Speeches by Dalton and

Sedaila did honor To Farmer
Dick, last night night. 1t was only 8
local celebration and yet the number
Of men in line and the torches which
lighted up the streets and sent theil
red lights far into the night, made
such an appearance as could leave
no doubt as to the way Sedalia
would go IN November.
The line of parade was formed at
the Market square promptly at
o'clock and many who were not ex-
pecting such prOmptness were left be-
hind. Still the number OF faithful
who were ON hand prompt
ly made an imposing
appearance. The line of march was
north to Main street.
East on Main to Ohio, south ON
Ohio to Fifth, east on Fifth to En-
gineer, north on Engineer to Third,
west on Third to Lamine, south on
Lamine to the court house.
Mayor Ed Stevens as grand mar
shall, led the procession followed BY
the Sedalia band, rendering martial
airs.
A carriage containing Farmer
Dick" V. P. Hart, Robt. Prigmore
and our next county attorney, W. ID.
Steele, followed after which came a
long column of men bearing torches
and banners and shouting for Stone.

parade was four blocks long. After
parading through the principal streets
the procession marched to East Sedalia
and paused at Third and Engineer
streets for few minutes while Farmer
Dick delivered short address. Here
the ranks were materially swelled by
the addition of the boys from the
shops and other East Sedalia demo-
Gratis. The main part of the parade
then began and the procession, now
swelled to fully a thousand men.
down Third to the court
house.
Standing room was at a premium at
the court house last night and to Sc
cure a seat one had to be ON hand
early. Almost as soon as the court
room was lighted people began to as
semble, and long before the process
sion returned, every available seat had
b cen taken. The platform surround
ne the speakers desk was filled with
chairs and each one was occupied. The
ladies were out in force, and their
smiles and the interest which they
take in the campaign plainly show
upon which side of the question the
homes are.
As Mr.. Dalton entered the court
room he was greeted with applause,
which was repeated when, in few
we'll chosen words he was introduced
