GOOD FEELING and ENTHUSIASM

from the political rostrum. He
quoted a sentence he had heard
from the lips of Mr.. Mckinley in
an apostrophe to the American
flag, what God has wrought in
His loom let not man rend in
twain" Mr.. Foote made many
friends and created much ap-
plause as he referred feelingly to
sweet, brave, gentle, true, cour-
ageous. manly William McKin.
ley"
II. NJ. Hogg was the guest Of
honor and principal speaker of
the evening. He said it would be
but slight task to prove that
George Washington was the first
Republican. 81 hardly think"
said the speaker. "that in Colo
RADIO. today there can be any
doubt as to what Republicanisn
stands for in Colorado or in the
United States"
81 am not sure but that the
time is not very far past when
we must admit that perhaps we
have not followed closely the
lines laid down by the great Re.
publican party, but l am very
sure of one thing and that is that
we will not go to the Democratic
party to have our shortcomings
pointed out nor will we ask that
party to give us advice as to
what we shall do. OF all the pee
pie in this land, the Democrats
are the last to look to for advice
or suggestions.
Bryan Craze Over.
"The people of this state do
pretty much as they choose.
They think as they please and
they vote as they please. and it is
this faculty of adaptability that
caused state which gave James
G. Blaine the largest vote of any
state in proportion to population
to turn around in short time
and give w. J. Bryan a majority
of 13S,O0O.'
The speaker said the Bryan
craze was well over and that he
was sure there were many in the
audience who voted for Bryan
once or possibly twice who would
not think of doing SO again. He
then told his hearers that in view
of the splendid record of our
president there never was time
when it stood the people Of Colo
RADIO in hand to be square and
honest and when it was more alb
sO!utely necessary that we tell
the truth than at present. Mr..
ilogg's brief address was greatly
appreciated and all regretted
that the necessity for the speaker
to leave on west bound train
compelled him to make his re-
marks very brief.
Republican Success Certain.
The next speaker was E. II.
Grubb of Carbondale to whom
the committee had not assigned
II subject, leaving it for him to
talk on "any old thing" and this
time Gene surely. made good.
He said he felt that Republi-
cans were absolutely certain of
success in Colorado at the next
election. He started out as a Re-
publican SO years ago and he is
still travelling under the RepuhIi-
can banner. He carried Ere
mont flag in the first Republican
campaign-an honor of which
few men can now boast.
"No other party has such a
splendid record of achievements
as the Republican party; no other
party has protected or tried to
protect the skilled mechanics Of
this country as has the Republi-
can party, and not oaly that, but
it has protected the, men who till
the soil and who produce what
is necessary to feed. the world, as
no other party under the sun has
ever attempted to do. The Re-
publican party is the stanch and
true friend Of the farmer"
Rev. c., w. Dubois eclesed the
program by responding to the
toast "T'he Makers OF Our Conn.
TRY" Mr.. Dubois' remarks wero
