The Glenwood post., 1914-10-24

Elect me to show your approval of
the Wilson administration, was tn,
nsia thought which characterized th.,
talk by Thomas NJ. Patterson here the
other night. He dwelt long and loud
o. the present Wilson administration,
but forgot to mention very much re-
gafding our own state affairs and the
disrepute into which our state has
fallen Is result of Democracy's atti-
tuAs toward the things which make a
state or nation great.
Mr.. Patterson, Mr.. Tobin and Mr..
Keaehan were here to enlighten the
voters on the questions of the day.
Senator Napier was spokesman of the
evening and, with few words, intro
daced the speakers to the 200 or 300
gathered to hear the flowery tongue.
which tongue has lost its cunning be.
cause of, as Mr.. Patterson said during
IL day, "Ny memory is not as good
~ 1t used to be; it il one Of the pen
alties Of not dying young.''-

II. Tobin visited Carbo.dsle a.d the
Bearing Fork valley and were thus
givss the opportunity of seeing the
wonderful crops produced by our farm
ers and, in the evening at the opening
Of his talk, Mr.. Tobin made the fol-
lowing admission: "After visiting
your Roaring Fork valley, l am force
to admit that Gene Grubb told the
truth about your potatoes. You have
us beaten This was a great admis-
sion from the gentleman from Mont
rose and adds another victory to our
already long string.
Mr.. Patterson was, of course. the
main speaker of the evening. In
opening he referred to the hospitality
extended him by Senator Napier of
this city, which proves that even in
defeat Garfield county knows the duty
Of host and will carry out that duty
no matter how unpleasant the ordesl
may be in certain instances.
Mr.. Patterson devoted the greater
part Of his time in praising the Wilson
administration. True, he failed to
mention the "war tax" which is be-
ing put upon the country by the Demo.
Gratis he failed to mention the fact
that On that very day = group of Demo
cratic senators from southern states
together with the Republicans were
fighting tooth and toenail for Democ.
