poration which has not had a sufficient
supervision, IL it is a corporation which is
using the privileges obtained from the peo-

is most anxious for is hat the American
people, with that wisdom that has always
characterized them, with that sober common
sense which has distinguished them and
brought them safely out of every crisis, will
address itself to these questions, so that all
difficulties may be solved in a sober, calm

in order to obtain Office, but disinterestedly,
patiently, fearlessly and continuously doing
his duty as q citizen. That Is the duty OF
every American in the present hour.

came to his rescue and escorted him
out. The band played a patriotic air and
after another short speech by the Rev.
