 Congressman Lonergan afterwards went to the Arena where he made :. his third speech Of the evening
 Gov. Cox's speech at the Casino follows:
 The turn has come. The fight in my judgment is won. The old sen atorial ohgarchy has moved out of eating the second trench and give Ito you the assurance that when the third trench is reached about four or < five days before November End they will be going so fast that they will never see the fourth trench. When the President returned to America with the first draft of the Covenant of the League he asked the have to do with elternaaonai affairs to confer with him at z the White House, the. Senate Committee on For efgn Relations and the House Com mittee on Foreign Affairs. They dis fcussed the matter long and seriously lie wrote every suggestion they made down and took them back to Europe with him and said to his conferees at the peace table, These form in my Judgment the composite ideas of the rAmerlcan Congress. They will help 10 reasSure America, will hasten the hour of ratification, and I would like them was written into the Covenant them was written into the Covenant The Congress then seemed to be act ing in good faith. While President Wilson was in mid-ocean, before he set foot on the soil of France the sec ond time, the baseSt conspiracy in all the history of the human race was forming and was conSummated in the Senate of the United States A piece of paper was passed around and 39 lreacuonary senators signed it. They were afraid apparently to trust. each other and they signed the plot by writing their names pledging them selves before the League had for mally come before the Senate to strangle it to death. That conspiracv was formed by the basest conspirator in all of the history of the human race, Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa- chusetts. (Hisses at name of Lodge.) When he formed it Senator Bra nde- gee ofConnecticut signed the pledge and joined the conspiracy Senator Harding of Ohio was a party to the plot and conspiracy and signed his name. It behooves the people of Connecticut to give to Senator Bran degee an evidence of their deep- seatedsconvlction on that subject, and SenaIor brandegee deserves to stay in oonnssiisusi @aRe a whJ@heartea appeal in .Denait or Congressman Loncrgan who Is running. against Senator Brande- 1,-
 gresS@ He has been faithful and efl- cient, and above all he stands foIr- square on the subject of the T,eaeua or Nauons and the State Of Connecti- cut would honor itself by making him its representative in the upper branch H of Congress so that when the Teagne comes there for ratification, We will have a vote Aye, Aye, Ave instead oF negative vote from Connecticut
 Another charge made against the League is that it interferes with the aspirations of the Irish people. Have you heard that?
