evening and the good attendance is due
to the hard work of +. H. Rowland, the

rived on the 80 train and was driven
back TO Alma alter the meeting. Hick S
orchestra furnished music for the affair
and everyone brought his enthusiasm
with him.
Mr.. Newkirk proved to be a good, live
speaker and for an hour he held his au-
dience with a striking talk on live top
les of the day. The state issues he de-
fined very clearly, pointing out the
things that the republican administra-
tons have accomplished in Michigan in
past years and putting it squarely up to
the voter whether he wishes to continue
to advance in the future as in the past,
or whether he wishes to change the
helmsman and take an unknown, un-
tried course.
On national ISSUES he plainly portray
ed to his hearers the ability, statesman
ship and experience of William h. Taft
and against these same attainments he
portrayed Bryan in the role he has so
long occupied of dreamer. who is in
consistent with even his own expressed
opinions. Vote for him and you vote to
march backward instead of forward
Vote for Taft and you add further I'M
petus to the wheels of progress, which
are rolling swiftly OIL.
