 Her talk was somewhat ramb- ling and she would hardly interest an audience were 1t not for the fact that her reputation makes people want to hear her. She denounced the political parties, charging that they were all domi- mated by the liquor element, and took rap at President Roose- welt and Governor Davis. She said she was sorry Arkansas had such man for governor, which utterance was aPplauded by her hearers. She was probably more severe on the Republicans than the Democrats, and stated that she had been in iail twenty-five times, and every time she was sent there Was by Republican judge.
