together with number OF other
members OF the party travelling on
the Dry Special arrived in La
Junta shortly after l o'clock Tues
day afternoon from the south. The
party was taken at once to the court
house park where brief addresses
were made by the candidates. The
special is making a complete tour
OF the country and the party will
travel 10000 miles before election
day.
Mr.. Hanley, who served as COVER
nor of Indiana for four years, is
very serious and forceful talker,
and held the close attention of the
crowd of about 200 that had gath
cred around the band stand. Mr..
Hanley's remarks were directed
against both the republican and
democratic candidates for president
and vice president for apparently
approving the partnership that ex-
listed between the government and
the greatest racial evil that ever
cursed a nation or damned people.
And the democratic candidate
for vice president is even worse. As
governor of Indiana he sent an ex-
ecutive message to the general as
sembly imploring II to repeal the
county local option law under
which seyenty-two counties out of
the ninety-two In the state had voted
dry and eliminated 5000 saloons. on
the ground that AS governor OF the
state he was unable to enforce the
law.
Upon his recommendation the
law was repealed and 1000 licensed
saloons returned To the state. There
is blood on his hands. A damned
spot that will not out"
Mr. Landrith, a southerner, and
the humorist of the party, made a
brief address In which he alleged
that most of-thrn orthern states were
now afflicted with a greater curse
than slavery was to the south. He
gloried In the fact that most of the
south was now dry territory. and
that his people were about To de-
clare war of ballots on the north
IN an effort to brins about the
same conditions here. Back ia the
COS you Horthcrners infringed upon
our personal liberty by making us
give up slavery. and We now pro-
pose TO retaliate by infringing upon
your personal liberty and make you
