siittcal gathering ever held In this city.
The governor was ct his best and made
an impression on the audience such as
no other speaker has done at this place
for years. He dwelt ON ali Of the So
called paramount issues. His argu-
ments were sound and forceful and his
speech has certainly done much good

delivers the address at the auditorium
there tonight. The governor iii his

These suggestions outrage both foreign
born and native born Americans. Those
who thus insult US do not know the
sentiment Of the men to whom they
make their appeals.
