Lawson Of Boston spoke at the Ottawa

gest crowd ever gathered here. He
arrived this morning in his private

He gave this as his advice to the

"The first step is for the American
people to divorce themselves from the
system and sell every share Of stock
and every bond they hold back to the
frenzied fnanciers at present inflated
prices.
take the money thus realized and
place 1t 10 banks and trust compa'
nies, or, better still, in government,
state and municipal bonds. In select
ing banks and trust companies steer
clear, to the best Of your ability, OF
those institutions that are linked up
with the system When you all
have done this you have cut the
foundation from under the inflated
price structure the system is main
tanning and a collapse is inevitable.
When the value Of securities declines
to a given point the system must
throw over the stocks and bonds 1t is
carrying, for bear In mind, frenzied
inanCiers never own outright the
stocks and bonds that stand In their
names. A finanCler worth $40, ,O00,0 900
will be found owning 100000, 1000 Of
stock, borrowing the $4O,O0O,OOO from

stayed at her home l managed to see
her once every day, and at night she
was ever in my dreams. l thought
that death would be welcome II she
did not become my wife; and when
our force left for Washington all
that kept me from utterly breaking
down was her promise that she would
answer every letter l wrote her. But
alas! though l wrote often and loving

four months I went about sick at
heart because of her supposed faith
lessness.
'Well, about six moths ago I went
back to the South for the first time

out of my way | couldn't omit a visit
to the scene Of my first romance. My

"a man once asked me to bleed his

thought that this was the only way

Another man came and asked me
what 1 would charge to put his nose
