D. A. McKinlay to Talk on Single
Tax-Dates for Local and
Suburban Mass-Meet-
ings Set.

The Republican State Executive Com
mittee is arranging series of mass meet
ings to take the State by storm, and II Is
safe TO say that by the Sth of Novem-
Der every district in the State will have
heard Gage Neff and other Republican
leaders and will be educated up to the
great issues of the campaign.
While during many campaigns the good
speakers have been kept for the larger
cities and the poorer ones delegated to
the interior districts, there will be none
of 1t this time. The committee will have
many speakers and all will be good speak
ers; men noted for their power of ora
tory and logical address; and they will
stump the State thoroughly for the stand
ard bearers of the Republican party.
There will be no false issues presented to
the public and no playing to the galleries.
The great issues of the campaign will be
set forth clearly and distinctly, and all
those subjects which might catch the
public ear, but in reality have no direct
bearing, will be carefully avoided.
Chief among the speakers is Webster
Davis, First Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Mr.. Davis is not only well
known as a speaker, but he has an I'M
assailable record as a public official he
has served the public for many years and
bears the record of a man who, possessed
