crowd at the court house at 7:30. Elk
Governor Dockery made the principal
address, at the conclusion of which he
announced that he was Methodist of
the old school and that the meeting
would now resolve itself into an old
fashioned Methodist meeting and the
first thing in order would be the TAX
ing up of collection, after stating
that the purpose of their visit was
a sort of collecting tour, and stat
ing that they deemed it better to raise
money for the state campaign direct
from the people and in this way they.
would in no way be under obligation
to the railroads and the trusts. $40
contributions were first called for,
with only two responses. SIS contrib
utors We're more numerous, but those
who were willing to let loose of ST
were in the majority. About s113
was raised and the county committee
| is expected to bring the amount up
| to 5000. Before the hat was pass
ed, Mr.. Dockery stated that President
Champ Clark would be distributing
postoffices and other federal jobs
after next March, and while the mat
ter of contributions would in no way
be bar to an applicant for job, it
might look better and have more
weight if the applicant was down for
a nice little sum. This statement
seemed to have the desired result and
the purse strings were at once open
ed, with the result as stated above
The meeting may be said to have been
success. The speakers took good
care to treat the opposition party
with marked courtesy, probably real
izing that they had troubles enough
of their own.
