ed to be present.
An instance of the way Mr.. MOndell
is being received by the people was
given in his meeting OF the hill Satur-
day night. He spoke at Woods camp
at Tie Siding. Three hundred people
were there. The meeting was out of
doors and despite the cool evening air
the crowd grew larger thar smaller as
Mr.. Mondell progressed with his ad-
dress. A platform had been erected
for the occasion. 1t was handsomely
decorated and lighted with electricity.
Mr.. Mondell created much enthusiasm;
and his reception there was the most
significant kind of a contrast with the
reception John Charles Thompson got
there when not a single person came to
the place where the meeting was adj
vertised to take place.
Mr.. Mondell feels greatly elated owe
the prospects for an overwhelming vic
tory in this state. Everywhere. he
says. the people realize what it means
to have a business-like administration
of state and national affairs and are
not disposed to take any chances of
losing what they have gained.
