he ought to get out and do little hustling

The speechmaking of Elmer E. Thomas
in behalf of Benson appears to have ceased
1t was expected that Elmer Thomas would
immortalize the campaign with a series
of radical hsrangues, but he has not done
so, and the public is asking why. An an
swer TO the question comes in the report
that the Benson managers have asked Mr.
Thomas please to desist. The last speech
delivered by him at Seward Street
Methodist church appears to have had
a two-edged effect that knocked more
votes away from Benson than it secured.
The thought OF what the inimtable Hoff-
man was doing TO the Broatch campaign
by his zeal alarmed the Benson people and
they got panic stricken in the fear that
Elmer Thomas would do as much, il not
more, for their candidate. Hence his re-
cent silence.
