political Spa, >, even. Although the
county committee had sent him into a
rural district to try out his oratorical
wings, he was encouraged by the warm
welcome of the local committee and
the elaborate preparations Cor the
meeting that were evident on all sides.
There was even band that played on
the stand in the public square for half
an hour before the speech. Finally the
great moment arrived. The chairman
stepped to the platform rail and ad-
dressed the crowd.
"Fellow citizens" he said, 1--WE have
with us today young man who is des-
tined to make his mark In the ranks of
our party. He comes to tell us of the
burning issues that confront us. and
his fame as an orator has preceded

wien he has finished the band will call
you together again. Youths Com
