was fairly well attended and the
speech created great deal of in
terest on the part Of those who were
fortunate enough to hear the speaker
Mr.. Pickett enjoys the reputation
of being one of the finest platform
speakers in the state and if his repu-
tation as an orator depends alone up
OF the effort he made in his speech on
Friday night no one can be disposed
to question his reputation. His dis
cussicn of the political issues of the
campaign was vigorous and yet an
alytical and thorough. He made no
attack either upon the democratic ad-
ministration or the democratic party,
but he did point out wherein the pol
icies of the democratic party had
failed and was able to show that the
country has suffered and is suffering
in consequence of Wilson's election to
office. While he did not contend that
all of the evil results of the applica-
ton Of democratic principles have as
serted themselves, he made it clear
that we are on the way to genuine
democratic times which means money
stringency, labor out Of employment
and general hard times.
Mr.. Pickett will always be sure OF
q good audience when he comes to
Denison to make political speech.

the editor of the West Side Journal,
had severed his connection with the
bull moose party because. Colonel
Roosevelt had taken up prohibition
as one OF his latest political fads.
The rumor was current in the com
munity that Max Hueschen was a
man without a party since Roosevelt
had declared himself in his speech in
Ohio in favor of prohibition.

prohibition movement, as we see 1t, is
not only infringing upon personal
rights. but il is the biggest fraud ever
staged before the American people.

are fighting this great fraud
The editor roars vociferously be-

question of so much importance
as prohibition and they find they can
not belong to the same political party,

solve their relations and there is no
occasion for either one of them abus-
