MOST CONFUSED ' GASFEST '
Believes There Are Men Who Perhaps

Glad to Quit United States
Senate.
JACKSON, Miss.—The peace treaty
was rejected by the senate as a result
of a "great conspiracy' 'against Presi
dent Wilson, Senator John Sharp Wil
liams declared March 26 to the Missis
sippi legislature.
Declaring the treaty debate was the
"most confused gabfest in the his
tory of the world," Senator Williams,
long known as a master of sarcasm
in senate debate, excoriated those who
helped defeat tlie league i>f nations.
"I do not see how any man who
loves his country can look with un
concern on what has just occurred,"
he said. "There was a chance for the
United States to stand at the bead of
a council of nations of the world; to
lead the universe in the pathways of
peace. The opportunity was rejected
and future historians will refer to the
last two years as the 'time of the
great conspiracy.'
"The long winded arguments in the
senate were like fiddling as Home
burned, talking with a world in chaos.
Do you blame me for saying that I
would rather be a dog and bay the
moon than to Bpend one minute in
the senate after the expiration of my
terms of office?
'The great conspiracy commenced
when the president went to Versailles
and every time news came from
Versailles that the president advo
cated or opposed something the con
spirators opposed his plans. They are
two-by-four politicians. Senator
Lodge is the head of the pjoison
squad.
squad.
"I believe that there are men who
are glad that the president is sick;
perhaps hope for hi3 death. When Mc
Kinley was shot down, when Garfield
was shot, was there a democrat but
expressed sorrow? Has any one seen
words of sympathy for the president
in any republican paper? A great man
is sick, a great mind and a great
character and they have whispered
'we've got him now.'
"Men sometimes disparage ideal
ists, but they are coarse-grained
jackasses who do so and do it be
cause they are coarse grained, but
the idealists point the way and cheer
men's souls.''
