because OF the recen, Republican defec-

M: Harrison came out OF his Office IA Mr.
holly was saying this and heard IT, He
looked panied. But Mr.. Holly took him
under his grandfatherly wing and led him
things to him in a soothing voice. Mr.
Holly has been in politics so long that there
are many things known to him which can
not be known to young man who has
been Jehersonian Democra, FOR only
twenty-eight years.
Every nigh, they take Mr. Harrison around

voice he told Of the thousands who are out
OF work in these cherries days There
we're murmurs OF applause. No small part
OF his audience Of 100 felt that he was speak
ing directly to them. There have been lots
OF men out OF work in the neighborhood
OF Forty-seventh street and Sixth avenue
these last few days since District Attorney
Jerome's raids the other night. He said he
was greatly gratified to have a chance to
address his fellow voters of the silk stock
ing district" Then there were more
iuuTinuTS,
1t wasn't exactly a silk -, ockng audience
and his hearers were not sure how helnean,
what he said. But he got al them later in

TO see "thebshetering walls of an iniquitous
tariff fall and crumbls in a st orm of public
indignation that would sweep the wicked
monopOlies which Cypress the people like
chan before il and drive them from the
hiding places where they were crouching
for further destruction"

he thought his chance was OF beating the
Republican candidate. James W. Perry, to
whom the Republican ma jority OF 1000 in
the district is pledged Mr.. Harrison
said that he was not in the prophecy bust
