party, which before his advent
possessed sboth traditions and princi-
pals. would be a long step in the direc-
ton of the autocracy for which Mr..
Wilson yearns and heavy blow TO !.
he continuance of free representative |
as we have always con-
,eived and venerated it.
MIR. Wilson and the autocracy ne
and all which those who
believe in his doctrines and share |
lis spirit represent, must be put a.
,ide and conclusively excluded from
my future control.
sThe defeat of the present admins
ration and all it means, transcends,

ire bound up with it. Without that

..To maintain law and order and |
20 h1e government where justice rules
