THE RATIFICATION CONTINUED
Until a Late Hour Saturday Night
at Marion Square.


the afternoon, Chairman Holmes
again welded the gavel, for three
hours more, as master of ceremonies,
Saturday night.
AS in the afternoon, solid mass of
earnest, attentive, intelligent-almost
an entirely new audience-men and
wOmen-many of them holding chill
! dTen in their arms-many who had
stood up all the long hot afternoon
now stood or sat through another ses-
sion of speaking, music and recita-
| tions. On the platform, as in the af-
ternoOn, were as many as could be
packed, while active boys climbed up
and covered the roof.
After the Second Regiment band
marched into the grounds, the chair
man introduced Lewis j. Allen, a
Marion woodchopper, who sang an
original song-"Democrat Alley" 1t
was we'll received.
THE DECLARATION
of Independence was now hurled forth |
in spirited manner by Miss Marie |
Vandersol, Salem's popular young |
elocutionist. She was arrayed in |
beautiful costume as Goddess of |
Liberty, with golden eagles on her
head and bosom, wreathed in jasmine. i
She elected applause time and again
for the immortal sentiments of de-
tiance sent out at Great Britain in
1916.
THE SPEECHES.
First On the program was scholarly,
dignified and patriotic address for
Bryan and Bimetallism by Col. f. V.
Drake, Portland silver Republican
leader. He was warmly applauded as
were the excellent addresses of Jas.K.
Weatherford and MA. Miller, of Linn
county, and Judge McFadden of Ben
ton. THE JOURNAL will present the
speeches Of these gentlemen if they
can be obtained in a few days from
the gentlemen who delivered them.
THE JOURNAL must plead it's poverty
as the only excuse for not having a
shorthand reporter and printing it's
own report. as the speeches certainly
merited. Equally well with the
speeches and declaration of Independ-
ence, land in fact with an ovation, was
an original effort by Master
James MOtt,a Salem boy,of whom the {
entire city must feel proud-we pre-
dict he will be in great demand in
Jhis campaign all over this state. The
Albany and Portland gentlemen pre- l
sent declared they would have young 7
Mott before their ratification audi [
,nce. /
Master James Mott recited in a
most effective manner following origi- a
lal poem, from the pen of DIR. w. S. a
dott, of Salem. o
