Quotes from Speech
Senator Johnson repeatedly ouoted
from the league OF nations address
which delivered on August 2S, giving
his unqualified approval to it. His
speech. with this generous endorse
ment OF the party's platform and nv
own Interpretation of it, brings no sur
prise to me. More than that, it adds
to my confidence that when we have
recorded America against the menace
which we were being let in for we
are going to be able to have America
agree on a program which shall hold
up forever free and still play our
part in expressing the new conscience
of the world"

with Webb c. Hayes, who is a son
OF former President Rutherford p.

mony. In the address prepared for

ed the heroism of the American Ex-
peditiOnary forces and asked that
their services be made an example to
American citizens in peace-time patri-
Dtism.
