OUR STANDARD

The mere purchase Of a mod

and the payment of taxes with

the whole duty of an American

Something far deeper, fur

When city people help farmers

Nation.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1918-09-17

A man of rare eloquence, preach
er, lecturer, orator, humorist-a rare
combination of all the qualities that
audiences demand in a speaker these
days-this is DR.. Madison Swadener
of Indianapolis, who will speak in
this State in the interest Of the great
campaign for nation wide Prohibi
ton.
For many years DR.. Swadener was
in the Methodist Episcopal pastorate
and while so engaged filled the pull
pits of some of the largest churches
in the Middle West AS an evan
gelist he was eminently successful,
and he has been a familiar figure on
the Chautauqua platform.
When he went into the work of
temperance reform he took with him
all the worth of previous experience
in meeting and moving men and
women. He has been quite as sue
cessful as a special pleader for Pro-
hibition as he was in the pulpit and
on the lecture platform.
Dr. Swadener is not only man of
striking ability as an orator and pre-
senter of facts and logic, but nature
has been kind to him. and he is a
man of fine personal appearance, and
of keen, penetrating glance. Essen
TALLY he is an optimist, a man Of
cheerful. clean humor, who can en-
joy good hearty laugh and who, at
will. makes his hearers grave or gay.
Newspapers in every section of the
United States speak very highly of
this Hoosier orator and reformer. 1t
is declared of him that his lectures
sparkle with wit and humor of the
highest. cleanest and most inspiring
order. and that they are filled with an
abundance OF good, hard, common
sense.
Dr. Swadener never abuses. A for
midable foe of the liquor traffic in
state and nation he is, at the same
time fair minded, kindly and consid
crate, and the only thing at which he
strikes is evil as he sees it. 1t is the
institution and not the man that DR..
Swadener opposes.
There may be those in his audi
ences who will not agree with all
that DIR. Swadener says. but they will
all give him Acknowledgement Of
fairness. impartiality and fearless
ness. while all who do agree heartily
with what he says will say also that
there is no more effective speaker in
America. for the cause Of Prohibition
than he.
AS an evangelist and temperance
reformer he is known nationally for
messages of inspiration and his influ-
ence is quickening the awakened
conscience of the public along the
lines Of social and civic righteous
ness.

gu, secretary for India. and Baron

The proposed government would consist

and a council OF princes. Increased re-
sponsibility would be given the pro-
vinces.
