remedy for unrest was prescribed by
>Vice President Marshall in his key
note address today before the State
Democratic Convention. He also urged
Jail sentences for profiteers and in
creased production to relieve the high
cost of living.
II hold that the Democratic doc

men and of special privileges to none
will meet all the angry and irrecon-
ciIed views Of today" said Mr.. Marsh
all.
The Vice President also expressed
that President Wilson and the Senate
would reconcile their differences over
the peace treaty and that it would be
ratified; but said no man should be
read out of the Democratic party be-
cause of his opinion on the League
of Nations.
"This was, as l understand it," the
Vice President said, "an American
war. The peace should be an Ameri-
can peace The war could not have
been fought successfully as either a
Democratic OF Republican war. The
peace can not bring that real peace
which the American people want if
it be made either as a Democratic or
Republican peace.
81 still hope that the President and
the Senate will reach an accord upon
such terms as will enable the treaty
to be ratified and de iure peace to
be made with the government of Ger
many, .but as I grant to no man the
right to read me out of the Demo-
cratic party nor to say to me that |
can not stand upon its platform, adj
vocate the election OF its candidates
and vote for them, I, myself, will not
say to any man that his views upon
the League Of Nations inevitably
place him without the Democratic
fold"
