Minister'S Suggestion.
Among others at headquarters during
the day was a we'll known minister who
dropped into to, suggest that In making
dates for speaking, the Democratic MAJ r
agement endeavor to avoid fixing dates
for speaking in the cities and towns on
Wednesday evening. which is usually the
time for holding prayer meetings at the.
various churches. This minister stated
that he and many members OF his con
gregationS would like to hear some. OF the
speak ers, < but when speaking was had on
Wednesday evenings the ministers could
not go, and many members OF their con-
gregations would not. deeming It their
duty to attend the religious services. On
the other hand, some who should be a
prayer meeting, neglected that duty TO
attend the political meetings. The s,lg-
gestion will be taken up BY Chairman
Ellyson on his return. Meanwhile ills.
Interesting to note that the first cam
paign rally announced for this city Is
fixed for October 5th Wednesday,
