President Wilson's MessageJackson Day Dinner

1*7 D»»r Mr. ChUrmin:It li wllh kMOMl r«|r«t (tat

I find that I mb to be deprived of. the pleasure Mid privilege of Join¬

ing you and tbe uthel loyal Demo¬crat* vbo are to assemble tonightto. celebrate Jackson l>ay and re-new their rovi of fidelity Ho thegreat principle* of our party, theprinciples which must now fulfillthe hopes not only of our ownpeople but of the world.The United States enjoyed tl>e

spiritual leadership ef the worlduntil the Senate of the UnitedStates failed to ratify the treatyby which the belligerent nationssought to efTect the settlements forwhich they had fought throughoutthe war. It la Inconceivable thatat thl» supreme crisis and finalturning point In the Internationalrelations of the whole world,when tbe results of the great war

are by no means determined andare still questionable and depend¬ent upon events which no mancan foresee or count upon, theUnited States should withdrawfrom the concert of progressiveand enlightened nations by whichGermany was defeated and allaltnllar governments (If the worldbe so unhappy as to contain any)warned of the certain consequ¬ences of any attempt of a likeIniquity, and yet that is the effectof the course the Senate of theUnited Statea has taken with re¬

gard to the treaty of Versailles.Uermasiy Is Beatea.

Germany Is beaten, but we arestill at war with her, and the oldstsgs is reset for a repetition ofthe old plot. It Is now ready forthe resumption of the old offen¬sive and defensive alliances whichmade settled peace impossible. ItIs now open again to every aortof in-trlgue. The old spies are

free to resume their formerabominable activities. They are

again at. liberty to make it im¬possible for government* to besure what miachief is being work¬ed among their own people, whatinternal disorders are being fo¬mented. Without the covenant ofthe League of Nations there maybe as many secret treaties »»

ever to destroy the confidence ofgovernments in each other andtheir validity cannot be question¬ed.None of the objects we pro¬

fessed to be flght Ing for lia* beensecured or can be made certainof without this nation's ratifica¬tion of the treaty and Its entryInto the covenant. This nationentered the great war to vindicateIts own rights and to protect anilpreserve free government. Itwent Into the war to see itthrough to the end, and the endhas not yet come. It went Intotl)o war to make an end ofmilitarism, to furnish guaranteesto weak nations, and to make a

Just and lasting peace. It en¬

tered it with noble enthusiasms.Five of the leading belligerentshave accepted the treaty andformal ratifications will soon beexchanged. The question iswhether this country will enterand enter whole-heartedly? Ifit does not do so, the UnitedStatea-and Germaqy will play a

lone hand In the world. Themaintenance of the peace of theworld and the effective executionof the treaty depend upon thewhole-hearted participation ofthe United States. I am not stat¬ing It as a matter of power. Thepoint Is that the United States isthe only nation which has suffi¬cient moral force with the rest ofthe world to guarantee the sub¬stitution of discussion for war.

- If we keep out of this agreement,if we do not give our guarantees,then another attempt will bemade to crush the irew nationsof Europe.

Not Deelatow ef Natlea.I do not believe that this is

what the people of this countywish or will be satisfied with,personally, I do not, accept theaction of -lfee Senate of. the ,

United 8tates as the decision of. the nation.- I have asserted from

the first that the -overwhelming

majority of tha people of thlacountry deaire tha r»U#o»U*» o*the treaty, and my liupreaala* tothat effect bu re«o«Uy «>¦-

firmed by the unmUl»k»lil«deuce of public opinion givenduring my vlalt to aaventaan ofthe iltatee.

I have endeavored to make it

plain that If the Senate wialiea to¦ay what the undoubted meaningof the league la. I ehall have no

objection. There can be no re»-

aonable objection to Interpreta¬tions accompanying tha act ofratification Itself. But when thatreaty la acted upon. 1 muat knowwhether It meana that wa haveratified or rejected It. We can¬

not rewrite thla treaty. We muattake it without changea whichalter Ita meaning, or leava It. andthan, after the real of the worldhaa signed It. we muat face theunthinkable taak of making an¬

other and aeparate kind of treatywith Germany. But no more aa-

aertlona with regard to the wiahand opinion of the country ara

credited.Wtali Saasblt lane.

If there la any doubt aa to whatthe people of the country think on

thla vital matter, the clear andalngle way out la to aubmit It fordetermlntion at the next elec¬tion to the voters of the nation,to give the next election the formof a great and solemn referen¬dum, a referendum as to thepart the United States Is to playIn completing the settlements ofthe war and in the prevention Inthe future of such outrages as

Germany attempted to perpetrate.We have no more moral right torefuse now to take part In the ex¬

ecution and administration ofthose setlements than we had torefuse to take part in the fightingof the last few weeks of the war

which brought victory and madeIt possible to dictate to Germanywhat the settlements should be.Our fidelity to our ussoclatea Inthe war Is in question, and thewhole future of mankind. It willbe heartening to the whole worldto know the attitude and pur¬pose of the people of the UnitedStates.

