Nation On- Its 'lands.
Washington, 'lay 9.-A call to the
Democratit party to go into the cam
paign standing four square in favor
of the -treaty of Versailles and against
the senate's reservations was Issued
tonight by President Wilson in a tele
gram to Oregon 'Democratic leaders
made ipublic at the White -louse.
Declaring that the party had the
lionor of the nation" in its hands, the
IPresident said that the Lodge reser
vations -were utterly "incensistent"
with that honor as well as destructive
of the rsole of world leadership whiceh
the United S-tates must assume.
The only true Americanism, the
President said was "that which- pits
America in the front with free na
tions and redeems the great promises
which we made to the world." It
would ba a violati on of such relniscs,
he said, to attach reservations to the
treaty whici'h "whittle it down or
weaken it as the -Republican" leaders
of the scnate have proposecd to do.''
ho telegrani was in response to
the Ifoll'owing message rrom 0. E.
Ilamaker, of Portland, Oregon, chair
man of the Multononah County
.pemocratic central committee:
"Primary election May twenty first.
Please wire whether you consider It
importan to nomihate candidates
pledged to ratify Versailles treaty
without Lodge reservations."
The reply of the president follows:
"I think it imperative that the
iparty should' at once proclaim itself
the uncompromising champion of the
nation' shonor and the advocate of
everything that tihe( United States can
dlo in tli service of humanity, that
it shtonld therefore endorse and snp
port the Versailles treaty and con
demni the Lodge reservations as ut
terly inconsistent with tihe nation';
honor and dst ruc'tive of the world
leadership which it had established
and which all te free peoples of the
ui, in id i g the great powers
themsel vs, had shown themtselves
lead.'y to welcoiie.
"It is time that the party should
avow that it meanals to try, wtholut
flinching or turnign at any time away
from 'Ih. patth for reasons of expe.

"The league of nations is the -hope
of the world. As a basis for the arm
istice, I was authorized by all the
great ;flghting nations to say to the
enemy that it was our object in pro
posing peace to establish a general
association of nations under specific
ccvenants for the purpose of affording
mutual guarantee., of 'political tide
Ipendence and territorial integrity to
great and small states alike, and the
covenant of the league of nations is
the deliberate ebodinent of that pur
pose in the treaty of peace.
"The chief motives which led us
to enter the war will be defeated
unless that covenant is ratifIed and
acted tupon with vigor. We cannot

it as the Republican leaders of the
senate have proposed to do if we are

"The true Americanism, the only,
