The Auditorium was engaged last
Saturday evening by Socialist speakers
from PaIalka for public meeting, but
when the hour arrived for the meeting
and no one appeared the speakers de-
clded that if the voters wouldn't come
to hear the gospel that the gospel
should be taken 10 them; the speakers
therefore took up a position in the
street in front of the poStoffice, where
the meeting was opened by Chester
l'air the local socialist, who, after a
lew eloquent but brief remarks, intro
duced Mr.. brennan, candidate for the
legislature, who made a brief address.
tie was followed by G.. A LeHardy of
PaIatka, the head and front of the
socialist movement in the county and
who is "hot stuff" LeTIardy is not
only socialist, but he is a contortonist
as well; he grabbed the whole federal
system of the fathers by the tail and by
the def movement of his tongue tore il
into ShrcdS, and then took the bird of
freedom which Thomas Jefferson had
nurIurcd and raised TO place of |
in the roost of nations and
made ii look like a chicken with the
pipS. According TO his talk the coun-
Try was on the tobboggan and there
was no means at hand for saving il
from sliding into hell but the socialist
party, a party composed of born patriots
10 whom the science of government
was as an abandoned primer. About a
dozen men Squatted about on the
groung and heard LeIIardy'S speech.
