terrupted by rounds of applause,
showing that his words carried home
to the hundreds who listened to his
eloquent and temperate address.
Straw Greets Candidates.
One OF the largest crowds which
has yet greeted the democratic candi-
dates gathered in the school house at
Straw, Friday evening. B. F. Gordon
presided and made a neat speech in
opening the meeting. He stated that
since the republicans had been unable
to find a republican in that precinct,
he had been asked to and contented
to introduce the republican orators
when they appeared at that place a
few evenings previous. There were
fifty or sixty voters present to hear
the democratic speakers present their
side Of the questions OF the day, and
what was said very evidently met with
entire approval, judging from the
plause when a good point was scored
made an especially interesting speech
i'll presenting the county ticket, and
was warmly congratulated by all pres
ent after the meeting closed.
Garneill Does the Honors.
Real old-fashioned Scotch hospl-
tality was extended to the candidates
at Garneill, Saturday evening. This,
too, was a banner meeting, and IN
marked contrast to the rather tame
affair OF the republican candidates at
the same place on the previous eve
ming. Dan Mckay presided and did
it mighty we'll. Charles J. Marshall
was the first speaker and again made
an unusually strong address. Homer
Detrick also won friends by his talk
on political issues, especially as they
relate to Senator Thomas Henry Car
ter and his ambitions to succeed HIM
self in the high position which he
now holds. Miss Alice Clancy made
a very neat little talk on educational
matters, after which Tom Stout took
up further phases Of the record OF
crowd present and it was splendid
Senator Carter. There was big
meeting.
Big Doings at Lavina.
The democratic rally and dance,
Monday evening, drew a large num-
Der OF people to Lavina The Round
the evening, and gave an open air
concert in front OF the Adams hotel,
which was heartily applauded and
very much enjoyed.
Tom Stout, candidate for state sen
ator; Jos. Asbridge and Homer De
trick, candidates for representatives,
the three speakers of the evening, ar
rived from the west in an automobile
about 7:30, and the meeting was i'm
1nediately opened up with an able and
thoroughly convincing address by
Tom Stout, and the hearty applause
with which he was greeted through
out his speech was evidence Of a large
number of supporters for the party
principles which he so fearlessly ad-
yocated.
Brief addresses were also made by
Jos. Asbridge and Homer Detrick,
who were also heartily applauded.
Mr. Asbridge stated that the speak
ers were somewhat handicapped,
owing to the fact that their chairman
sadly neglected his duty, for the rea-
son. no doubt, that he had far more
important engagement. Under the
circum stances, however, the candi-
dates were obliged to dispense with
the usual custom Of the Introductory
remarks and announcement of the
speakers
At the conclusion Of the speeches
the seats were removed, and the
Roundup orchestra rendered some
very pleasing and high-class music
for those who desired to dance.
Dainty refreshments were served
at the Adams hotel at II o'clock
Dancing was resumed, and at two
O'Clock the successful rally came to ;
close.
The committee is to be congratu
lated for their efforts on this oc
cason, which was success, boil
