WILSON DISCREDITED

How thoroughly discroditrd President

that whenever nc tries To PRESS his

failure. 4 few days ago u" tried to

ent appeal for the nomination of
Starkwcathcr who ran against Cham
hcrlain. with the result that the latter
gained very decided victory.
And in Georgia and in the Empire
state and wherever there has been an
opportunity. il is appearing that IN :
sentiment OF his party and the people
is rapidly turning against Wilson.
When in his veto message OF tn" pcac"
resolution the passage on m" freedom
Of the sea was read. there were roars
Of laughter in the house,-and laughter
is dcadlier than the longest argument.
His advcrSarieS were aware that points
which he had emphasized in his veto
message. he had given up without
struggle in Versailles long ago. The
tone OF the message plainly showed his
trritahleness. his anger and his I'M
Shakeablc stubhorness.
That an independent attitude OF III"
American people towards the conditions
Of peace should be a stain upon .lmcri-
can honor, Is All assumptions OF such
monstrosIty. that il Is almost bcwilder-
ing in it's reckless extravaganza. and in
justice. Wilson has spoke, the people
will speak in November.
