SINGLE COPY 3 CENTS WILSON URGES PEOPLE NOT TO THINK OF NEXT YEAR'S CAMPAIGN President Implores Republicans to Let 1920 Presidential Campaign Alone Till Peace is Out of Way. (By International News Service) TACOMA, Sept. 13. President Wilson established a new line of battle against the opposition to the confirmation of the treaty last night in his speech at Spokane, which will probably be forced to the front during the next few days. He demanded that the 1920 national campaign be eliminated as a topic of consideration until the treaty is out of the way. "I beg of you, my Republican fellow-citizens," said the president, "that you will not allow yourselves for one moment, as I do not allow myself for one moment, as God knows my conscience, to think of the 1920 campaign while thinking of the present problem of the redemption of the world."

WOULD PUT END TO SPIRIT OF UNREST America's Ratification of Peace Treaty Should Be Unquali fied and Prompt, President Tells Spokane Audience. (By The Associated Press) SPOKANK, Wash., Kept. 12. Amer ica's acceptance of the peaeetreaty must be iiiKiiinlified, President Wilson declared bere today, if it is to end promptly the spirit of unrest throughout the world. Any change which would make the rati fication conditional, he said, would reopen the negotiations mid prolong doubt and uncertainty. Mr. Wilson said he saw no moral ob jections to interpp'tn'.io'is which would not change the meaning of the document, but added that such .'l step would be merely to say that the United States un derstands the treaty to mean what it says. The President spoke to a crowd which filled the Spokane armory, where the 4,.r)H(l seats had been distributed by lot tery, and was repeatedly cheered. Ou his way to the armory be rode through a riot of cheering and ting waving, the 4-rowds in the downtown section surging far nut 'beyond the curb.

Not one of the qualifications suggest ed to the league of nations covenant was warranted, declared the President. Un der the withdrawal clause he asserted, the nation itself would judge whether it bad performed its international obliga tions. That was a matter, be added, which never could or would be left to the judgment of any other nation. Ia effect, Mr. Wilsqn declared, the language of the covenant made the right of withdrawal unconditional. He was eheered when he asserted that as an American he was sure the United States would never fail to fulfill its obligations. SENATOR JOHNSON CONTINUES TO FOLLOW PRESIDENT (By Associated Press.)
