lean ticket for the house, and
SOn, 0. Max Gardner, candidate
q the democratic ticket for the
Ieaate.
Mr.. ". c. McRoric, republican
c,ndidate for solicitor, was the
first speaker. There were but
handful of people on hand when
he began, but the court room grad
uaIly filled until there were about
our hundred people present. Mr..
NcROrie confined his remarks al
most entirely to the tariff, advanc-
no the same old familiar argu-

heuse. Al one point in his ad-
lress he had his auditors aroused

necessary to yell in order to give
roper vent to their enthusiasm,
