The Lgneolnson Timea
With several Others. we wsaf 10
Gasionla Saturday. We have n
apology 20 make for s. Glad -
sent. Was veil paid for the trip
Everybody vho wcnt we're. They
came away stronger patriots an1
American citizens. Everybody shonla
have gone.
Caxtonia threw her doors aide
open 10 the strangers within Their
gates. Castonia Is no one-horse town-
II has life and progress in IL. Its
citizens are clever. civil and broad
minded and believe in freedom D:
conscience. II there were any no:
heads there. they had sense enough
left in them 10 not abuse IL 10 their
discredit and that OF their growing.
busy city.
A band furnished the best OF
music. We heard the name OF II,
but IL escaped our memory. We are
sorry TO say, for IL deserved TO be
praised by name. But it's not to be
hunted for. II is we'll known in that
section, and proves that 1t has been
well trained
We cannot estimate the crowd. But
IL was large and intelligent. II vas
composed OF voters. There were sew
eral ladies, but the great gang OF
town boys usually seen to swell such
crowds was very conspicuous by their
absence. The threatening weather
doubtless kept hundreds away. But
with all that. there were as many
present as could find room in hall
that would hold from eight hundred
to a thousand people.
Mr.. Holton could not get there.
Senator Butler did not get there until
about II o'clock The vast crowd
gathered at the grove for the speak
ing about 1920. Mr.. McNinch, the
Republican candidate for Congress,
was introduced by Mr.. G. A. Jonas of
this city in a very pointed and appro-
pirate speech, as he is capable Of
doing to the edification OF any audi
eRce, preparing them. for what IS TO
follow.
Mr.. McNinch made a good speech,
as he always does. He does not fool
away any time over minor subjects,
over little partisan spibbles or any,
old, stale and dead issues of the past
He discusses live issues, those that
effect the present and must bear fruit
in. the future. He discussed the tar
iff,, our foreign trade, cur cotton mill
and farming interests He showed
that what we needed was self-pTo-
lection as farmers, laborers, manu-
faeturers and business men. This
we can only do by making our own
supplies and keeping cur. money at
koms. He gave what Lincoln said as
as illustration. Lincoln, said: IF
buy my wife a cloak in. England,
this country has cloak, England
the money, and operatives in Eng
lanG get the wages, living out of it.
But if 1 buy it here, this country las
the. cloak, the money and the wages.
It was a good speech. An internKis-
sion was taken for dinnsF.
At 2, O'Clock, owing to- the threat
eniEg weather, the vast crowd crowd
ed UP into the opera aouse to hear
Senator Butler. He was introduced
by Mr.. Gardner Of CIerryville, the
Republican candidate in CASTOR for
the Legislature. 1t is: useless for US
to say that Mr.. Butler made a great
/ speech, 4 more Condensed and sDm-
prehensive speech Wa never heard.
He took In tn whols- scope Of the
State and National issues in al two
hours speech. And ne was listened
to with increasing interest from one
point to another. Mr.. Butler IS the
ablest speaker the State has ever pro
dueeds because he is the only man o.
thaf State that the opposition party
did not have a man, that could NEE
him. They say he IS mean and hal
done so many mean things. If thi
be- true why don't they put up SOM
one to meet him and show him up
prove il on him and drive lam out, c
the State? They don't tell the truth
that's all. Everybody liked hi

We were glad to meet DR.. Mo-
there. We met many friends We ha
: not seen for years. 1t was a day Ion
to be remembered, and one that wi
bear much fruit fo9 peace and fl
prosperity
