The Americans Bethel special says:
"Wrights native county turned out
5000 strong at Purdy to heai the
speaking. Wright recalled memories
Of his former residence here amid loud
applause. He made strong, ener-
gatic speech, in which he defended
himself against the charges of little
Radical sheet published at Falcon. and
pronounced the author liar, a scoun-
drel and coward, and too big cow
ard to resent it. His remarks on
Wilson's record we're loudly applaud
ed. the cheering being so great at
times that he was unable to proceed.
He demolished every position taken
by Wilson. Wilson's support was
very weak, his communistic views be-
ing considerably toned down WAS but
little spplsuded, and that coming
mainly from Greenbackers and Re
publicans. There is large Green
back vote here, and Wright will car
ry this county by 900 majority over
Wilson and Edwards, and probably
over Hawkins. Changes are being
rapidly made, and it is claimed that
the Democracy will wheel almost solid
into line for Wright.
