R. R. men HEAR HARDING
Montaville Flowers of California,
prominent as a writer and lecturer on
international questions, addressed a
Republican meeting Saturday night at
the Coliseum.
Despite the fact that considerable
business is transacted in Richmond on
Saturday nights the crowd that heard
Mr.. Flowers comfortably filled the big
building. His address was exception
ally well received.
Mr.. Flowers discussed the League
OF Nations principally. He denounced
4 as a super-governmen to which the
United States would bear the same
relation as does each of the states
comprising the American union bear
toward the federal government.
Situation Is Clear.
He said that the support the Demo
cratic party was giving to the League
Of Nations was now perfectly clear,
as 1t represents the past history and
the nature of that party. The Demo
cratic party. the speaker declared, has
always stood for tnternationalism and,
tionalism.
Mr.. Flowers asserted that the league
was neither a representative republic
nor democracy. He declared that
under the covenant the small repub-
lies Of Central America would have
the same status as the United States.
He asserted that by becoming a men,
ber of the league the United States
would surrender it's sovereignty.
The speaker lauded the Republican
standard bearers, Senator Harding
and Governor Coolidge, and asserted
their election would insure this coun-
try four years of constructive states
menship.
Says Democratic Vote, Step Back.
He declared that a vote for the Dem
ocratic candidates meant a step into
the night, and a continuance of the do
mination of Woodrow Wilson; it
would mean the surrender of our
present form of government to become
a subordinate state to a super-govern-
ment, and an Endorsement of the spirit
of revolt which has been rocking the
foundations of the republic.
Major Paul Comstock, Republican
county chairman, and Karl Meyers,
chairman of the speakers bureau, pre-
sided over the meeting. Mr.. Flowers
was introduced by Judge William A.
Bond. l.ssss-stasssssNsts H.
