"crcotcst effort of Jim $ hfo' l ac-
cordmEly hcc myself to the scene of
disastor-for the Democracy. Now in
order to hear this disciple of Republi-
cauiam had to conceal myself under
ono of tho benches. Just imagine, Mr..
Editor "a fellow under bench taking
notes LIS awful but stood it like
littlo man.
His argument was poignanLhv log

rebel Ku-Klux and similar pet"
names were just redundant. Below |
