"We have received much from our

father." the speaker aald. "therefore
we wa much to the next feneration.
' How can anyone In the face of the mar
velaus advancement of the present
atand as a reactionary in the battles of

The speaker touched upon the fight
that hd been waged in his own state
for progress In government. He epoke
of the enactment of the mothers' pension
law,; of the industrial accident insurance
act, and of other enactments of elmllar
type, and he said "thevwoman of Ohio
knew what we were talking about long
before the men of the cute, . for they
were Interested In the humanitarian
things of the world, the men In the things
material. They knew, as the people
fcava learned," ha aald. "that the child
ts better off with Its mother than In a
public Institution, no matter what the
cost." i :
In his discussion ' of ' the workmen's
compensation law he switched his guns
Oregonward to aay, "I know something
of the newspapers of the country, I am
a publisher myself, and. I know there
waa but one newspaper In America
which openly opposed the workmen's
compensation act, and that newspaper
was published In Portland."
The full text of the speech follows :
Chairman, and Ladies and Gentlemen :
I deem it a great honor, and one quite
the like of which I have not known be
fore, to be presented as I have been this
sfternpon. The chairman of the meet
ing has made some reference to an hour
spent within four walls yesterday. It
Is a recollection that will always be
jeweled with many Joys In my mind, and
as this great philosopher left the hotel,
my reflection waa that God moves In
mysterious ways, and In shaping the
destiny of this man. his mandate was
that hlf communication into sense waa
to be severed with the world and that
V he was to. live, and live only, with his
great soul. What a sublime thought it
is ! What a privilege It is to live in a
community where his thought, his hopes
and his aspirations for humankind find
their way into the columns dally of a
great newspaper.
This has been a very delightful visit,
the visit to your state. I came across
the plains and then the mountains, and
when we crossed what Is known as the
Great Divide, there was a thought that
took possession of me. Dr. Goldsmith
and I were talking together at the time.
But even though he might . have made
some reference to It In audiences that
he has addressed, I must speak the sen
sation that I felt as we crossed the
Great Divide, Leaving the Mississippi
valley empire behind and looking west
ward to the mysteries of this great Pa
cific land In which you live, I could not
but feel that we had come to the turn
f the road In the civilization of the
world, that we were leaving the, old
rdar behind ua and that the almighty
had given to ua an opportunity to estab
lish a new order, the like of which civlll
satlon had never known anything about.
PEOPLE DRAWN TOGETHER
You know, as I said a while ago In
apeakina; of the almighty, he never takea
ua Into hla confidence, an4 if we will but
refect upon the great tragedies of his
tory. If we 111 but reflect upon what
for the time aeemed to be tragedlea in
our own lives, we will find hidden some
where a great compensation. When the
flood of 1913 struck the commonwealth
of Ohio, I chanced to be its governor.
Whole communities were desolated. It !
looked as Ihounh they were beyond re- I
pair, but the destruction was only that
f material things. The reward was
that the communities found their souls.
They sensed their strength. People hud
lived across the street for generationa
with only a passing acquaintance, and
during thedays of the flood rich men
and poor men, millionaires and working
people, marched aa members of the
bread line, getting their rations of bread
' and potatoes. Out of all came an entirely
J new order. Out of It came better com
munities out of It came a scheme care
fully arid scientifically engineered, and
as a reault of that, the sons of men
In the future. In the valleys ofJOtwo
that were devastated, will be held free.
The floods are checked by the hands
of genius. And now it may be that
the great reward that is to come to
the generations in the future Is. after
all. the compensation of thla unspeak

