supporters that while he would like to

The Atchison Globe gives a character
lstlc account of the Republican meeting
addressed by Henry Allen and Con
gresham Curtis there Tuesday evening
1t gives a good general idea of tho
speech Allen has been making in this
campaign, and Allen has undoubtedly
been one of the most effective speakers
the Republicans have had. The Globe
says:
Henry ]. Allen. editor of the Ottawa
Herald, who was one of the spea kers
at the political meeting at Turner hall
last night. made good in spite of th-
handicap placed upon him when it was
announced that he was the wittiest and
best talker of the Republican bunch in
Kansas this year. When people are led
to expect great deal they 3re often
disappointed, but Allen was more than
equal to the occasion. He is an orator
of the converse tional kind. with a face
that ntS his talk. A frank, open coun.
tenance and merry twinkle of his
eyes, which inspires his hearers with an
abiding confidence. A prince of ridicule
he deals blows in the disguise of love
pats He uses what baseball writer's
call change of pace in passing from
serious discussion at single breath to
bubbling humOr. The audience which
completely filled the hall, was with him
from the start, and many glowing pre-
dlctlons for the young mans future are
heard today. Mr. Allen is not over 3S
although he has a big bald spot on the
back of his head. He is chairman of
the state board of charities, and visits
the Soldiers Orphans home once =
month. Mr.. Allen devoted himself more
particularly to national affairs although
he said that in this campaign it was a
matter of serious concern with him as
to what he should discuss. as Demo-

tried to stop he was urged to go on.
