At a recent gathering OF the NC
Creary Club of Hartford, which
meets every Thursday night at
Democratic headquarters In the
front rooms over the drug store of
the Hartford Drug Co., 1t was sug-
gested that the Democrats of Ohio
county have an all-day rally at
Hartford at some near date in the
future. 1t didn't take long for mat
tiers to take shape. A motion was
made and carried that petition be
prepared to the Democratic State
Executive Committee at Louisville,
asking for notable speakers and re-
questing a date which would best
suit circumstances here.
1t was agreed that the speakers
asked for should be Gov. Jas. B.
McCreary, Hon. A. o. Stanley, Hon.
Ben johnson and Hon. John Rhea,
and the date for the rally set for
Thursday, October -. A few days
later two Democrats from Hartford
went to Louisville, visited Demo-
cratic headquarters, bearing the
letter of request, and were assured
that the Democrats of Ohio county
would certainly receive due consid-
Grafton in the matter. Within a
few days thereafter a letter was
received here by County Chairman
G. B. Likens, giving the glad infor-
nation that the full request would
be granted, both as to speakers and
date, and that arrangements could
be made accordingly. The affair
then became a certainty and the
public can rest assured that no de-
tail will be lacking to make it the
grandest political event that ever
transpired in the county. DEM
ocrats from this and adjoining coun-
ties can meet and mingle together
and be RECALLED with oratory from
some of the most noted speakers OF
the country. Besides Messrs. NC
Creary, Stanley, Johnson and Rhea,
there will in all likelihood be other
noted personages and orators pres
ent, and It will be a time of general
good cheer and rejoicing, long to
be remembered.
The rally will begin early and
last all day and there will probably
be people here from twenty miles
mound. A free barbecued dinner
will be served to the crowd, and the
!, grounds will be prepared to enter
tain many thousands. 1t is in
tended to make 1t grand love-
feast. and memorable day In ev-
cry. respect. There will be speak
ing both In the morning and after
noon by the gentlemen mentioned
and perhaps others.
At a meeting of the McCreary
Club last Thursday night the letter
from the Executive Committee at
Louisville was read and the body
