II il an injustice that the League
should be looked at from a political
viewpoint
since the republican congress
took the reins In Washington they
have obStructed the ending Of the
war and obstruCted all other meas
ures as we'll. II the audience will
allow me 1 shall cite a few facts
from the Washington Searchlight,
publication printed in Washing
ton. This publication has been
against Pres't Wilson and has been
far from leaning towards the demo-
cratic party. However. in referring
10 Sen. Harding II calls attention 70
the 1853 quorums and roll calls
which he has sidestepped or evaded.
Ii tells Of Sen. Harding favOring the
permanent conscription bill and adds
that today the senate stands for the
lowest possible ebb Of craftsmanship
and at the bottom viii be found the
name Of W. q. Harding.
Oligarchy Candidate.
1T was through the oligarchy OF
the senate that Harding was nomt-
mated and because he would take
orders And IL was because of the
fear that Hiram Johnson and Gov.
Lowden would NO leap through the
hoop at the beck and call of the
oligarchy that Johnson and Lowden
were defeated. If tho republican
party stood on the same principle as
when II was organized in 1850 IL
would be a worthy organization. But
for the last SO years the republi-
can party has been dying and should
have been dead years ago"
