ENTHUSIASTIC
MEETING
Biz Crowd Out to Repub.
lican Speaking.

The republican campaign in Linr
county was opened this week by Hon
Geo. L. Dobson, former secretary o.
state of Iowa, who spoke here Tues
day night at the opera house to g
great and enthusiastic audience on
the issues of the campaign, state and
national
The speaker was introduced by R.
S. Kathan, Of Bucklin, republican
candidate for prosecuting attorney,
and for nearly two hours he held the
attention of his audience. Although
it was very warm in the opera house,
few left until he had finished, and
their places were Immediately taken
by others.
In a simple, forceful manner he
told the story of corruption in the
state legislature. He showed up the
conditions in St. Louis, where an hon
est man can hardly vote. He gave
us the opinion of Missouri held by
people in other states, and showed
how utterly impossible it would be
for Folk, if elected, to carry out his
promises, since no man in Office can
rise above his party. Then he appeal
ed to all men to lay aside party pref
udice and vote for principles, and to
try to save Missouri from the rule of
the hated and corrupt machine by put
ting in clean lot of officials.
Turning to national affairs, he said
that the two great issues are sound
money and the tariff. He compared
conditions in free trade England
where he was born, and in this coun-
try under a protective tariff and un-
der the Wilson German law, and
showed why immigrants come from
free trade countries to be "robbed" by
our tariff laws.
Mr.. Parker says the money ques-
ton is settled; Mr.. Bryan says it is
not; the democratic platform says no.
thing, while republicans agree that it
is settled so long as they control the
government.
Referring to trusts, he compared
the work of the republicans to what
the democrats didn't do when they
had the power, in way decidedly
unfavorable to the democrats. The
charge of imperialism he made ridicu-
lous. All references to the "silent
man" were received with laughter,
but every allusion to Teddy brought
forth applause.
All parties were represented in the
large audience, and it is certain that
bis speech made votes for the republi-
cans. His address was simple, clear,
logical, and no one could take offence
at anything he said. Those who
heard Folk last week say that his {
speech was inferior to Mr.. Dobson's,
both in arousing enthusiasm and in
making votes. His was the plainest,
,learest speech ever heard in Laclede. ,
He will again speak in this county, s
It Meadville. on the evening of Oc- t
ober Sth.
