Rockingham, N. c., Oct 10 Mr..
Glenn was met at the train last night
by special committee composed of
County Chairman Whitlock, Cameron
Morrison and M. l.. Hinson, who es-
corted him in carriage to Mcdonald
Hotel. At ? O'Clock the Rockingham
band began to play in front of the
court house and the crowd gathered
in the building to inspiring strains of
music. There were many ladies and
children.
Promptly at 2:30, amid loud bursts
CT music and cheering the next Gov
ernor of the State was escorted into
the court room. Owing to the busy
times with farmers the crowd from
the country was not SO large, but there
was q fair representation of farmers,
mechanics, business and professional
men. Mr.. Glenn spoke an hour and
forty minutes. He seems to gain
strength and speak with more power
and force each Gay.
Introducing Glenn as our next Gov
ernor Chairman Whitlock paid him q
high compliment for work done iii the
past for the party. He said there was
no more nobler work than fighting
democratic battles.
Mr.. Glenn said in the beginning of
his speech. if he could consult his
feelings he would beg to be excused
but remembering how kind these peo-
pie had been to him, he would do his
best, and from the applause and en-
thusiasm he aroused from beginning
to END of his speech twas evident he
spoke to the entire satisfaction and
qualification of all Democrats includ-
ing ladies. He uttered not word
that could offend any one, this strong
appeal TO All present to so to work for
perpetuating good State government
was clothed in such beautiful, pathetic
language as to draw tears from most
all present.
His description Of the days of '6S
and 80 under Republican administra-
tiCn was so true and forcible as to
make one shudder. Then with chaste,
beautiful language he pictured sum
shine and brightness brought 20 the
State under Democratic rule. Uphold~
ing and advocating the Watts law, he
said he did not know hcw others We're,
but fer himself so help him God, he
would stand 70" the women, children,
me little church out in the country,
sober fathers and husbands.
Tilue and inability to justify COM
n ent on such a great strong speech
say stop. The general comment here
is the speech will do much good in
arousng Democrats to such a pitch
of enthusiasm that Richm nd VIII rull
up from eight hundred to one thous-
and majority.
