Senator A. P. German made what
possibly will be his only speech dur
ing the present campaign at a large
rlass meeting in this, his home, and

fetal extravaganza. VIM. S. Cow.
herd of Missouri, chairman of tn ,
Democratic congressional committee,
was the only other speaker of ma
tional prominence.
Eulogizing Lincoln Senator Cor

and prosperity to the south at the
close of the war, while here, thirty,
nine years after the conflict ended,
comes one Theodore Roosevelt to
reopen the old wounds and threaten
a people who have greater burdens
to bear than any other people on
earth, with negro domination, which
means threatening their homes"
In eulogy of Grant, Senator
German declared that great soldier
upon becoming president declared
against large standing army, in
which he was upheld by another great
soldier, Gen. John A. Logan, who
framed bill limiting it to 10000 men.
" ct here is Theodore Roosevelt, a
little soldier of less than ninety days.
with dreams Of an empire to be made
by him who forced the passage of a
law increasing the standing army to
100000 men and bringing the state
militia organization under presideE-
tial control
Roosevelt promised by Mckinley s
bier to follow in his foot
steps, and he has followed in the OPP
posite direction He has built up an
army and a navy too large for the
country and he has bullied South
American republics and taken from
cne Colombia its most valuable as
set.
'In doing all these things the mon-
ey of the American people has been
spent like water and corruption has
