CANDIDATE. SHERMAN
Honored Guest of Welsh Societies at
Richfield Springs, N. Y.

Richfeld Springs, N. Y. Sept. Flames
S. Sherman, the Republican candidate for
the Vice Presidency, was the guest OF
honor of the Welsh Societies at their
national Eisteddfod today. Mr.. Sherman
received an ovation. Nearly 1000 singers
competed for the prizes, which amounted
to more than $1,000. Mr.. Sherman presided
over the opening session Of the Eistedd.
fod In his address he said: !
because Of his inherited love Of uber~
ty.- both Of thought and action. the
Welshman early becomes an enthusiastic
ic American. None are more welcome -
the shores Of this country than the
Welsh. You seek prosperity but you do
not seek it at the expense of any form
of government or at the expense Of any
class. You are willing to toll for it. You
are house builders. You are producers
as well as consumers. You may be clan
nsh. but you are charitable. hospitable
and erterprising. AS a people we encour-
age you to preserve the traditions and to
celebrate the achievements of those from
whom you sprang and whose memories
you hold most dear. America not only
adopts you but rejoices in your posses
sion"
The festival will continue tomorrow.
