the organization, and during that time
there has been a greater growth and
advancement in the country's prosper

provement in methods than during any
other twelve years in the history of the
nation-perhaps the world.

OF those who spoke, ex-senator Geo

upon by Chairman Andrews, who
explained every plank in the plat
form and laid great stress upon the
city aud county plank. He said in
the main that the Republican party
would stand for il and work to pass
such a measure, as IL is bound to
'ome and that the people demand it.
Other speakers were Rep j Ku-
malae, w w Harris, Frank Andrsde,

plank.
