minute or two as if the next
speaker, Z. +. Roberts, candidates
Tor congress, would have to speak
to empty benches. He was intro
duced during the noise and began
IN such a snappy way that many
people kept thier seats. MIR.
Roberts began by defending his
associates on the ticket from the
charges the wicked democrats were
making against them. In his
opinion all were perfect and con-
sequently could not be guilty of
any of the charges made against
them. He was talking about Mr..
Oddie when this report closed. We
understand that when he finished
this defense, he touched lightly on
the tariff.
The Opera house was handsomely
decorated and the audience was
an inspiring one. The speakers
seemed 60 De overloaded with
admiration for each othre, but
were shy on the issues of the cam
paign. AS a mutual admiration
society. this detachment of the
republican menagerie is a decided

is evident that no steps have be, i.

that Eureka will be witho 4

when interviewed, was not in a

fact that the Western Union !
no Office rent, fuel or light expen

SPRAGUE DEFENDS HIMSELF

CharleS >. Sprague, democratic
nominee for congress, was asked
today to reply to the alta cks made
upon him by Messrs. Nixon and
Roberts at last nights meeting.
Mr.. Sprague said:

attacked last night. Nixon and
Roberts we're simply trying to
defend themselves against attacks

Roberts is attempting to make the

speeches in this campaign and never
nee have used Roberts name or
referred to him directly or in

the issues of the campaign and to
the public record of candidates.
AS Roberts is not discussing the
issues and has taken position on
none OF the important questiors of
the day and as he has no record as
a public man, | have had to pass
him up. He is making a campaign
for Nixon apparently md not for
himself; for he devotes all his time
boosting for the senator. He de-
feded himself against some so-callet
attacks last night. of which l hac
