The democratic rally at the opera
house last Tuesday night was charac-
terizsd by good attendance but poor

cal spirit moving. His statement
about the wonderful savings of the
present administration is not verified
by the democratic office holders. But

regardless of fact, to bolster up los
ing cause. Congressman Ed. Taylor,
the Chesterfield of democracy, did his
best to arouse enthusiasm but the
''ghost failed to walk" The other
speaker was Frank Leary of Denver.

be about the most active and well-st
uated.' He was very greatly impress
sed with what he saw here during hiz
visit. A travelling man on the same
train stated that he had noticed a de-
cided change in the business element
