That reservation was rejected You are told that under the league our boys would go to war War cannot be declared except by the congress Of the United States. Isn't it true that the League of Nations is the only proposal to bring an end to ws-r that has been made? Do you know of any other? Has the senate oligarchy" prepared another? Hadn't we better avail our selves of the only expedient that had been offered?

If there is one here want an answer to that ques- tion- Then I am going to help you. If you can't find out, it is for the reason he doesn't know himself. The 1 joy of this trip is the realization that no senate oligarchy owns me, no senate oligarchy nominated me, no senate oIi- | garchy has tied me to my front porch ! or will own me after March 4. (Baby cries in audience)
 l Don't take that baby out. Sit right down where you are. It doesn't disturb me. I'm making my fight for that baby and for the other babies.
 Pays Tribute to Colonel Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt was a great man and if he were alive today that crowd would not be in control of affairs
 tVoice in audience asks How about Hiram Johnson?')
 Hiram Johnson is great man who ] has done service for his state. I do not agree with him on national questions.
 The Monroe doctrine is hundred years old, but we haven't been com 1 pelled to fire a shot to maintain it. and l the League of Nations is only an in- 1 ternational application of the Monroe doctrine. We have greater interna- tional responsibilities than this country knows anything about
 The wet and dry" question having been brought up, Governor Cox asked:
 Stand
 T suppose you would like to know 1 how I stand on that question. Well, I'll tell you. The eighteenth amend ment is in the constitution, isn't it? l When the president of the United States takes the oath of office he l Swears to support the constitution, and l do not intend to violate my oath
 Voice in audience cries: You're all right. Jimmy
 We'll, replied Governor Cox with a smile, T won't deny that think that way myself.

 Good Word for Smith and Hayden
 Governor Cox urged the return of Senator Mark Smith to the senate and put in d good word for Congressman i Hayden.
 When the soldiers left Arizona the l hearts of their mothers were troubled as never before. The pledge was given that we wanted them to fight and win the war so there would be no more wars. There are S1,000 reasons why you should vote for the League of Nations. and every reason is a soldier sleeping in France. 1 visited the disabled sol
 
 many of them there, but their hearts are beating for progress and for hu- manity to such an extent that some Of them have come here to this meet ing today. I hope to have the oppor- tunity to give every American soldier who wants it a farm and a home in this country Your soldiers shot to < end war; you should vote to end war
