 John W. Hull was chairman Of the rally and performed his duties ex- l cellentIy, introducing the various speakers in very suitable and impress sive manner. Mr Dohahue, who was selected to speak first as he wished to his home in Derby, bent hls efforts in showing up MT Sperry and MT. Lllley make connection with the train for In the worst form. MT.

LIlley was not; that MT. Lilley held stock in the beef trust, although he stated contrary, and that Alr. Lilley drew money from the wives and chil- dren of working people to pay for his newspaper advertising. MT.

I shall vote for any measure which will tend ito fortify the people of this state in the legislature.

In speaking of "The" Ullman and Uncle N. D.'s ring" he said they were wise men, but they represented q party which was declining, and If Mir Sperry did not look out he would fall However, he thought he was only fight ing the Ullman- Sperry ring, but if he was fighting the Lord there was nc hope. would like to have MT. Sperry come out either In the newspapers or In some other way and tell us what lie means by first voting to Inquire into the "postoffice scandal,'' and then vote against having detectives to put an end to 1t, My impression is that you want a representative who will go to Wash ington and get among the grafters and raise h-l with them. I think that on my part our side Is going to win"
