MOORS ROUSES APPLAUSE

At a meeting held last night at the Union under the auspices of the Cox-Roosevelt Club of Harvard, Professor W. E. Hocking '01 and Mr. J. F. Moors '83 presented a strong plea for the League of Nations and for the Democratic Party.

The meeting was opened by R. C. Stuart Jr. '21, chairman of the Executive Committee of the club, who introduced H. R. Atkinson '21, who in turn introduced the speakers.

Professor Hocking, the first speaker, appealed to all the members of the University to vote for the Democratic Party, which had a clear conception of what it intended to do, which let the people know what it stood for, and which was an example of party integrity and party government as opposed to the wavering attitude of Harding.

Compares Wilson to Lincoln

Mr. Moors then took the floor. He said that just as Lincoln exhorted the people to carry on the work of the men who had given their last full measure of devotion in the Civil War to a just cause, we should not let the work of our soldiers in this present war be in vain. Lincoln, he said, tried the same thing in his day, and for his reward, he was shot. President Wilson has worked for the same ideals, and as a reward he has been broken down in health and frustrated by Senatorial pride. These ideals of world peace, which Wilson has worked for to long and which were first expressed by Lincoln, Harding proposes to give up as unnecessary and un-American, in order to follow the "star of petroleum."

Mr. Moors ended his talk by urging the members present to vote according to their convictions and for a government by parties.

His speech was followed by a prolonged applause which lasted three or four minutes. H. R. Atkinson then said that all men who were interested in the League could get all the literature they wanted on the subject at Thayer 6, and that new members could also enroll in the club at Thayer 6.
