to come, Solicitor General John w. Da.
Wis being numbered among those ex.

arrive.
That is, there were to be other
speakers. but, MIR. Symes, became so
enthusiastic over the glories OF the
present administration, the god.like
qualities Of the leader of the party,
Democratic prosperity, etc., etc., that
no one else had chance to talk.
Mr.. Symes has also been speaking
in Maryland where the Democratic

and where that is not manifest there
are bad breaches existing between
state and city organizations. MIR.

WE HAVE THEM HERE TOO

"Oh, what lot of men there are
Who, when they drive motor car,
Let reason topple from its throne,
And sanity depart.
They use good judgment everywhere
Save on busy thorofare,
And seem to be obsessed by speed
When once their engines start.
'Tis something that I can't explain
Why one, to all appearance, sane,
Should try to do the things he knows
Mean death and endless woe,
Why should man be considered wise
With grim death right before his eyes
Become the fool, and into it
Deliberately goY"
