Ivan is a fine orator and a thorough

man from the big Tenth district, also
delivered a good address in true repub-
lican style. He answered Mr. Sullivan
as far as time would permit, and while
not an orator OF a high class like his
opponent, there was little left OF Mr..
Sullivans' argument when he had fn-
ished. Judge Conner deals in facts In
plain and simple manner, rather thah
oratory, and every word carries with
it deep conviction. The carnival man
agement is to be congratulated on the
manner in which 1t was conducted, II
being as clean, and orderly in every re-
spect, as ii is possible TO have any pup
