Frank M. Eddy spoke in his usual
and positive wav and took up IN de-

farmer who is harvesting his grain {
good crowd of people welcomed At
torney Charles A. Lindbergh who ap
peared here Monday evening and spoke
in the interests Of his candidacy fol
the republican nomination Of congress
man from this district. Every seat IL
the hall was occupied. The Pine Riv
or band turned out and enlivened thu
occasion with some music and also fav
o-ed the gathering with selection af
ter the speaking was over.
Mr.. Lindbergh spoke for an hour i.
very Instructive and interesting
manner and some of the views the set
forth, particularly those on the rail
road rate bill, appealed to his listeners
very strongly. Regarding his oppon'
ent, Congressman Buchanan, he did not
have much to say, but he cited facte
in very concise manner and left it tc
his hearers to draw their own conclu.
sions.
Regarding Mr.. Buckman's claim
as to what he has done in the past
Mr.. Lindbergh explained that on the
face of things it might appear that he
had really accomplished something but
when simmered down to the actual
merits of the case he showed conclu-
sively that Mr.. Buckman was taking
. whole lot of credit to himself for do.
ing something over which the influ:
ence Of the Office of any congressman
had no effect, such as the establish.
ing Of rural routes, securing of pen.
sions, and the granting Of pension
claims.
Mr.. Lindbergh's speech was a clean
cut aud free from all sensational criti-
cism of his opponent, and by being
80 1t made for him host Of friends,
many of whom in times past have cas-!
their votes for Buchanan. he was en-.
Enthusiastically applauded.
