ArbenZ complimented the HepuDllcanS
OF the district for their interest In the
campaign He had a number of effec-
tive anecdotes on tap, features greatly
appreciated at the usual political meet
ing. Mr.. Arbenz gracefully voiced his
claims for the nomination he aspired
to. He believed he merited 1t or he
would not ask 1t. He took exception to
Mr.. NesbItts contention relative to
party success, instancing his speeches
in the campaign of 1855 He said kind
things of the other candidates and pro-
missed support to the nominee, II he
happened to be loser.
Dr.. Taylor's Talk.
Dr. D. H. Taylor, candidate for sher-
III, was besleged with calls. The doctor
excused his voice, on account of re-
cent illness. He made n smooth, plain
and effective talk. In speaking of In
dustrial conditions, Dr. Taylor said
professional men were sufferers or
were benefited the same as working
men. The speaker found 1t harder I'M
der a Democratic administration to
get pay for his services than under u
Republican. The present was an era of
prosperity, but Republicans should not
be too confident of success in Novem-
Der. In 1896, said DR.. Taylor. I'VE
had the gold Democrats with US, but
the silver question is a dead one. Four
years ago people were recovering from
the period of depression, and we all
know what suffering and scenes Of
starvation there were In 1893. These
things, however, are soon forgotten.
People are prone to forget the hard
times in the flush OF prosperity. SO 1
say, the Republicans cannot lay back
on their oars and expect to slide into
power again. l sry. organize. organ
lie all along the line"
After speaking along this line, Dr..
Taylor touched on his own candidacy.
He would not say he would make a
better sheriff than Capt. Travis, who
was Il perfect gentleman and friend of
his. But I'm out for the sherlffalty,"
said DR.. Taylor. ~ have worked for
the Republican party for thirty-three
years and have never got n dollar
through 1t. II you think I'm worthy of
the place, gentlemen. will be grateful
to you for your support. But II you
nominate Capt. Travis, no man will
work harder for his election than DR..
Taylor"
DR.. Taylor was vigorously applauded
throughout his brief address and par
tlcularly for his concluding sentiments
Lester Smith, candidate for county
assessor. country districts; Charles
seibert, candidate for county commits
sloner from Trladelphia district. and
others were among the speakers that
occupied the time until adjournment.
In expressing his regret that so few
OF the citizens Of Pleasant Valley were
at the meeting, Mr., seibert said:
"There may be an Injunction against
Pleasant Valley Park against selling
liquor but thank God there's no in
junction against Republican meet
ing!" Mr.. selbert took occasion to deny
the assertion that he was candidate
in the interests OF license for the
park, he saying he would vote as had
the other commissioners on the ques-
ton, that the license shouldn't be
granted against the wishes OF the ma
jorlty of the community, and the mat
ter rested with the Pleasant Valley
council first, continued Mr.. seibert.
The clubs next meeting at Trladel-
phin will doubtless be even more sue
cessful.
