hit the nail squarely on the head.
Almost the first sentence of his ad-
dress was firm but dignified arraign-
ment of Garfield county for her lethar-

making the very serious mistake Of
overlooking this most important mat

mistake and at her great cost. They
are always appointing publicity com
mittees on which there is not single
newspaper man and they pay dearly
for their foolishness. This is a far
more serious mistake than you can pos
