party had meeting in McAdoo school
house, with Hon. w. j. McAdoO in the

the speakers were introduced. Hon.
VIM. Garrison, candidate for represent
alive, made rouslng speech, charming

Now, understand me, if every member
in party IS a good man, then you dc
we'll to vote the straight ticket; but as
time changes, circumstances also
change, conditions change and mel

policy or party.
