It. n netl, who presided at tlit meeting. In the opening address Mr. Jurlch .iM'elt upon the fact that tin* league would prevent Mar. st least to some extent, and for this reason it should or adopt! d. He sai.l tliat in no sens, could it be claimed mat it Mould w'ork an Injury upon tin American people, and that the claim made as to tins na tion surrendering its sovi-ri Ignty m i - entirely without foundation: that :t was not a document In favor of one country or against another, but a do< - unjent with a purpose of maintaining, hj fat as possible, the peace of the ] whole world, and that If it saved the j life of one soldb r ll won worth it* weight in gold. In Mr. Lockhart'* t-ply lv took the position that America would be going Into something that would be of no benefit, but would land the country In trouble. He pointed out that America has stood alor.e for so many years it ran do so for Just as many more years, and that the country should remain out of the league as It Is and attend to her own affairs. The speaker read ar- i tides 1, 2, 3 ar.d 5 hurriedly. Then In Jumped to article ID and hack lo articlc 10, but owing to the limited time and the fact that much of tills had been covered In Ills talk before getting down to the document he did not discuss the different articles. Mr. Jurtch then followed mid said that he was sorry that Mr. 1.00 It hart •lid not give some reason why the league of Nations should not bo adopt ed, Instead of being eontt nt to tell the people to keep out and mind their own affair*.

The speaker pointed out that Mr Lockhait and Mr. Chandler, one of Mr. Lockhart's running mates for the as sembly. had voted in favor of that res olution. Thia brought applause and laughter from the large audience. Mr Jurich then took a newspaper ar.il rend from It in quoting a speech delivered by Mr. Chandler at Keno while iutro duclng President Wilson at the time the nation's chief executive was tour ing the country and speaking in favor of the adoption of the league plan. In this introduction Mr. Chandler Is quot • d as strongly favoring the league and sect citing w’hat lie th-'-n termed a few partisan republicans for opposing a • locumi nt. on political grounds, which should b- above politics and should he adopted In the best Interests of all the wi rid Mr. Lockhart, in cloving, said that the r< solution quoted by Mr. Jurich was voted on In February and iliat the document under cor.sid*-ratlon was not brought back from iCurope until June of th>- same year, out nidile no refer • nee to the speech of his running mate endorsing it after the president had brought It back and was publicly speaking for It. While the debate was most Interest ing it cannot be said that many came ■ iway feeling that they hid a thor ough understanding of the great ques tion. and to many it appear -d like tip riddle. ‘Why is a mouse wl-en it spins?"
