One of the largest crowds that
have turned out since the cam
paign began assembled at Parrish
Warehouse Monday night to hear
Governor R. B. Glenn discuss the
issues of the campaign from a
Democratic standpoint. 1t was
an enthusiastic crowd and a con-
servative estimate placed it at
from three to four thousand peo-
pie, including about so ladies'.
Special cars came in from East
and West Durham bringing large
crowds of people eager to hear
the governor and participate in a
Democratic demonstration. On
every hand Democrats were jubi-

crowd that could not hear the
speaker did not remain through

speech was concluded there were
present a large number of those
that had been patiently listening
to the speaker for more than an
hour. His speech was all that
Democrats could have asked for

speech appeared in the Herald of
