help him out and give him voice"
said Senator T. II. Caraway last eve
ming at the meeting of the Mcdonald
Washington Blackburn Democratic
Club, at 2315 Massachusetts avenue.
The speaker then proceeded to give
his Interpretation of the various
parts of the undelivered speech.
Referring to Secretary Wilbur's
views on the League of Nations and
his belief that the time had passed
for effective cooperation with the
league. the speaker said: He wants
us to stay out Of the league now and
see if anything else will happen. But
no country can afford to live in the
sisterhood of nations when those
other nations are doubtful about our
moral responsibility.
IL ask the mothers of those who
fought and gave their lives in the
war if they are going to put back
into office those who made them die
in vain. Men are also sleeping in
their graves tonight because one
connected with this administration
improperly handled the funds needed
to relieve their distress. We know
the party in power is responsible for
these things.
The majority of 100000 in 1920
was laid to apathy, and the need of
going to the polls was stressed. The
American people didn't take lantern
to go TO the polls that year" he
said, and see what they got. They
got bankruptcy"
