A LARGE CROWD WAS PRESENT

Behold this nation at peace
millions of toilers and happy homes
with the family circle >unbroken.
When all of the turmoil and tribu-
1ation of this earth is over, and |
when we stand in the great white
light of the judgment dawn, there
will stand Woodrow Wilson with |
clean hands and clear conscience,
and the Master will say unto him: |
blessed are the peacemakers, for
they shall inherit the Kingdom of
Heaven. "-[Ollie James.
A steady rain fell throughout the
greater portion of Ohio and adjoin-
ing counties last Wednesday and
NEST of the night and consequently
there was not as large crowd at
the speaking of Senator Ollie James
here Thursday as. would have been
had the weather not been so inclem-
ent. There was also slight confu-
sion as to the exact time Mr.. James
would begin to talk which was
little disappointing to some few peo-
pie. After Senator James date was
given to the local committee, the
State Speakers Program Committee
made a date for him at Louisville
Thursday night, which necessitated
the beginning of his speaking a full
half hour before the time set, in or
der for the Senator to get to Beaver
Dam in time to catch train into
Louisville.
The large court room was pretty
we'll filled when Senator James be-
gan speaking, but by the time he
was half through the house was
crowded and many were standing at
the entrance. Senator James was
introduced by Hon. H. P. Taylor
with q few timely and we'll chosen
remarks. The Senator's time was
limited and he spoke only a little
over an hour.
Senator James said he we'll re-
members other days when he was
lire and the hearty welcome he re-
ceived from loyal Ohio county peo-
ple. The first part of his speech was
devoted to a well deservd eulogy OF
Congressman Ben Johnson. He said
If the people here knew Mr.. Johnson
as he knows him they would know
more perfectly the splendid duty our
Fourth District representative hasl
performed in Congress. The Sena'
tor said that of the hundreds of Con-
gressmen of his acquaintance, past
and present, Mr.. Johnson is one OF
the ablest and best. The record OF
Congressman Johnson, said the Sen
ator. stands out boldly for its yea
and fearlessness in the cause of the
people. The voters should return
Mr.. johnson. to Congress by splen
did majority, said Mr.. James, adding
that he felt personally interested In
the success of our very worthy rep
resentative.
Senator James then turned his at
tention to the Presidential race ant
pointed out the wonderful achieve
ments of Woodrow Wilson, assisted
by Democratic Congress. TIT
Democratic party was formerly &C
cused of being party of promises
but 1t has demonstrated that 1t is
party of achievements. The Repub
lican party promised to revise thu
tariff downward but failed and Sen
ator Dolliver (Republican) denounc
ed them for it. When the Demo
cratic party undertook revision o
the tariff they found lobbyists ev
crywhere in great numbers to hgn
for special interests. President VII
son put O. special committee on thei
trail and routed them. An equita
-ble tariff law was enacted by tn
democrats. 1t is an honest tarin
made by honest men for honest an
hard working people. Nobody dare
avail It. 1t protects no special In
tsSests and equalizes the burdens o
taxation among the whole people.
The Democrats have also passe
an Income Tax law. said Senate
james. which takes from the ia
boards of the rich that which shoul
70 to support government and by II
process takes a heavy burden fror
