of Speaker Champ Clark Friday

movement is about lo go forward
to completion, he arises a detain

When, however, ihe noise and
Ihe smoke of his fulniination
against the treaties in The Out

lo be about Ihe sole result of the
explosion: "It's not my way;
therefore, il can't be right."
Here's the sort of peace advo

most earnestly in peace and in
taking any step for arbitration
which will genuinely tell in favor
of peace; and I oppose these
treaties because, if unamended,
they would tell against peace and
would put us as a nation in an at
