The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1914-11-03

Weakened by the strain Of speak
4 ing six consecutive nights in differ
ent cities OF the state, United States
Senator Nathan Cor suffered a par
tial breakdown when in the midst OF
his speech before the largest crowd
that ever attended political rally
in Harrison county in the Robinson
Grand theater Monday night, and the
meeting was forced to adjourn.
Thousands, who packed every nook
and corner of the theater. cheered
the most beloved man in West Viz
GINA to the echo as he gamely stuck
to his post, refining blow after blow
upon the fallacies of Democracy, al
ter having partly fallen once. Anx-
ious as it was to hear what the judge
said sis the last message shall give
: to you" the crowd was fearful for
the Judges health and shouted for
him to sit down. The speaker reas-
sured his audience with smile and
said "I'm slightly disfigured but still
in the ring" This bit of humor was
responded to by wild cheering that
bordered on pandemonium, as the
crowd realized that this was the
same plucky Golf, who had spoken to
them from the hastings decades ago
and who was now, although past
mans allotted three score and ten
years. still preaching the same prin-
ciples that Abraham Lincoln babe
him 90 forth and preach to the peo-
ple Of West Virginia fifty years ago
the principle OF protection for
American industries.
The crowd was the most magnifi-
cent gathering that ever assembled
to hear political speaker in Har-
rison county and every Republican
present. after hearing the wild out
bursts of applause that followed the
Judges severe arraignment Of the
Democratic party, was sure that
when the ballots are counted tonight
victory will again rest with the party
of Lincoln.
The monster gathering was also
fne tribute to Senator Golf; another
testimonial of how he Is loved by the
people OF West Virginia, a tremend-
Gus assemblage OF whom eagerly took
the opportunity Of hearing the patri-
,,tic message OF their beloved fellow
townsman.
Long before time for the meeting
To start the spacious theater was
hacked to the doors and the crowd
was beginning to take its place
against the walls. A special train
brought 1900 voters and number
of women from Weston. They were
accompanied by band end paraded
the principal streets of the city, max
ing an excellent showing with red
Are and floats for White for Con-
eress" galore. When they arrived
at the theater they were unable to
get within several feet Of the front
door as steady stream Of humanity
was already returning, unable to gain
entrance. The Lewis delegation was
sent to the stage door. Every piece
Of scenery was taken down and they
crowded upon the stage and yet
hundreds Of their party could not get
inside.
The meeting was called to order
by Roy E. Parrish, Republican can
didate for the State Senate, who
named w. n. Taylor as chairman.
The chairman in a few words I'm
troduced the speaker as 'the great
est gift Of God Almighty to the peo>
ple OF West Virginia." The crowd
literally went wild as the little giant
of Republicanism rose to deliver his
message to his fellow townsmen.
At the outset 1t was seen that the
speaker was laboring under great
strain as his voice was weak and his
legs unsteady. His hands quiveredI
as he raised them in the air In ges-
ticulating.
The speaker referred to the great
