The year 1919 has been pre-eminent-

which compares favorably with the

On the demand side the motor in

out in this respect that this shortage

reports OF those foreign buyers who

ing orders and securing truck con-
tracts II is my opinion that 1920 will
see some real big increases In the
expectation dgures OF American made
trucks.
All OF this points to the vital ques-
tion-will the truck buyer find the
same condition existing In 1920 In the
truck field as the passenger car buy

There Is going to be no let-up in

ously repeated experience, should
be disposed to suggest, even to a
Boston audience that it would have
been more accurate to have said
that the senator is notorious every
where, rather than that he is famous
everywhere
'sNow, why have the people Of this
nation risen en- masse in condemna-
tion of Senator Lodge? The reason
is clear. Our people are quick to
recognize insincerity."
Reiterating that President Wilson
before returning to Paris in March,
1918, had conferred with senate and
house foreign affairs committees, and
approved league covenant changes,
Governor Cox said that Senator
Lodge formed "the base conspiracy
to stab the treaty in the back"
"But even before the president
had chance to return to Paris," the
governor continued, 'the base con-
spiracy and the Infamous round rob-
in was under way and the nefarious
pledge had been made to strangle the
treaty to death. From that dark day
until now, no means have been too
vile to employ, to traduce American
opinion and betray the confidence of
the electorate. And Lodges leader
ship was made possible only by the
vote of, Truman H. Newberry, now
under conviction in the state Of
Michigan, for having purchased his
seat in the senate.
Falsehood Like Leaves.
''Malicious falsehoods have been
scattered like autumn leaves, and
the hypocricy of Lodge, himself, is
one of the outstanding black events
in American history. In the light Of
his earlier recorded pronouncements,
he has been forced to stultify HIM
self over and over again. He has
libeled and slandered no man more
than himself. He is supporting can
