troduced by Toastmaster Butler as the
sable biographer OF the late President
Harrison"
Mr.. GrifHth's remarks on political cor
ruption and the simple remedy which
would forever stamp II out OF American
political life aroused great enthusiasm.
Governor Utter. after eulogizing Abra-
ham Lincoln as a shining example OF the
ideal workingman. said that In Theodore
Roosevelt this country has found a worthy
successor 10 the martyred president.
Governor Utter also referred TO the
presidential election OF last November
and said the reason for Democratic de-
feat was not that ascribed by the Demo
cratic leaders, namely 10 conservatism.
but rather because the Republican party
WAS right.
The widest enthusiasm was aroused
by the next speaker, Hon. John l.. Grif-
nth of indianapolis. He was cheered
again and again AK he dealt eloquently
not only with municipal but national and
international affairs and the part which
this country has taken and is taking In
the latter.

from provincial 10 national and then on
to international supremacy. The wide
spread corruption in municipal and ma
tional politics could and would be eradi-

good in political life today than ever be-
fore and that what evil there Is the

Lincoln sand Roosevelt is that Lincoln
worked slowly but surely. while Roosevelt
strikes down evil with the strong right
arm OF righteousness.
