k.-..s.-.....ss.----.s.l came as the adj
vance guard of
Democrats high in the counsels of the
administration, who are to speak in
this state.
Mr.. Malone, during the first ten
months after Mr. Bryans appointment
as secretary of state, was appointed
and served as assistant secretary of
state. He was then appointed by
President Wilson as collector Of the
port of New York, which office he now

Mr.. Malone, who is the son-in-law
of United States Senator German of
New York state, talked to a large and
enthusiastic meeting in Cohan's Grand
opera house, Chicago, before leaving
on his downstate tour. His speech
was as follows;
Il have today come into the state
of Illinois, not only to advocate and
to urge general support for the presi-
dent and his policies, but specifically
ton to advocate the election of Demo-
cratic congressman and the election

People Wanted Wrongs Riehted.

certain definite ailments, The Ameri-
can people believed that the remedy
for the high cost of living at least in
part, would be the reduction of the
high protective tariff. The American
people believed that the remedy, at

but to the treasury department of the
people of America. And so this cur

books.
Things Had to Be Done.
