Pres. Wilson himself vetoed the meas
ure; he assumed that the Republican
party generally was opposed to any
sort Of league Of nations, and averse
to entering the league, and then pro-
ceeded to denounce them for this at
titude. He showed a covert dislike
for and jealousy of Senator Smoot,
whom he sought to compromise in var
ious ways. particularly for support
ing tariff measure for the protection
Of the manufacturers of dye stuffs in
this country against foreign Ger
mani competition, and charged that
this was the only legislation attempt
ed by the Republicans during the past
two years and that this was obstruct-
ed and prevented from passing by
the filibustering of himself and others
of the Democratic minority, and this
in the face of the oft-repeated claim
of the Democrats that the tariff is no
longer a political issue between the
two parties.
Senator King has been styled "the
silver-tounged orator." and certainly
he is most accomplished speaker, but
except for those minds in the audience
which were predisposed to run along
with his" it could hardly be viewed as
a convincing talk. And to the minds
of many, particularly Republicans, the
remarks of Senator Funk, with all
their plain LONELINESS, were far more
reasonable and plausible than were
the polished and studied phrases and
sentences of the Junior Senator.
We believe il would have had far
better effect if Senator King had been

address he did last night.

the prisoner before going to Waupun.
After. sentence had been passed up
on the defendant and he was taken to
