The first oration was by William p.
Hinckley and his subject, "The Independ-
ent in Politics."
In the year 1884, the Republicans of this
country nominated for president, James
g. Blaine. After that nomination those
who voted the Democratic ticket but re-
fused to ally themselves with that party
become known as Independents, and this
Glass, together with the doubtful voters,
soday hold the balance OF power in the
country.
The Independent Is not necessarily un-
identified with existing political parties,
but he must always stand ready to be. But
often ne leaves the party entirely, believ-
Ing that in so doing he can best promote
the public good. What our country needs
1s such BODY OF Independent men
who cherish first their own opinions.
principles, character and moral code.
Proud indeed may he be. who by the
exercise OF his suffrage manifests his
manhood and strong in his exalted in
penuent.
Thomas Crosby, Jr.
Thomas Crosby, Jr. of Newport wns the
next speaker. His subject was "The Ten
dency OF Modern Poetry"
The French revolution may be Justly
called the summing up of the past and
the prophecy OF the future. The idea OF
change, which had its birth in that great
struggle, was the dawn OF that scientific
movement which was to become in time
tne great governing principle of life.
science Is content to ascertain facts.
while poetry takes these facts and en-
oeavors by the aid OF the imagina-
t1on TO quicken us into
higher consciousness OF them. What
science makes n physical law, poetry
makes spiritual law. Poetry will live
then just so long as il interprets the life
Of the age.
A century ago science began TO show ma
The world. Today, with stronger power.
a has begun to show us the worlds within
the world. Again the imagination of
poetry IL stunned, but IL viii awake and
show us the infinite spiritual significance
OF every atom. The promise OF the day is
bright AS the idea gains further hold
tre imagination may lose some OF its fam
tastic license, but IL will find its true
scope In snbsorvience to truth.
