One reason why political rallys
and speakings are getting to be so
poorly attended is because the peo-
Pile have got the habit of reading and
thinking for themselves. The effect
of political oratory, always temper
airy, is losing its grip as fad, and
the day of the stump speaker and
windjammer is waning.
In the excitement of political
campaign there are other interests
which should not be neglected nor
forgotten. A progressive county like
Delta must be kept in the public
eve, not altogether through poll
tics but because of merits of its
multitude of resources. A county
with such future has much to be
proud of as well as to look forward
to. Every citizen should keep the
matter of progress of our county as
well in mind as that of progressive
