spokc here last night To splendid
audience of one thousand or more
people. consisting ~ both men and
women.
Mrs. Stewart was introduced by
Hon. ~ Clay Kaufman. and he did
\ II 10 queens taste. bringing the
house to it, feet. when he took n
crack at Morrow aud his high tax"
administration II was n great intro.
duction and wen, straight TO the
mark
Mrs. Stewart began her speech by
! rccounting to the audience some Of
her experiences at the San Francisco
convention. to which she was dele.
gate and where she seconded the
nomination Of James " Cox She
went into some Of the features ~ the
League u Nations ana explained
many Of the points 20 which the re.
publican party are so seriously object
iny and Insisted that the Republican
cam paign is made on lines % misre-
pr,scntaticn rather than education I;
that the democrats are anxious that
every man. woman and child IN the
country read and study the League
Covenant. while the Republicans are
rot only n,.rcpresrnting its contents.
/ but are afraid 90 publish b, in the
campaign handbook and the Rcpub-
lean press viii not dare print it.
She said ,ha; the Republicans were
I .nfisiinV that the League would in
volye ~ war. would cause u 10 have
To- send thousands Of our young men
l into foreign lands TO fight foreign
wars iu which We had no interests
or care. hut that no one who would
give time 10 read the Covenant could
really believe this. ard that the Re.
publicans themselves did not believ.
u was true, but were using this pro
psgandasin a vain effort to stem the
tide 81 the republicans which were
daily turning from them to the Dem
ocratic ranks. She paid a beautiful
tribute to the American soldier boys
and their part in winning the world
war, that while the Republicans insist
ed that the Democrats wanted TO
leave the STAR and Stripes and take
a new flag to be known a. the League
Of Nations flag: the real fact is that
the League Of Nations has no flag but
the blood Of the boys who gave their
lives on Flanders field.
At this point she paid a beautiful
tribute To such flag when one is TO
be made and said she would like to
take some part IN its making.
She made strong plea for Sena.
too Beckham and Judg. Ralph Gil
bert, denying that the former was
ever against the increase in the pay
Of teachers and had always encour-
aged the advancement Of the schools
Of the state and that the state capitol
could be pointed to with pride as one
Of the monuments Of his handy work
while he was Governor Of Kentucky.
She called attention TO the fact
that Mrs. Christine Bradley South.
one Of the foremost lady leaders in
the Republican party was taking a
great interest in the Republican cam.
paign and at times was bitterly at
lacking President Wilson. But she
insisted that in these attacks Mrs.
South was not sincere and quoted
from an article written by her some
time ago, when .he praised President
Wilson in the hiehes; terms and IN.
sisted that he was as great man a.
President Lincoln
She said that many Republicans
wcr, daily abandoning the sinking
ship Of Republicanism and coming to
the Democratic banner; that there are
many fine Republicans and the finer
they are the faster they flock TO the
Democratic standards. She said tina,
i WAS strange to her how any Demo
Cratic women could stay away from
the polls on Nov, End, or how any
white woman could vote the Repub-
licsn ticket.
She put Governor Morrow in a
class with Fatty" Arbuckle and
Charlie Chaplin. saying that he had
q way Of entertaining the people, but
gave no enlightment or edifcation.
She said that the record Of Harding
was about as ehangeable in Congress
as u is In the present campaign. In
Congress he was continually having
the names Of different boats chang
ed and By actually count he had
changed the names OF 732 boats and
that now she wanted him to have the
privilege Of naming one more boat,
and that one is to be the boat that
will take him up Salt river ON Nov
ember 3rd.
One % the happy and pleasant
features OF the evening Was this sing.
