dates, No speaker go wrong by following
these directions"
colonel Abe Gruber, in giving his views on
The subject Of successful stump speaking. said:
That speaker best entertans and holds his
audience who being honest and sincere in his
convictions, speaks with warmth and expression
uses humor and satire when attacking the
en"rnys position and is serious in the presenta-
uon Of the facts and arguments which he relies
on for his side of the case The opening OF
every political meeting is frigid The band OF
music usually creates some warmth, and he is
fortunate speaker who get his audience
TO laugh before he makes the appeal to reason
Laughter makes receptive the intellect of the
audience and creates in it a sympathy with the
speaker; but the only way to hold an audience
from the view that the audience wants to know
what the speaker has to say, is for the speaker
10 indulge in facts.
1T is what the nearer takes with him when
he leaves the hall that counts most in the speak
er's success II any considerable number of
those present at the meeting say on the follow
ing day that the Speaker said so and so and so
and SO then the speaker has been a success; IL
they don't he has been failure in the pursuit
of the real thing to be attained by his speech.
The speaker must work for his audience and
nOt for himself. He who thinks only of the in
donations of his voice his gestures and the
proper placing or MS words Is handicapped in
the race with the speaker who, having a thought
to deliver. delivers it like man who believes it
and knows that it is the truth The speaker
must warm up. and when he is thoroughly
aroused then come to him the brightest things
he says and the best things. too. The audience
must feel that the speaker is SO to speak, ON
the level and that he believes what he says.
There can be no such thing talking over the
heads of an audience II the speaker has facts
and is making clear the truth of the case

my speeches, and his usefulness as a campaign

stump speaker has always to decide
whether he cares more to make reputation as
an orator or statesman or to carry his audience;
the two seldom go together The reason is that
when the critic, the editorial commentator and
the opponent discuss the printed speech unless
Ii is very carefully prepared, profoundly ar
ranged and solemnly put, they give IL scant
attenuon- Profound speeches usually empty the

STUMP SPEAKING IN THIS STATE.
There is no question as to the value Of stump
speaking. Every one who comes to hear VIII

with material for their addresses in the school
houses 1t gives the audience facts figures, IL

they can strengthen their argument which is

In ninety mine cases out of hundred he returns
from the crowd a beaten man and usually be
comes marked person in the community In
the State of New-York stump speaking will
make d difference in the Republican vote of from
twenty-five to fifty thousand. The reason for
this is that in the rural districts, where the
voters are nearly all Republicans, the result
seems so certain that when it is a sacrifice the
voter sees reason for going to the polls. The
stump speaker will enghten the voter on that
subject.
"A successful campaign speaker must have for
his speech a solid foundation; he must present
facts which bear upon his and discrcdt
the enemy that he cannot be successfully
disputed, for audiences well read and ntelli-
gent. Above all things he must be clear ard
lucid. The serious part of his speech should be
worthy to be distributed as a campaign docu-
ment He should relieve his argument with
illustrations, historical from fiction or from
personal experience. He must have a certain
amount of humor, like iceiEg on the cake or
raisin inside, and he should have a patent on at
least one good story. IL he has new story
he can safely count on not more than a hun
dTed in a large audience having heard an old one.
Audiences dearly love anything of a personal
nature, and a story to what the speaker
heard on the train or at the hotel always takes
well, and the story becomes particularly telling
il the audience thinks it has identified the per
son who figures in the story.
My advise to speakers would include: Never
abuse your Op oOnent; ridicule him. show up the
foibles and weaknesses CT the other side but do
it with light TOT ch. Calling names and using
offensive epithets enrage a wavering man and
fix him against you and please only the more
violent of your auditors. Be absolutely fair in
the treatment of parties. principles and candi-

DANGERS or SOUTH AFRICAN FARMING.

From The London Globe
The story OF young South African farmer who
pOughed up a bundle of MauseT rifles. ammu-
milton and provisions recalls to a contemporary
an excellent story concerning "A settler in Wal

occupation of ploughing when he suddenly
heard a loud explosion, and felt blow that
completely stunned him on coming to his
senses ne found that his plough was broken to
pieces and that his horse had suffered a sim
liar fate. He had. a matter of fact struck
upon a live shell which had been buried during
the Maori The story calls up n vista of
the possible dangers of farming in South Africa
after the conclusion of the war.
