Bases Fight on League
 Touching on the League of Nations on which he said hle ''wnole cam paign' was based, he declared:
 'Longingly our eyes were turned to Paris during the secret deliberations. With the presentation oi the covenant came our disillusionmalt. We round not union of the tree people of the world. but We found the perpetuation of the old imperialism.
 Peoples were .orgotten. hulers re- mained supreme. Progress was ple- cluded. Every existing injustice per petuated.
 Instead of a pact to prevent war we were given a league to maintain the present existing power Instead of that which would enable 1nnahity to expand and grow, to progress and to prosper we found humonity schack- led, and the world rut ;n q straight jacket, imposed for all the years to come.
 Instead of disar nnmrmt, LvsIy- where were increa5si armies. The hopes of those who had earnestly wished and ferven:ly prayed were blighted and destroyed. The 1ocu- ment represented the work of cynical old world diplomats.

 Will Fight It Out Senator Borah served notice thu, he proposed to discuss the treaty is isue in the convention and that he did not propose to compromise. He reat l article eleven of the league covenant which he declared was untouched by any of the proposed reservations but which would call for the sending ot American troops to settle European huarrels.
 "If MT. Lodge has not read article H." he continued, but misses and cat
 calls cut short the sentence and som one yelled "He's pussy-footer."
 You let our government alone shouted some one lese. I. I'm not going to leave your gov !ernor alone" replied Senator Borah :'so long as he's a candidate. We'tS Ffighting our fight upon ideals ant mot money. Therefore I am going t discuss the matters not only hen but in the convention.
 Some of the crowd seemed to re
