to Congress Who VIII Support Wilson.
BY GEORGE II. CLEMENTS.

MARATHON. Tex, June 10.-The
VI audience which greeted zach
Lamar Cobb, when he spoke here
Saturday night, was the largest
which ever greeted a political candi-
date for any office speaking in this
city. AZ Cobb spoke from the plat
form in front of the big building oc-
cupied by the Mcintyre Mercantile
company. Those who heard him dur
ing the nearly two and one half
hours he held their attention occu-
pied. for the most part, the so auto
mobiles parked in front Of the store,
while scores found seats on the side
walk in the immediate vicinity. The
presence Of so many automobiles
indicated that many of those who
heard the speech came from the cattle
ranches in the eastern and southern
sections Of Brewster county.
one Of the best evidences Of the in
terest Of the people in the message
which the congressional candidate
brought was the fact that the $50
men and women present sat q for
1ull is minutes at one time, during
the course Of Mr.. CObb's discussion
waiting for the passing Of a train
with a noisy locomotive, which had
stopped Immediately in front OF the
meeting place. Though the Interrupt
ton came after Mr. Cobb had been
speaking for an hour and a half. not
a person left his or her place but
waited for the conclusion Of the
speech

dience by W. A. Weakley, who had
served with the speaker Of the even
ing as one Of the delegates to the

which Mr.. Cobb made a winning
fight for the nomination OF W. r.
smith Of Colorado, for congress, a
circumstance 10 which both alluded
and referred to the fact that they
we're again lined UP together in a win
ming fight for q congressman in the
18th district Of Texas.
There are three great issues in

Cobb. Prohibition, woman suffrage

freedom OF the world and OF these
the greatest is loyalty 10 those upon

at this crucial time in the history
