18th was formerly in the army in San
ntonio. In fact he was stationed here
bring the World War.
DR.. Landrith based his speech on the
oral duty of the United States in con-
rning itself with the problems of the
orld. He said, "0ne of these days
e American people will rise up and
~ it is not a question Of partisan
blitics whether the United States shall
bncern itself with the problems of

Says States Rights Settled.
"Sectionalism is showing itself in a

ghts," the speaker said, advocates
the states rights question should re-