able tragedy through which we have
lived.
And then, if wa analyse that, wa will
be reminded of this, that the genius of
civilisation in the main la the service
that one generation will render and the
sacrifice that ona generation will make
for the next generation. We live in
the golden day of humanity, measured
by the past and the present It has
been rendered such by the service of
fenerations that have preceded ua-. and
t behooved us to make some great con
tribution to the generations to come.
Civilisation. If you please, Is nothing
more nor less, anyhow, than a great
relay race. I liken it to a great ath
letic event, and each generation gives
to the next generation the ball which
la to be carried on. and unless each
generation paaaes It on with greater en
thusiasm, l you please, with a mora
refreshing spirit, than the previous gen
eration, then we are goiruj Into a car
tain decay. We have received much
from our fathers. Therefore, wa owe
much to : the next generation. (Ap
plause.) SEES GREAT CHA5GZS
-As we crossed the Great Divide. 1
waa impressed not only with the beau
ties of this great country, but I waa
Impressed with the changes that are
constantly coming through the genius of
man. I could see the high tension wires.
I could sea the power that waa taken
from the waters and passed over the
mountains to serve the purposes of man.
I could see how different all of that was
from the agencies of civilization that
our fathers knew. And then I said to
myself, "How can anyone in the face of
the marvelous development In the world,'
scientific, governmental and otherwise,
how can anyone be a reactionary In
these days of intellectual awakening?"
(Applause.)
Now, It has been my special Joy to
fljrht reaction for.elght years. The Lord
has been good to me. and the force that
has always been opposed to me has
been that of reaction. I decline to be
lieve that if we were progressing in the
arts. In the sciences, In every departure
of life, that government ought to stand
still, the only non-progressive part of
all our civilization, because I believe
that hundreds and thousands of human
Intelligences are every day beating and
pounding on Mother Nature's storehouse
of mysteries, and every hour and every
day and every eek ahe is made to yield
them up. It must not have been the In
tention of the almighty that this prog
ress should be made in all things ex
cept government -
WOME5 PROGRESSIVE
In Ohio, when we began our pro
gressive fight I want to be frank, I do
not want to be invidious the women
knew what we were talking- about be
fore the men knew what we were talk
ing about (applauae). and they did for
this reason: Women In government are
more progressive than men are in gov
ernment, and they are more progressive
because they sense the fundamental dif
ference between progress and reaction,
and the difference la this I stated it
this morning ; I state it this afternoon
the difference is this: The reactionary
Is interested in the materialistic thing;
the progressive is interested in the
idealistic and in the humanitarian, and
it ts the humanitarian thing In govern
ment that holds the Interest and
claims the understanding of women.
(Applause.)
When we talked in Ohio about a
mother's pension, most men said that I
was an upUfter, but women knew what
I was talking about. Under the old
order in Ohio, when a man without
means died, his children ordinarily went
to a public Institutes and the widow
went tp work. Under the old order
that waa all right. The new order said,
'Let us preserve the homea It will he
a real contribution to society, and so-J
what it receives." Therefore, the new
order proposed that the counties should
award a pension to these mothers, that
no matter how humble the home was,
the child was better off with the mother
than It was in a public Institution, i Ap
plause.) Oh, the thousands and thousands of
homes In our state that look, upon gov
ernment with reverence, with affection,
that realize after all that the Institu
tions of a free government amount to
something and that -the phrase is not
an Idle one.
FELL OH INDIVIDUAL .
And then, when we talked about pro
tecting people in the mills and the fac
tories, when we called attention to the
fact that there will always be an aver
age of accidents but that the average
can by care be reduced, and that the old
order waa unfair, and so unjust, so
cruel, that the burden holding to the
average of accidents In the past fell
upon the individual and the new order
ssid that was not fair, that tne service
that was being rendered byg the man
that waa stricken down waa in behalf
of society and that society should bear
't and not one individual, or one rsTme
alone should bear It. when we started

women stood -behind me la the rreat

have smokeless chimneys in Ohio if It
were passed, and-. I asked them bow
many had read i bill, and I was not
able to find one that had read It But
the women of Ohio bailded the public
opinion. They buttressed what wo ware
seeking to do with their, prayer and
their labors, they spoke the gospel of
humanity 'every where, and when the
vote was taken. In both branches of the
legislature there waa not a member of
either branch that dared to vote agalnat
it (Applause.) ;
I have been told that whert the work
men's compensation law waa passed in
this state,' that someone had the ef
frontery to carry it to the people. How
proud I ate of the citizenship of Ore
gon, after knowing that every! county
sustained that righteous law. so far aa
I know and I have a considerable
acquaintance with the newspapers ofi
America. I am a publisher myself
there nevet waa but ona so-called large
newspaper fin America that ever openly
opposed the workmen's compensation
law, and, that newspaper is published
In Portland. (Applause.) j
TBOHIBITIOJT HOT ISSUE
I don't want to be misunderstood,
but oh, the false philosophy of newspa
per publishers who are unfair to their
readers. When Senator Harding's speech
of acceptance wss made, I instructed
both of my newspapers to publish every
line of it fin full, because the people of
our communities were entitled to know
what he aald. I mention that only in a
spirit of fairness. Now then, when we
come fhto this great Western country,
I find hero that there la a disposition
in the face of the greatest problems man
has ever knows anything abont, to di
vide the forces of progress, to divide
the forces of world peace by introduc
ing an extraneous question in this cam
paign, as I- see it a Question that is not
an issue n this campaign, and the
newspaper ( has become singularly dry
in Its predilections (laughter and ap
plause), and wants to know how I feel
about it. Well. I will tell them. That
Is not an issue In this campaign;
neither is slavery.. (Laughter and ap
plause.) The amendment has been writ
ten Into the constitution; the question
now is its enforcement Judge men bv
what they ; have dona In the past, if
you would lenow what they ara apt to
do In the future. (Applause.)
In 191J for the first time in the history
of Ohio the isaloons closed on Sunday by
my individual order (applause), and
if I should be elected president and
something seems to tell me I will (great
applause, the audience rising to its feet)
I will hold up my hand on the fourth
of March and In response to the words
of the chief justice . of the United
States I will: say, "I -olemnly pledge mv
aelf to support the Constitution and the
laws of the. United States." That oath
will not be violated, and every law on
the statute books and every section of
the constitution of the United States
will be enforced by me. (Applause).

