Senator James w. Wadsworth and Rep
rcsentative Julius Kahn,r OF California.
Charles d. Hilles, president Of the
club, was toastmaster.
Senator Wadsworth, introduced as n
son-in-law Of Lincoln's secretary and
biographer, said:
"As the treaty of peace question is
decided so shall the destinies Of count
less Americans yet unborn be guided
and controlled. am confident that
they shall bo left free to choose be-
tween right and wrong in international
affairs.
Against Imposing Obligation
whenever this great issue shall be
settled | am confident that it will be
SO as not to impose on the youth Of
America for all time to come an obli-
cation automatically effective to take
part in every war that occurs. This
issue will be met by Republicans, and
Americans of the future will once more
be grateful to the Republican party.
1T is going to be decided, perhaps in
the immediate future, whether the form
OF our government is going to be pro-
foundly changed or to remain. 1t is
going to be incumbent upon the Re-
publican party to see that we remain a
representative republic. This great
party is going to show it's faith in our
institutions and show its courage in
protecting them"
Discussing the industrial situation.
Senator Wadsworth said:
NOW that the war has ceased, it is
time the government ceased to enforce
war measures in the exercise of con-
tro! of every mans business. We have
learned that the people who make a
living out Of business are the most
competent to run it.
Must Keep Railroad Going
"The transportation system of the
country must be turned back to the
owners. This great country can't live
without lines of railroad in constant
operation. No matter what force may
be used to shut down or cripple the
transportation lines, the American peo-
pie as a whole will find a way to keep
them going. This is. going to be one
Oh the greatest problems, and it will
be one of the tasks of the Republican
party to solve it.
"The longer we have high taxes the
longer will the cost of living remain
high. Another task for our great party
will be that of establishing properly
contrived budget system
Representative Kahn said: "We lack
leadership in this country to-day. We
need party leaders; men of true vision,
not mere opportunists, not men who
are determined to rule or ruin When
ever this country begins to interfere
in the boundary disputes of Europe we
throw apples of discord into the midst
of the people of our own country.

Napoleon was great lawgivcr,"
said DR.. Butler, "but for him law was
to establish and assure order upon q

was to establish and assure order upon

great combats over human ideals. Tho

has it's history to make. Wise men will
expect the old combat to be constantly
renewed. for no Utopia is in sight. We
must take sides with Napoleon or Lin
coin.
"The twentieth century Napoleon
may be Lenine or Trotzky and the
twentieth century Lincoln may be born
in some land other than ours, but the
driving forces will be the same, the
animating ideals will be the same. AS
in the nineteenth century so in the

The Womens Republican Club gave
Senator Wadsworth nm enthusiastic
greeting at their Lincoln dinner at Del
monico's. After he was introduced as
"the Republican leader Of the state" by
club, Senator Wadsworth turned his
attention to the industrial situation
and the threatened railway strike, de-
claring that the people of this nation
would not tolerate minority rule.
In concluding Senator Wadsworth
predicted that the Republican party
would again take the leadership Of the
nation. He said that in 1860 the Re-
publican party took the leadership in
the fight against disunion. IN 1896
the party took the leadership after the
financial disasters, and then asserted
that within the last five or six months
the party took the leadership and saved
the nation from "a proposition that, if
adopted, meant that Americans Of the
future would have no choice between
right and wrong in international af-
fairs, and would have robbed Congress
of all discretion in dealing with war"

This City May Become
Pure Bred Stock Center
Plan In The Making To Erect Live
Stock Sales Pavilion In
Sank Centre

There is a movement on foot for
the erection of monster live stock
sale pavilion in Sank Centre, pre-
ferably on the county fair grounds.
The increasing amount of pure
stock developed in this section makes
structure Of this sort a necessity.
If the plan goes through, Sank Cen
tire will become the sales center of
pure bred stock for radius of many
miles. Breeders can bring their
stock to the pavilion and conduct
their sales where it will be comfort
able regardless of the weather.
The pavilion idea is not a new one.
It has been developed at several
Iowa points and other centers where
pure bred stock is bred in quantity,
If the pavilion is erected it should be
a good investment for the promoters,
and will do much toward placing
this territory strictly on a. pure bred
live stock basis and will advertise
Sank Center far and wide as pure
bred stock center.
Of course the plan is in the en-
bryotic stage as yet, but the idea is
meeting with considerable favor
among the breeders, the Herald un-
derstands.

asked them to keep their lines in the
proper repair and assured them that
everything would be done by the
Northwestern people to meet the re-

Speaking of the possible delay in

The farm patrons, on their part
said that they fully appreciated the
fact that trouble on the farm lines

conditions-that they would cooper
