very prettily decorated with
American flags and potted plants
for the: county Democratic ban

The first part of the evening
was given over to the fine dinner
which was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present and was served
without the least bit of confusion
by the host Of walters. During
the course of the banquet a duet
was rendered by Messrs. Mueller
and Parsowith. This was so
greatly enjoyed that Mr.. Mueller
was obliged to respond with a
solo for an encore.
Following the banquet f. E.
Drach in few well chosen worls
introduced Ernest Barlow as
the toastmaster of the evening
In his remarks Mr. Drach said !:
1--WE have disposed of the fluids
and solids of the evening and now
we will endeavor tc dispose or
the atmosphere. some of which
might prove to be rather warm. y
He said that the object of the
meeting was to have a good time.
and he wanted everyone to feel
at home and without the least
sense of restraint.
Mr.. Barlow in Introducing the
first speaker of the evening said
THAT they would begin at the up
per end Of the county and make =
clean sweep as they came down.
He then introduced Mr.. William
Dinkle of Carbondale. Mr. Din
KEEL said he brought greetings
from the first precinct of Garfield
county, which he represented.
After a short speech from him
DR.. l.. G. Lockhart of New Castle
was introduced. He said that af-
ter eating such dinner he was
full, and not only that, but he
was loaded with Democracy.
"The Democratic situation will be
well taken care of in this coun-
try" he said, "as we have the
trump cards-even the Duce. ="
During his talk he paid compli-
ments. to Gov. Buchtel in no I'M
certain terms. The next speaker,
Maj. DeLan, said in part: "We
must pray and work hard so that
we can have victory this year.
The middle class is rapidly be-
coming lost, the rich are becom-
ing richer and the poor poorere.
The Democratic party is the only
means of restoring the middle
class. God created Washington
and Lincoln at the time of two
great crises, and now, at the time
of another one he has created w.
j. Bryan" (applause)

the Great Commoner" was the
subject of the next speaker, Mary
IC. G.. Bradford of Denver. She
fsaid in part: Democracy is re-
ligipn with me. The world, if il

tory has shown that no Republics
have lasted over 200 years that
have not been democratic" She
paid a, high tribute to the Moth
err Of the Revolution and the Re.