you please; it was to be a haven.
The blessings of equal opportunity' the

attract to America the rugged repre
sentatives of all Europe: and here they
were to come, and they did come, setting
first in what became the states on the

history and the romance of the Alleg
hanies carried our people westward Into
"' iiuw inn great miaaie west, ana
there the Puritan, there the old Cove
nanters, there the cavallera, there the
Huguenots met for the first tiro In all
the history of Oris earth. They met on
the soil of Ohio ; they intermarried ; they
followed their beloved dead to the grave,
and the dust became the tie and America
became to them their home In fact : and
while they might have had traditional
affection for the land of their fathers.
America became their home. We be
came a composite people. It was in the
divine stfieme of. things that we should.
And I ask yau In that connection wheth
er you can't see the unfolding of it now
with the small nations of the world
striving for their own freedom with the
small nations of the world .mean ra

the world, governmental entities already
established, anxious and desirous that
they can maintain their freedom without

large armaments. Here we have in
America a composite people making the
heart of America sympathetic with what
is going on overseas. It is beyond ques
tion a part of the whole scheme of things
that the moral force of America shall
be exerted In the settlement of this great
question, and we were made a, composite

SUBTLE LIBEBTT , .'
Now what is being done In America T
Sums of money are being- expended In
the moat subtle and insidious way. The
Italian groups are approached with the
Statement that except for thla adminis
tration Flume would have gone to Italy ;
aad then paid emissaries to go to the
Cjecho-Slavs, the Jugo-Slava, and say,
Except for America Dalmatia would
have been definitely disposed of : then
they go to the Jews and say "Except for
America the question of persecution for
religious belief might have had more
consideration" : they go to the Irish and
say. "Except for America Irish freedom
would have had more attention at the
peace table;" they go to the Germans
and aay, "Except for American indemni
ty would not have been so severe."
What la the result of this? The engen
dering of racial feeling in a country made
op of a composite people. If we are to
render any real service to humanity we
must be harmonious in America, and
any group of men. any political party
which adopts deliberately the policy of
stirring up racial feeling between groups
la America ought to be ashamed of it
self. (Applause).
Now in the early days out in this
country everybody waa permitted to car
ry either a rifle or a pistol, for the rea
son that individual protection necessi
tated it; but civilisation in her steady
normal evolutionary processes brought
changes, and when you established a
county the people elected a sheriff, and
upon the sheriff waa visited the task of
seeing to the enforcement of a new law
which provided that men should not car
ry concealed weapons. Why? Because
the peace of the community In a sense
was disturbed. And then when cities
were zorrned police forces were estab
lished and ordinances were passed mak
ing the carrying or concealed weapons illegal-
HAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE
Now the nations of the world have not
progressed as have the states and the
counties of the United States, and after
years ' and years of the waste of re
source, the civilization of the world out
of breath, out of money, out of strength,
finally recognizes that the old order
won't do and that a new order must
be established. Under the old order the
divine right of kings was not challenged.
Who would think of proposing such a
thing now? Under the old order kings
and potentates could order the sons of
men into the trenches of battle over
night. They can't do it any more. Ev
ery Imperialist in Europe is opposed to
the League of Nations. Why? Because
he realizes that a world league of na
tions means a world democracy. (Ap
plause.) ,
Now. as I said this morning, when
your soldiers went overseas there was a
pledge given to the mothers and the
fathers of this state. When went to
salt water with every large Ohio unit I
said "God speed" to all our boys, and
the last f orewell to some ; when I came
back Jhe pledge in the name of our
state R8 just what you gave out here,
and that was that we were going to
fight and win this war In order to make
wars in the future impossible. (Ap
plause.) Now then, I ask you whether
we are going to keep the faith : I ask
you whether that ought to be a political
question.
TEEATT REMAINS BUTT
I am reminded, after reading a book
firlnted by our distinguished Dr. Love
oy on the Stare. I read there what Her
bert Hoover said, in which he expressed I
his regret that this subject would ever
become a political subject Now why j
was it made a political subject? Our i
suiuiers won our war in aoout is montni
time, and it has taken the United States
senate longer to conclude the treaty of
peace than it did the soldiers of the
United States to win the war. (Ap
plauae.) More than a year ago I talked with
one of the greatest perhaps the great
est spiritual leaders of this war. He
was here from Europe. He did not un
derstand the ways of America, and he
said to me: "Governor, why don't they
ratify the peace treaty? Because we
would all like to go to work in Europe,
and we -can't until every house, every
nation, in fact, is put in, order." Well,
I said ; "If you want rrio to be frank
about it. I am compelled to tell you the
, truth. They don't ratify it because there
Is a group of men there that want to
multiply the woes of mankind; they
want them to accumulate: they want
them to be at the very acute stage in
1920, In order thavlhey may be charged
against the administration In power,
and In order that they may win a pres
idential election." Well, he said: "If
they only knew the conditions overseas,
if they .only knew how civilization on
one sldo of the water can easily be af
fected by the disorders on the other side
of the water, they would stop playing
with the heartstrings of humanity ; be
cause, unless they stop this business,
there might not be a presidential elec
ting In America In 1920."
BOtSB ROBIN SIGNED
That was the thought of that great
man of God,, expressed at that time.
Long before you knew what the leaprue
was. long before It had been concluded
