Danville, O., Oct. 2S-The twin ci'
ties have not had a more successful
rally, Democratic or Republican, than
that held here last night when Hon.
A. =. Sandles of Ottawa, former secre-
tary of the state agricultural board,
addressed most enthusiastic and re-
sponsive audience on the political is
sues of the day in speech which,
from a standpoint of real information
and from q standpoint of subtle hum
or, sent the crowd away with such ex-
pressions as that's fine" the best
I ever heard" and the like on their
lips.
Farmers from the surrounding com
munity we're present. In the crowd
there were a number of Republicans
who intend to vote for Woodrow Will

pressed by what Mr.. Sandles, or as he
is commonly known, put" had to say.

the farmers institute in the afternoon
and his night meeting was, accord
ingly, we'll advertised. During the time
intervening between the afternoon
and the night gatherings, he spent his
time rubbing elbows with the citizens
Of this place and talking with them
upon subjects of mutual interest.
Accordingly, when he started in on
his speech at night, after being very
ably presented by DR.. j @, Winterrin.

people OF this place much to his lik.

relatives here and naturally exper'
iences an "at home" feeling whenever
