State was divided into hostile camp
as result OF appeals TO passion. No.
this gathering represented at least
oue- half Of the voting population.
and il came to hear and to listen to
the candidates. The speakers them

the best, If not the best. meetings
held so far and the attendance o.
the ladies was gratifying TO them.
There were several absentees from
the campaign party. Candidate Cole

There We're several very good
speeches made. Mr.. DuVall, cardi-
