the day, the first having been made at
Rockford
The high school auditorium was
crowded to it's greatest capacity, peo-
pie from all the surrounding country
having come to hear the speaker. The
students of the high school also were
members of Mr.. Hendersons audience
Mr.. Henderson made the strongest ad-
dress he has delivered since he began
his campaign, and he was given warm
applause during the course of his re-
marks.
His audience made it evident that it
was anti-Comer. The speaker was in
troduced by James NJ. Parker of Equal
ity who paid Mr.. Henderson a high
tribute as an official and as a gentle-
man. "A few days ago." said Mr.. Par
ker, I'VE heard a speech by Mr.. Co
mer He told you what he would do IL
you gave him Conner legislature. I
want to introduce to you a man who
Will not be dependent upon his legis-
lature to accomplish what he promises"
Mr.. Henderson at once launched into
the issues of the campaign. He de-
clared for more efficient administra-
tion of governmental affairs and prom
ised to exert every effort at his COM
mand to bring about that condition. He
called attention to the efforts of GER
tain of Mr.. Comer's followers to con-
troll the action of the state democratic
executive committee which recently
met at Montgomery "One of the prin-
eiples of the democratic party is local
self government" declared Mr. Hender-
son, ''yet a certain coterie attempted to
cast aside that time honored ideal mt
the recent meeting of the executive
committee because one of the candi-
dates for governor was opposed to it."
Mr.. Henderson made a strong impress
sion upon the voters of Equality, and
while he did not speak longer than an
hour, gave a clear and fair description
of certain conditions which confront
the state today. He deplored the ten
dency towards extravaganza placed the
blame for that condition on Mr. Conner
and promised to follow a more eco
| nomical system If elected to the office
of governor.