. ^1 J spoke Just now of the spir¬itual leadership of th2 UnitedStates, thinking of internationalaffair* But there Is anothsrspiritual leadership which Is opento us and which we can asauma.The world has been made safefor democracy, but democracy hasnot been finally vindicated. Allsorts of crimes are being com¬mitted In ita name; aU aorta ofpreposterous perversions of Itsdoctrines and practices are beingattempted. This, In my Judgment.Is to be the great prlvlllga oftha democracy of the UnitedStates to show that It can leadthe way In the solution of thegreat social and industrial prob¬lems of our time, and lead theway to happy settled order ofUfa as well aa to political liberty.The program for thla achievementwe must attempt to formulate*and In carrying It out we shalldo more than can be done In anyother way to sweep out of exist¬ence the tyrannous and arbitraryforms of power which are now

masquerading under the name ofpopular government.

WIIms Mil Us4*r.However much opinion may be dl

vldcd on the question of ths treatyand making It the paramount Issue Inth* political campaign thla year, therecan be no two opinions as to who Istoday the undisputed leader of theDemocratic party. It la PresidentWoodrow Wilson.The famous Jackson Day rally, with

Its twin dinners, has coma and gone,and politicians remaining in the Capi¬tal today are blinking their eyes overthe complete domination of theparly's leader* by the Wllaon Influ¬ence. His name acted like magicamong them. Those who had claimedthe President was losing his hold onthe party have had to revise theiropinions, and those who believed an¬other leader was about to step In andassume the practical command of theDemocratic cohorts have anotherthought. Wilion still has front placeIn the saddle of his party, and thereins are In his hands. Nor did he.In his message to th* meeting* lastnight, show any Inclination to turnthem over to any other.

¦ryaa "Stampede" Mlaaiag.William Jennings Bryan, many

thought, would sound the party "key¬note" and stampede the rally to hisside. But though Bryan's tongueheld the sliver ring as of old. hiseloquence did 'not bring about astampede.The reception given Bryan by the

members of his party, gathered onJackson Day her* and In holidaymood, was not up to Impartial ex¬pectation. It was not exactly cold,but neither was it fllled with per-fervld enthusiasm. Former Speakerof the House Champ Clark got a big¬ger hand when he appeared at theNew Wlllard, after his speech at theWashington Hotel; and the applausehe evoked during hla speech wasmore spontaneousAt one time nryan was actually

heckled, presumably by his own po¬litical kin, since none but Democrat*were Invited to the feast. , At fhemoment when the Commoner turnedthe corner of Ms speech and aald hemust say something more, even atthe risk of being unpopular, severalvoices raised an upcry at the southend of the hall.

SkMt Far Piwileat."Sick by the President:" some one

ahouted loudly, and others took upthe cry.

"Stick by the President!"Bryan for a moment was silenced.

He turned and faced the part of thehall whence had come the Interrup¬tion. Those sitting near him saw hlajaws clench and his eyas blase for amoment with more than their usualfir*.

"If the gentlemen whft raised theirvoices can guarantee," he said withsome feeling, "that the country willvote the same as those at this meet¬ing might vote, 1 will hush. Other¬wise I will proceed."

It was only an incident, a very mi¬nor Incident, but It showed thetemper of the crowd. It was a Wllaoncrowd, and it was a Wilson night, Justas It had been a Wllaon day.The consequences of the clash be¬

tween President Wilson and WilliamJennings Bryan cannot be estimatednow. This will require time. It may,and is expected to, Influence theDemocratic National Convention,which will meet In San FranciscoJune 28. But it will not rreatlychange tha course of the campaignproper.the fight between Democratsand Republicans from their respectiveconventions to the November elec¬tions.

PERSHING 1920 BOOMBROUGHT TO CAPITAL

Mark W. Woods Declares CountryWants Business Man Like

A. EL F. Chief.

A rest life-sised Presidential boomcame to town today before the shout¬ing: and the tumult of the Jacksonbay dinner died sway. It was aJohn J. Pershing boom and It waibrought by Mark W. Woods chair¬man of the Nebraska I'ershln^ torPresident Club. Mr. Woods wis ac¬companied by George J. Woodt andFrank II. Woods, also of Lincoln.

Asserting that tjenersj Pershtngwill be put forward as America'sleader snd a r«sl business man, Mr.Woods said the West is already wildabout Pershing and' the sentimentwill be just as strong In the Kastwithin a short while.Americap 1-egion posts In every

place General Pershing hss visitedon his present triumphant tour arefor tha commander of the A. K. F.,and tha women of the country aralining up for his candidacy, despitethe fact that General Pershing hassteadfastly discouraged support, Mr.Woods said."Nebraska's delegation to the Re¬

publican National convention will beInstructed for General Pershing."Mr. Woods said. "Our only fear nowis that the other candidates willwithdraw in Nebraska. We ara anx¬ious to have them stay In for thePresldentlsl preferential primariesjust to demonstrate how overwhelm¬ingly the rank and flle are for Gen¬eral Perahlng."Woods said that General Perahing'a

conduct of the great business enter*prise of war demonstrated that he Isa real business man, and a businessman is needed in the White House.
