ularly pleased with the climate there.
They have much to tell of interest to
people who have never visited our Won
Ierful western country and much to de

an address before dollar dinner given

good his charges of Republican extrava-

item in the appropriation bill of the
present year which should not have been
there.
The appearance of Mr.. Griggs was re-
garded with great interest because It
has been widely advertised that he will
undertake the task of answering for the
Republicans the arguments made by Mr..
Wilson. He declared that the Demo
cratic nominee was the ''decoy duck" of
Democracy. the clean man who was ex-
