olate the rights Of the states as re- served to the states under the con- stitution of he United Saes. This was as near a discussion of the foreign
 policy of the present government as Senator Smith ever got.
 Chairman Geary of the corporation
 commission spoke next to the topic, Liberty" He admitted that this topic was assigned to him, but the closest of his auditors failed to hear him refer directlyto to that sacred sub ject during the entire time he was | speaking. He did, however, refer to
 the Jeffersonian doctrine that The 1 best governed country is that having
 the fewest laws"
 Reese M. Ling followed MT. Geary
 He excused himself by saying that he had been uncomfortable all evening
 thinking of what he was going to say, l but before he had been speaking three
 minutes he drew directly upon the
 prepared manuscript where he had penned what he was going to say, and from that time on dwelt in de-
 fense of the present administration in
 an able manner, excepting, however | that he did not touch upon the mat
 ter of the canal tolls. even though he did recently get his picture in coast paper in the act of making speech
 upon that very burning question. One
 particularly expressive and fOrceful
 phrase that came from MT Ling dur | ing the course of his deliverance was
 Not on the deeds of the past can
 the democratic party expect to be kept 1 in power" which was received in si- lence, many of those present remem
 bering that it was the glory of the past the gathering was celebrating.
 Later on he spoke of President Wood
 row Wilson. the topic assigned to
 him, and referred in guarded way
 to "justifiable differences of opinion" As in the case of Senator Smith,
 when the applause for the speech had died down, more people left. for the hour was growing late. Postmaster | Cole here reversed the order and called next upon Mrs. Eugene Brady l O'Neill to tell of "The Democratic
 Women in Politics." which she did in i
 women. many of whom had been pres ent all evening, to join the political | clubs with the men. She told the au-
 dience that Jefferson repeatedly spoke
 of universal suffrage" in his writings
 and suggested that good democrats
 can easily solve the suffrage question 1 by following that advice and making the suffrage universal in the states
 that are ont yet so blessed.
