ablc consideration the question Of es-
tabiishing such future relations with
our associates In the war as would
make for tho future peace Of tho
world. This. Mr.. Wilson prevented,
He went to Europe.
"He had apparently only one aim,
to be the maker OF a league Of which
he should be the head. He was de-
termined that there should be- n
iegaue OF nations then and thcre and
In order to nullify the powers Of the
senate given by tho constitution Of
the United States, no decided to make
the league an integral part OF tho
treaty OF peace with Germany. Thus
he presented to the senate. and in-

cape, In order TO have peace with
Germany. he meant to compel tho
senate to accept with It the league Of
nations.
The Republicans Of the senate.
perceiving the dangers OF tho league.
determined to resist Mr. Wilson's
demand. The American people will
never accept that alliance with for
eign nations proposed by the presi-
dent. The president meantime has
remained inflexible. He is deter
mined to have that treaty as he
brought Il back or nothing. and to
that imperious demand. tho people
will reply in tones which cannot be
misunderstood.
I'VE have stopped Mr.. Wilson's
treaty and the question goes TO the
people. In 1916. Mr.. Wilson won on
the cry that he had kept US out Of
war He now demands the approval
OF the American people for his party
and his administration on the
grounds that no has kept US out Of
peace. The league must be discussed
In every district and In every state
and we desire to have the verdict so
clearly given that no man who seeks
to represent the people In the senate.
In the house or In any place or In any
degree. can have the slightest doubt
a. to his duty.
I'VE make the issue: we ask ap-
probation for what we have done.
The people will now tell US what
they think OF Mr.. Wilson's league and
It's sacrifice Of America.
They (ths psopls). will tear aside
the veil OF words woven to blind and
deceive and como down TO the esssa-
tial and vital point-Mr. WilsoaS
plan on one side and the independ-
ence and safety OF the United States
on the other. All Americans must
Join together In their own way and
with their own arguments defeat Mr..
Wilson's league rs he desires Il.
whether amended by him or In its
pristine simplicity. -
