Banker Boyd Ramsey, as first speak
er of the meeting gave an instructive
and convincing discourse ON the good
of the Republican party from a bank
er's standpoint.
The meeting was held in the Belle
center Opera House and before the
gathering the Bellecenter band dis
coursed some lively music. James K
Elder presided as chairman and proved
himself an apt and witty speaker in
introducing the "spellbinders.
Senator West devoted his remarks to
the development of the fact that the
business and prosperity of the country
is as great in this Presidential year as
ever in the history of tine United
States. He proved by argument that
the Republican party only was safe
and sane and gave convincing word
picture of the dread times of 90 under
a Democratic regime.
Attorney A. Jay Miller touched ON the
so-called Tissues" of the campaign. of
the great pension policy of President
Roosevelt and spoke of the individual
acts of the President clearly proving
that he had..never transgressed on the
authority..of others.
The meeting was unusually enthus-
liastic and shows the trend Of the Lo-
gan county voters thoughts.

Democrats are rather proud of Judg
Parker's success as peacemaker, bu
he is making a mighty poor record as