In Europe, a group of men In the United
States senate signed a round robin that
they were agalnat the leafrue. Why?
because tney tnougnt, it might reriect ,
some credit upon the president of the
United Stales, who chanced to be of ;
the opposition parfy. (Applause.) A!
few days ago when I started telling the
truth about campaign contributions i
someone charged me with getting a lit
tle rough, and I made the simple In
qniry, "Who is it that is complaining,
except a band of men who have fought
without feeling and without conscience
a sick mart-who could not defend him
self?" (Great applause, the audience
atanding). Now my contest in this cam
paign is with that group. I have no
quarrel with the rank and file of the
Republican party: I recognise that it
la a great organisation; it has contrib-
uiea mucn to tne glories or this repub
lic ; but I am opposed to this group, be
cause it has departed from the idealism
of Abraham Lincoln, it has departed
from the idealism of William McKlnley,
it has departed from the Idealism of
Theodore Roosevelt (applause), and it
has paid no attention whatsoever to
the rank and file of that party in nom
inating the candidate for the presidency
this year.
Now I revert to the qusetion. First of
all It was said that the Instrument waa
faulty, that It ought to be patched up
and that then it probably might be all
right. But the Lodge reservations were
contended for, the senate adjourned, they
were not adopted, and when the conven
tion assembled at Chicago nothing was
said in behalf of the Lodge reserva
tions. On the contrary, in the face" of
the most staggering responsibility that
this country has ever known anything
about the senatorial oligarchy wrote in
to the Republican platform a plank on
the subject of the League of Nations
A. you,.do. not know the meaning
of, the writer does not know the meaning
i'.?ndTno knows the meaning
of It. (Laughter.)
BOTH JOHNSON AHD TAET ,
Now what was the plank? It was
rendered aniblguoua for a very delib
erate purpose, because If ambiguous,
then all elements of leadership might
accept -it. Hiram Johnson, a great pro
gressive (scattering, applause), a man
who has rendered great service in his
own state I commend a man who
speaks plainly; whether I agree with
him or not, I respect a man who talks
in terms you can understand applause)
and that Is why I respect Hi Johnson
of California; but Johnson said "The
Slatform is all right" Now, Johnson
i against any kind of a league whatso
ever. .President Taft, who is for the
league an ex-president, said it is all
right ; and he is for this league or some
league at any rate. - And then the candi
date of the party came forward and hi
expressed his opinion. First, of all he
said he was going to make a separate
peace wTth Germany. Now let us an
alyse that just for a moment Who
made that peace with Germany? Presi
dent Wilson didn't ; Lloyd George didn't ;
the soldier boya of America stood watch
on the Rhine with . 1,000,000 splendid
fellows behind them, and while they were
there Germany signed the peace treaty.
(Applauae.) -;
. And now It ts proposed by the candi
date of reaction to scrap' that treaty,
the treaty made by our soldier boys.
"d b propoeea another treaty . with
Urermany. and then he eaya, after hav
?ti "fParate peace pact with
te1r,nny- M 1" going to turn to the
other nations of the world and establish i
Points
i. entirely new- relationaflp. j Nobody
knows what It Is : the specifications have
not even been hinted at; but X can give
you a bint as to how successful it will
be when I suggest that if we perform
the perfidious act of deserting our al
ii, how, many nations of the world!
win nave anyuung to do with us in, the
establishment of a new relationship?
Russia yes, Turkey yes: Mexico yea.
(Laughter). But America and I do not
speak unkindly of those countries
America wants to keep different com
pany, it you please. (Applause.) -
MEANING AJfBIGCOlS '
Well, then, time passed on and other
changes cams from ths reactionary
candidate. In one speech he said that
the peace pact or the covenant rather,
might be put to some use after all, and
in the same speech and I have his
literal words he said that it was abso
lutely beyond recall. Now I can't follow
these mental processea I do. not know
Just precisely what is in the mind of
the senator, but I do want to meet an
objection that - probably has been ex
pressed here, and that Is this: Some
people have said some people havs
said it sincerely, some leaders 'have
said it hypocritically that the League
of Nations would mean that our boya
could be and would be ordered over
seas every time a controversy arose In
Europe. There la not a high school bey
nor girl here but who kndws perfectly
well' that the only power to declare
war Is with the congress of the United
States. (Applause.)
The president is the commander-ln-chler
of the army and the navy, but be
can't declare war. In the face of all the
grievances that America had in April,
1917. it was necessary for the president
before we could move a step, to go Into
the congress; there he met the mem
bers of both house; there ha recited
all that had taken place, and he urged
the congress to declare war ; and there
would not have been war if the congress
had not declared it. Now then, I repeat
there can't be war without a declaration
by congress. Congress has a new mas
ter, or, rather, a new mistress now, and
ii win u inunueiy naruer tor any ae
cree of war in the future than It ever
has been in the past because the mother
heart of America knows what war Is
and knows it better than the male heart
of America ; and it seems ro rae
providential that the mothers of Amer
ica are given a vote this year, because
they will have the opportunity of saving
the civilization of the world, (Applause.)
STRENGTH IS MORAL
Now, there Is another reason why the
boys can't be ordered overseas. II any
difficulty arises which might even
threaten hostilities of any kind, the mat
ter will be brought up In the council
and there can be no action in the coun
cil at any time except by unanlmoua
vote, and America herself could veto it
by the expression of her voice; and
even then, if favorable action should be
taken, that action amounts to nothing
except to advise America of the aitua
tion. and the action again is with the
congress.
Now, the truth of the matter is that
the great strength behind this pact, the
great strength behind this agreement is

