En tered War in Own Defense. Xot fur Humanity's Sake. "We owe the senate an everlasting dbt of pratitude in asking- the Amer ican people to think before signing the league of nations," declared Mrs. Raymond Robins at the republican rally, held in the auditorium last nijrht. Montaville Flowers, who followed Mrs. Robins, declared "the exact is sue of this campaign is: Shall we preserve our national soul, mother of our government, source of our char acter, strength of our success, life of all our American institutions?" Both speakers confined their argu ments against the covenant of the league of nations. Mrs. Robins de claring that It ignores the bill of rights of labor and grants no pro tection to women and children. Human Slavery Aot Treated. The covenant cannot be changed "without unanimous vote of the coun cil, said the speaker, and if unani mous vote obtained in this country "women would not yet have the fran chise. The makers of tile covenant refused to take a stand against hu man slavery. "We are standing at one of those historical hours in world history." Raid Mrs. Robins, "when people must either step forward or backward." For America to enter the league, she inferred, would be a backward step. Mrs. Robins also related Senator Harding's ideas on the need of estab lishing a public welfare department, which will look after such home sub jects as child labor, public health and the problems of women. She declared that Senator Harding wants to be the great conciliator of America and to harmonize the different elements. Mrs. ltohitiH Hard on League. Mrs. Robins spoke for an hour and dealt with a number of phases of the covenant of the league of nations, many of these points being amplified in the speech of Mr. Flowers., C. N. McArthur. representative of the third congressional district, introduced the speakers. "Whether or not we join the league of nations." said Air. Flowers, "our nation and whole social order are at this moment on the defensive. Civili zation is on the defensive. It was foolish for us to say in 1917 that we entered the war for humanity's sake. We entered the war in sheer national defense. "Today we are still fighting a de fensive battle against all of the evil forces let loose by the war which are now undermining the law and order of the world. After all. Ger many lias almost destroyed civiliza tioti. Self-control, ideals of Justice, mercy, honor and honesty these are .l!l shivering from shell shock." ,-o AT HOTKL LUNCHEON K-ubliuii Voters Vrg-ed to Stand by Tlioir Parly.
