GORE, WALSH AND REED
LAUNCH LEAGUE ATTACK
Massachusetts, Senator Declares
Plan ''Has Sting of Death for
Z Political Parties"

BOSTON. November 27.-The league
of nations was attacked at an Ameri-
ca first meeting in Mechanics Hall
last night by United States Senators
Walsh of Massachusetts, Reed of Mis-
souri, and Gore. Of Oklahoma, and by
Gov. John H. Bartlett of New Hamp-
shire.
Senator Walsh said the league of ma
tons was dead and added that cit has
the sting and poison Of death in it for
public men. for political parties or for
the country that touches it,
Senator Reed hailed the recent cleo
ton as pronouncing the decision of
the United States to remain out Of
the league. THE great and. solemn
referendum has been held" he said,
land the people refuse to haul down
the American flag. The voters decided
that they preferred the policies of
George Washington to, the policies Of
a distinguished gentleman whom re-
spect so much that I will not name
him. Let the verdict be obeyed by
all men and let them obey it as it was
registered"
Senator Gore said that I'VE come to
this birthplace of freedom to celebrate
the rebirth Of American liberty. Per-;
-haps ought to say we come to bury
it. This election Is Americas first
answer to the challenge Of interna-
.tionalism and of autocracy. The re-
suits are reassuring."
Il do not know whenever our coun-
try. through God may be called upon
to do another job said Gov. Bartlett.
but am thankful that she is free to
do whatever God Almighty tells US to
