ticularIy Jefrerson's action that 1.-THE
whole art of government consists In the
art of being honest"
In applying this to the seating OF
Truman II. Newberry as a Senator from
Michigan, she said:
Recently a man has been seated in
the Senate of the United States by the
vote Of a scant majority whose election
was procured by the use of money and In
express defiance OF the specific provisions
of the law. The facts were so patent
the abuse and usurpation so pronounced,
If the people of the United States do not
rebuke and condignly punish those who,
knowing perfectly the circumstances,
sanctioned this crime, then We have in
deed fallen on evil days and are COM
passed round with dangers impossible OF
exaggeraton. Can the art Of govern
ment be successfully practiced by men
who so little comprehend the art Of being
hsnestf Several Of those recreant Sena-
tors are this year seeking reelection.
What are the people going to do about
ttf There Is no questioning their power
there should be little doubt as to their
treatment of servants who have proven
his faithless"
Mr.. Clifton spoke briefly, calling at
tention to the shortcomings Of the Adj
ministration.
Mr.. Bowers then launched into his talk
by declaring 1.-The birth of the Repub-
lican Administration brought no Joy, its
death will bring no sorrow and its record
will deserve no epitaph."
CHANGE" DEFINED
BY BOWERS.
"Ths Republicans have kept their prom
Use in part1cular-they have brought g
change, and you can see that change
and can feed 1t in your purses" he de-
clared. ''Now we know what normally
means"
In referring to VIII n. Hays Mr..
Bowers said, ''he has given up the at
tempt to bring about normally and
has taken up the comparatively simple
task Of reforming the morals OF the
movies"
Mr.. Bowers discussed In detail the ac-
complishments OF the Wilson Administra-
ton and declared no one has had the
temerity to suggest one of these monu-
mental achievements be stricken from the
books. He declared the Republican Con-
gress has accomplished nothing and has
explained repeatedly the few things they
have done are unsatisfactory and must
be revised. He characterized Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge as 1.-The greatest
moral traitor since Benedict Arnold"
Considerable stress was laid by Mr..
Bowers on the failure of the Congress
to enact q tariff law and declared ait
is time for them to go into a court OF
intellectual bankruptcy and apply for a
receiver"
In discussing the Newberry case, he
said the party "has taken man from
the hands Of a Michigan jury and robed
him with toga Of a Senator
SENATE SEATS
AT AUCTION.
"Seats in the Senate have been put on
the auction block" he said. IF they had
not had Newberry they could not have
packed the foreign relations committee
against the League Of Nations. New
berryism is an issue in Indiana because
two of the five men who led the fight
for Newberry in the Senate are from In
diana"
The only creditible accomplishments
of the present administration are those
in which it has followed in the foot
steps of Woodrow Wilson. he said. He
said this has been done in regard tC
Mexico. Colombia, Mesapotomia and II
the Washington conference. He called
particular attention to the fact that the
conference included a provision almost
identical with Article 10 Of the League
Of Nations in one Of Its treaties.
THE invitation to the powers to meet
In conference is merely another Jewel In
the crown Of Woodrow Wilson" he said.
Mr.. Bowers received the greatest
ovation of the evening. The crowd arose
to its feet and cheered. When the
cheering died out it was revived again
and again. Mr.. Bowers has been men
toned as a senatorial possibility.
Mr. Ralston spoke briefly In intro
dncing Mr.. Hull, referring TO the &C
compHshments Of the Editorial Associa-
ton and Of the public record Of Mr..
Hull
