The man or woman who has heard
the matchless oratory of Robert G..
Cousins, formerly of Audubon. never
forgets that he is one OF the few
great speakers in the United States.
The scene in congress when he deliv-
cred his Grafton on the sinking of the
Maine is historic Members of that
body were in a frenzy, as used as
they were to good speaking; they had
heard nothing like it in the halls of
congress in many years. And now
Mr.. Cousins is again speaking
throughout the country in war work
and all the old time eloquence and
fire is in his words. He has been re-
tired for years, just speaking occa-
sionally. But the war has awakened
in him new spirit. and he is more
eloquent than in the old days. There
is but one Bob Cousins and we doubt
very much whether this nation has
another his equal as an orator.