said, when that tloctrlne was enunciated,
that any act upon the part of any Eu

ritorial Integrity of a South or a Central
American country would be considered
an unfriendly act by America. We nev
er have been compelled to fire a shot

American influence and America has
accomplished In half the world, the
moral influence of the civilised powers
of the world can make possible in all

group of bankers If they are present
this question: What will happen in
America if any nation In Europe, or if
a group of nations in Europe, cannot
pay their national debt? I recognise
that big -business in America thla year
is casting its strength for reaction. It
usually does. It does not want changes
made, because It geta on very well
under the existing status quo, and it
does sot want to be routed out '
BUSINESS MUST BEHAYE
Before responding to thel aueatloa 1
ma i i inuponc, i, want to remind tne
business. Interests so-called in America
and I am a part of the business or
ganisation of America; l have my own
business: I built it out of its own
Innarda ; it haa bee) the joy of my life
the policy of the government should not
be destructive of business, but business
must behave Itself, and m business in
terests, -vested or otherwise, by any
pTeierenoes, can gam any insights, can
acquire any government underhold.

this is not true: If youvhave a pen

over here and let loose of It what la
going to happen? Just what happened
in France in the French Revolution;
Just what has happened in Russia.
Someone, when I passed over North Da
kota, said to me, ''What about Russia?"
And I replied then, and I repeat an ob
servational made this morning, because
It la vital in the contemplation of pros- j
ent conditions, "The situation in Russia j
is this : The disorder is not the result I
so much of present governmental con- I
dltiona," and I am not expressing any
sympathy with them, "but the disorder

despotism for hundreds and hundreds !
of years In Russia." (Applause) And !
I said to the farmer, if you don't cul
tivate your corn it gets full of weeds?"
And he said, "Yes. And if we don't
cultivate the practices and the princi

government in America, we are going
to develop radicalism in America.
Now my belief Is that we can avoid
radicalism by maintaining the - right
kind of governmental policies. It is
very essential that that be done. But,
Mr. Businessman, no readjustment and
one has to be made no readjustment
