boat Named by Bailey

Attorney Ben G. Hilliard, who has
been termed as the "Abarham Lincoln
Of the west both on account OF his per-
sonal appearance and because OF his dry
sarcastic witticisms, addressed the
meeting at the Centeral Business col
lege following the talk made by Arnold.
As is usual with Hilliard when making
speech, he kept his listeners in con-
tinual roar Of laughter, and his stinging
condemnations OF the administration
had the more effect because of his sar-
castle redicule.
"I speak tenderly OF Speer, as one
aught to speak of the dead" said Hill
lard. "But Bob is not standing on the
bridge OF his ship of corrupt govern
ment as the captain OF ship aught to
be. He knows the ship is sinking, but
like the cowardly paltroon he is, he has
placed Hunter to go down with the ship

where does Speer get his character?

body's record? 1t is the luckiest thing
in the world for him that no one is
taking the trouble to look up his record.

ly charged for rcementlbridges, Allen Car

commend the Hon. j. E. Ferguson,
District Attorney for this district, for
his efforts in the same behalf. 1t may
be mere coincidence, OF course, but
this convention does not lose sight of

Democrat, nor the further fact that
during the incumbency OF b. q. Hill
lard, another democrat, as County At
torney, it was never necessary to invoke
the District Attorney in Counly affairs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in
the sense of this convention that there
Is, at least, one public official in Elbert
County. who, in view OF his connection
with the letting of the contract for
building cement bridges in the County,
aught to follow the salutary example of
the County Commissioner of w g d
Count, who resigned the office which
he disgraced; disgrace, by the way,
eliminating over the building of cement
bridges, and. strangely enough, through
the instr1mentality Of the same con-
tractor who is seeking to take Ebert
County's money.
On The National Issues
Be IT RESOLVED, that the delegates
this day selected to attend the State
Convention at Colorado Springs, be, and
they are hereby instructed to vote first,

dent, but also to vote in the State Con-
vention for resolution instructing the
