sembled:
We endorse the administration Of
Woodrow Wilson as president of the

party in their efforts to place them
selves in place and power.
We favor the adoption of the peace
treaty ending the great war; and the
league of nations without qualifica-
ton, and thereby becoming affiliated
with other enlightened nations in an
effort to procure universal peace.
We condemn the action of the ma
jority of the U. S. senate in play
ing politics to the detriment of the
interests of this nation and thereby
endangering the peace of the world
and the safety and happiness of our
