SPEAKS TONIGHT
United States Consul General
Favorite in Wayne
County.
BIG CROWD TO GREET HIM.
AS HE is CONSIDERED ONE OF
GREATEST ORATORS IN STATE
HUNDREDS WILL NO DOUBT AT
TEND COLISEUM MEETING.

One of the ablest orators of Indiana,
John l.. Griffiths, will probably ad-
dress monster crowd at the coliseum
this evening on the issues of the cam
paign from a republican standpoint.
Mr.. Griffiths has met with great re-
ception wherever he has appeared and
the largest crowds that ever attended
a political meeting have greeted him
at a number of cities. He is recog-
niZed as a polished orator, who does
not indulge in mud throwing, although
a master of satire and sarcasm. Mr..
Griffiths is United States consul to
Liverpool, England, and has acquired
extensive fame in the British Isles
during his foreign residence.
1t is expected the building will be
found too small to accommodate the
crowd, If favorable weather prevails.
Mr.. Griffiths is an old time favorite
with the people of Wayne county. He
has spoken here a number of times
but never to a small or undemonstra-
tive audience. BY his words he holds
men spell bound and seldom it is that
his crowds are disturned by persons
leaving the hall.
Hundreds of country folks who
came to the city this morning to see
Taft will remain for this evenings
meeting. Mr.. Griffiths has not forgot
ten the manner in which this county
remained steadfast for his cause to the
very end, when he was a candidate
for governor and he will endeavor to
place before them an argumentative
campaign address that will convince
them he is still their friend.

townships and each ward of the city.
