and F. P. Flint
Are Cheered

There was a rousing Kahn meeting
at Pioneer Hall last evening. Frank

United States Senator, was the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening and his
frank, earnest style raised the enthu-
siasm of the audience to a high pitch.
Joseph Goddard, to whom campaign
ing is an old story, was the chairman
of the evening and he handled the
crowd with skill. Mr.. Flint was the
first speaker introduced and the cheers
of the audience demonstrated his popu-
larity. After thanking the audience for
the fiattering reception accorded him,
Mr.. Flint said:

conclude my speech before calling your at
tention to the necessity of electing the Re-
publican legislative candidates in this district.

Now, to the trusts: The Republican
party is doing more to-day to regulate the
trusts than was ever done in the history OF
the Government. Measures to regulate the
trusts were in force during Cleveland's ad-
ministration (tbey were passed by a Republi-
can Congress and signed by Benjamin Harrison
