We had q good Democratic meeting

believe we outnumbered them. A
proposition was talked OF for a joint dis

Democrats for the reason hat Mr.. Dow

Wilson lead off in fifty minutes, and
Smith follow in thirty minutes, and then
he have n hour to follow both, giving
Wilson twenty minutes more, and he to
