ROBINSON ASSA|LS
REPUBLICANS FOR
DEFEAT OF TREATY
Permanent Chairman Of National
Democratic Convention Makes
Stirring Address.
DENOUNCES USE OF MONEY
ny Associated Pccss to Every Evening

San Francisco. June 29.-Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, permanent chair
man Of the Democratic convention, in
his speech today assailed the Republican
party for its Chicago platform, for the
disclosures of large sums of money IN
pre-convention contests, and particularly
attacked the Republican Senator's who
fought the ratification of the peace treaty
with the League of Nations covenant
Tested by every standard to which
votes usually apply" he said, "the De-
mocratic party is entitled to victory in
the coming campaign. Comparison of the
Democratic and Republican records,
contrast of political policies and of party
leadership Just by the belief that the Re
publican party will be driven from power
in both branches of Congress and that
complete control of Congress will be res
tored To the Democratic party in the
November elections. That party has
earned the public confidence.
The Republican platform adopted at
Chicagois an amazing jumble OF antiquities
inconsistencies, evasions, misrepresenta-
tions, straddles and SANDERS Ii is deliber-
ately unfair in charging upon the Democra-
tic administration all responsibility for
military unpreparedness. Everyone knows
that the Republican party controlled
the Inauguration of President Wilson.
When the Democratic party went into
power March 4, 1918, both the army and
the navy were far below the authorized
number II criticism of the pre-war nation
al policy as To military preparedness is
justified, the censure must fall upon the
Republican party.
''The plank IN the Republican platform
respecting taxation is manifestly Insincere.
They promised no substantial relief from
the exacting tax burdens necessarily
imposed during the war. There are many
vexatious taxes that should be repealed
now that the war is over. The big joker
in that amazing document is the plank of
the Republican platform concerning prof.
teering: I'VE condemn the Democratic
administration for failure impartIally to
enforce the anti-profteering laws enacted
by the Republican party
REPUBLICANS ABSURD PRrrENsE.
'Who will be deceived by this absurd
pretense? The Republican Congress

APPEAL OF oppnEssED.
''Thc mandate may readily be made
self-sustaining. Why, then, should the
Presidents request be treated ~ auda-
cious2 The Republican party would
deny argument or assistance to Armenia
and would force protectorate on Mexico.
They are deaf to the appeal of the OPP
pressed but as always they are sensitive
to the call of wealth. They are unwilling
to incur expense or danger to protect
massacre, but they are anxious to invade
a foreign lsnd for the protection of prop
erty rights.
Great Republican leaders, including
Mr.. Lodge and MIR. Roosevelt. in public
addresses prior to the war championed
the establishment of League of Nations.
They anticipated and answered with
irresistible logic the very arguments they
now advance against the league.
''1'he plain fact is that the enemies OF
the league dictated the policy Of the
majority in the Senate and controlled the
platform declaration at Chicago, While
the league plank in the Chicago platform

of the positions of the irreconelables and
reputation of the Lodge reservations.
