SPEAKS.

IA
speech to the voters of Noxubes
n Monday morning in the court
house. He laid much stress or
y having been a country boy and
being a countryman now. He
o said his heart beat in unison with
: the great heart of the common
y people. AS the doctor, by his
!, own confession, has been in poll
tics since he was "a years old, it
( is not hard to believe that.by this
:; time his heart-throbs have, after
so many years Of training, at
last been taught to keep time
with the majority Of heart rt-beats.
which is standard time with Of
fice-seekers.
The speaker severely criticized
j Mr.. Gambler for having printed
, and sent out speeches he never
made in congress. Such an ar
gument was no compliment to
his hearers. It is we'll known
congress has not the time to hear
each congressman publicly ex-
press his views on public ques-
tions. But as it is important that
congressman go on record, and it
is due the people to know how
they Individually stand on public |
questions, it has long been the
custom, and it is a wise one, to
allow congressman a short time
to speak, generally five minutes,
and if he does not have time to
finish his remarks, he can have
his whole speech printed, though
only partially actually delivered.
This makes for publicity, which
Is good.
Doctor Broyles complained bit.
terly of Mr.. Gambler because he
did not come down and meet him
on the stump, although he had be.
sought him to do on bended knee. n
the doctor should thank his stars II
that Mr.. Gambler is detained at
Washington and not here to an
swer to his speeches. Mr.. Can.
dler is right in remaining In at
tendance in congress. A demo
cratic congressman who deserts his
post just at this time is guilty of
something like treachery.
Another grave cause of com.
plant registered against Mr., Can.
dler was that Gambler did not get
out of Broyles' way because twelve
years ago Broyles got out of Can.
dler's way. 1t is pretty weak ar
yument that treats place in con.
gress as matter of barter be-
tween two men-a thing to be 9
1ealt with in an Alphonsonian.
Gastonian way. p
He stated that if Gambler could I;
prove that he had voted against ~ -
