Show 1WW0 HEAR WIiI TABMACLE INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY AWAITS APPROVAL OF PACT, MI SAYS Immense Gathering Listens Attentively to Address in Great Auditorium; Thousands Turned Away PRESIDENT WILSON Inst night carried his message in behalf of the league of nations to the greatest throng which the tabernacle tab-ernacle has ever held. Fifteen thousand persons heard the president. presi-dent. More than that number were turned away from the doors. Crowded and uncomfortable as they 'were, the immense gathering gath-ering by their attention and applause gave overwhelming evidence that a vast majority of them agreed with what the president had to say about the covenant. They interrupted him time and again villi hand clappings' they shouted favorable answers to his questions, and demonstrated at every climax which the president reached in the course of his address that they wish to see the ratification of the treaty and J the league of nations. OVATION GREETS APPEARANCE. A five-minute ovation of the standing, cheering, shouting crowd greeted the president on his appearance on the tabernacle rostrum. After considerable' effort quiet was obtained, and President Ileber J. Grant of the L. D. S. church delivered the invocation. Governor Bamberger introduced , the president with a single sentence, and when the nation's executive rose to his feet another ovation, almost as great in volume, greeted his second appearance. Mrs. Wilson, too, was called to her feet in response to the reception recep-tion given her. DWELLS ON PRINCIPAL OBJECTIONS. The president launched straightway to his subject. He dwelt for a time on the principal objections raised to tiie league of nations and said that these have been swept away, and that its opponents are now seeking to stab the league at its very heart. Reservations to the league, he said. are. to all intents anil purposes, pur-poses, equivalent to amendments. Any reservation, he declared, would mean reopening of negotiations with Germany, and when he added that no port of the world wants that the audience broke into a demonstration of applause, with shouts of no. no. no from nil parts of the hall. DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON LEAGUE. '"The triumphant establishment of the principle of democracy throughout the world awaits the ratification of the league." President Presi-dent Wilson said, and went on: "This means the establishment not only of political democracy, but of industrial democracy." The president dwelt upon the present industrial unrest and said that even in the United States there is abroad today an antagonism antag-onism to the ordered processes of government everywhere. While this unrest is assuming a menacing force, he said, the whole world is waiting for the Tinted States to ratify the treaty. ; UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TRUSTED. Here applause again inlerrupled him before he could go on to say : "The government of the United States is the only government in the world which the rest of the world trusts.'' One of the mosl. prolonged outbursts of approval of the president's words came at this point. The president's sincerity. 1he care with which he weighed his words, and the ease ' of his address made his message simple ami at the same time tremendously impressive. When he came to a consideration of the motives of the league ppponcnts he seemed to make doubly sure of the phrasing of his words. Thus, when he said point-blank: "The only serious forces hack of the opposition to the league of nations come from the same sources as those from which the pro-German propaganda proceeded before and during the war,'' the applause of the crowd was tempered tem-pered by the serious consideration of his words. President Wilson gave credit to many eminent men who have spoken in behalf of reservations and against the league of nations, but said that they were not fully informed, thut they did not know what the actual provisions of the covenant are.
