Imminent at least from February 2,

ready for war service when the United

"That the first few months after
America entered the war were extremely
critical ones for the whole allied cause,
due to the success of enemy submarines.
"That this critical situation was
made clear to the Navy Department a
few days after America entered the war
and repeatedly thereafter by cables and
letters, supported by Independent nd
vices to the government from the Amer

Hoover.
"That the Navy Department supplied
mo with no plans or policy covering our
participation in the war for three
months after our entry thereiu.
"That, having information a to the
critical situation of the Allies, the Navy
Department did not promptly assist
them, an'd thereby prolonged the war
by delaying the sending of anti-submarine
vessels, none reaching Europe

'That the Navy Department failed
to appreciate the military value of

"That the Navy Department violated

"That the departments representa

not supported, during the most critical
months of the war, either by adequate

"That the Navy Department vio

cause, we are now confronted with the
"In the first nlnce the proposal to
bring about this great change by an
umenoment to the- federal constitution,
thus coercing the will of many of the
states, violates principles of self-government
that have hitherto been con
sidered sacred, and challenges the right
and ability of the peoples of tho several
states to wisely regulate matters of. their
own concern.
"I know how readily the skillful
ndvocates of thi3 measure point to the
fast that negro suffrage was estab
lished by such an amendment. but that
amendment grew out of the Civil War,
which for four years had devastated and
convulsed the whole nation, and was
the result of a political and Nocinl crisis
that could only be dealt with in that
way. It was under the compulsion of
the clrcumstnncea attending that great
cataclysm that the right of each state
to control its- own electorate was for
the time disregarded, a right which in
all our history, both before and since
the tempest of the Civil War, has been
regarded as sacred.
"We hare reason to believe that a
majority even of the women of this state
are opposed to the ratification of this
amendment. Still more reason have we
to believe that a majority of the elec
torate of the state arc so opposed ; but
whether we are justified, or not, in this
belief, have wc not a right to demand
that a Legislature that has received no
mandate from the people on this sub

Remain "i Gootfi Story"'
Ua remains without doubt "a. good
story," but he Isn't n political force.
Ha Is sacrificing his family to editors.
correspondents, editorial writers,, joke
smiths nnd white paper manufacturers,
but not to the "peopuL? The "pccpul"'
are thinking of beer, tho high price of
iwhito beans,, bonuses, tho decay of em
pire, including Woodrow Wilson's em
pire, and William Hohonzoltern's wood-
sawing, but not or Mr. llryan's sac
rifice. Probably there arrived on the Fame
train with Mr. Bryan n negro boy from
Florida seeking- his fortune, hoping,
perhaps, to establish himself as a boot
legger or to write prescriptions for the
thirsty. History Is silent. Well, this
negro boy had exactly the same in
fluence upon the fate of tho treaty as
Mr. William Jennings Bryan did. Sena
tor Owen went to see Bryan. He didn't
go to see the negro boy, that wn3 nil the
difference.
No, it wasn't quite aH the difference
there Is a disposition to avoid Mr. Bry
an, lie is a marked man. He Is a po
litical leper. As soon he seen dining
with Mr- Anderson of the Anti-Saloon
League, who, not having enough to do
fighting booze, has tnken on n battle
with tho Catholic Church to keen his
hand in.
Mr. Bryan is a "dry." Ha is ng
grcsslvelyf unpardonnbly "dry." no Is
the kind of "dry" who doesn't keep
anvthlnsr In his cellar. He believes in
dryness the way Woodrow Wilson be
lieves In the League of Nations. Most
practical people havo n little reserva
tion of their Article X. They don't
guarantee tho territorial integrity of
their own cellars.
Bryan Keeps on Talklnx
Political nartlcs have one maxim as
the campaign approaches. It is "Shh-
shh : don't make n noise or you n scare
some of 'cm nwny." Tho Republican
bas been shh-shhing prudently ever
since Mr. Will II. Hays, nt the cost
of much carfare and the wide distribu
tion of his personal favors, achieved
"harmony." The Democratic party is
now shh-shhing on booze.
They sec the birds alighting near tne
limed twigs and "Don't make a noise or
you scare some of 'em away." They
have persuaded Governor Kdwards of
New Jersey, to shh-shh ho was making
n noise that wns likely to scare a lot of
western birds away.
But Mr. Bryan Insists upon making
a noise that will scare the eastern bird5
away. And here tbc inertia of the Urst
page, which accounts for much fame
and many mighty revolution operates
against the Democracy. When Mr.
Bryan makes a noise the first page
catches it up and echoes It over the
land.
Therefore "Shh-shh, Mr. Bryan, for
heaven's sake, don't make a noise or
you will scare em away."
Naturally any aid to Bryan who
scares the birds Is severely frowned
upon. Would you ratify the treaty to
please a man who won't join you In
shh-shhing when everybody knowj that
a large part of life, every day practical
life consists in shh-shhing?
Ratify the treaty with Bryan here
and the first pages become reverberant.
You hand this fellow a megaphone with
which to scare tome more of 'em nway.
A man who is dry is dry enough without
having Bryan's association. There are
times when even in dry territory yoU
would pray heaven to deliver you from
the indorsement of William H. Ander
son. If you arc wet you hate Bryan with
conviction. If you arc medium you
would rather talk about the weather or
the sins of the Republicans. Therefore,
Mr. Bryan is lonely. Therefore, only
Senator Owen calls upon bim. There
fore, when the Peerless One passes
through Washington the Democratic
senators lean over backward in their
zeal to put the treaty into the campaign,
where they don't want It.
