active work this fall. Last evening he addressed
four meetings. At each of these he was received
with the wormest enthusiasm. They chccred MN
as he entered the until he reached the
platform. They checred him as he stood there
bowling to them, and thel- cheered MIN wildly as
he left the room. His manly, unmistalSabc words
went home to his listeners. His earnest forcio'e
arguments held their attention throughout, except
for wild outbursts of applause at times, which
could not be restrained.

PLANTATION of the three issues before the people,
Ballot Reform, High License and Protection. and
a nastprlv and u1>eouivoca1 Administration of the
unyielding stand which the Republican party has
taken on these questions.
The Republican panty" he said is the only
party Of reform. These who want reform will
not hesitate to cast their ballots for such prln-

sweep the Democratic majority from sight
