in favor of prosperity, but the Republican
party is in favor of patriotism. What We
want here is a little more patriotism and a
little less anarchy. We want to remmeber

patriotism, for protection stands for our
country and our flag"

given the greatest popular ovation he has
yet had. Thousands followed him from the

was variously estimated at from twenty

a second one In the evening. A special train
on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
