Wilson Contention Activities Exposed

party's main plank is an implied
threat or a declaration that II fl
is elected the United States army
Is to be sent in there to wage war
and establish n prOtectOrate. IF

gathering up your boy and mine
and using them to wage war on
Mexico, why didn't IL frankly say
EOfn he asked
The Republican party is frank
upon but one subject-that is its
hymn Of hate for the president Of
the United States. The Republican
party is deaf to the cries for help
from Armenia, but prepares to wage
war on Mexico. No Republican plu-
tocrats nor British aristocrats own
oil wells in Armenia"
At one point the chairman referred
TO Theodore Roosevelt and got some
applause from the gallery He led
up to the league of nations with the
rather unoriginaI declaration that
The Americans are sick and tired
effective and permanent"
He said the army and navy didn't
take as long TO win the war as the
senate has taken trying to end it
He referred to Republican con-
CALCULATIONS" at Chicago and 'sena-
torial procrastination" at Washing

Somebody Is Wrong.
Either the chairman or a lot Of
people at the late Chicago conven-

women are Democratic IN sympathies
and will vote that way" while the
Republican speakers insisted that the
women have all swept into the G. o.

sons to stay home and are for the
league Of nations because it will
keep them here
He was cheered Justify as he quit.
But a bigger cheer greeted the an
nouncement that If any OF the dele

After that, when somebody wanted |

through the rules committee, which !
forthwith became a perfectly good !

the chair holding that the rules COM |

various propositions for debate in |
this manner. The Iowa womau's res
