Speaking Monday.

The Republican speaking here last
Monday was rather tame affair in
point of cold facts and potent reasons.
Mr.. Dixon. the speaker, is a man of
fair address and possesses some at
tractive fittings of campaigner, but
his knowledge of things and events
could not make his audience either
wiser or more enthusiastic.
He had about 100 to listen while he
claimed the earth and the fulness there
of as an asset for his party. His def
milton of Trusts was too thin to be ac-
copied and his defense of them to weak
to be endorsed. His eulogy of Mr..
Taft bordred on the things hoped for
but never exist, while his denunciation
Of Mr.. Bryan was but a feeble effort
made to capitalize his forelorn hopes of
departing glory. He held up the corps
of prosperity and declared it to be living
and predicted fearful conditions should
Mr.. Bryan be elected. He failed to tell
the people how Mr.. Taft stood on the
New Testament or whether his election
would advance the cause of righteous
ness. His speech was too weak to be a
credit to man sent out to enlighten
the people on the great issues now be-
fore the people.
