Midway Theatre Saturday to
large and attentive audience up
on the political issues of the day.
Mr.. Mosher is an eloquent and
forcable speaker. A number of
county candidates were present
and occupied seats on the stage.
G. r. Hawkins, AL Schwartz,
Henry Howell, Alex Mcmillan,
Assessor w. e. Ball any Mayor
Bensell. Will e. Gwynn acted
as chairman of the meeting.
The County candidates were in
troduced first, wearing their
best smiles and made little
speeches, promising 20 do their
duty if elected. Mr.. Mcmillan
took the blue ribbon for poise
and beauty. He is surveyor
and the youngest member of the
lot. The speaker of the even
ing was then introduced amidst
a round of applause. Mr.. Mo-
sher has the facilities of pre-
senting what has to say in a
very clear impressive manner,
so everyone can understand it.

dead past. AS one has said the
Democratic party is like a man
riding in a wagon backwards,
never sees anything till it is past.
We need push, progress and
more patriotism. The Mexican
muddle was discussed and it was
plainly shown that President
Wilson instead of keeping us
