The meeting today was attended by
between $50 and 175 persons, al
though Blease's coming had been
widely hearalded. Reports were also
current on the streets that the county
had been circuit ridden by Blease
leaders in an effort to stage a widely
enthusiastic demonstration. 1t was
also emphasized here this afternoon
that many of Bleases most ardent
supporters in the county had chang
ed from their former political align
ment and were not present today.
Mr.. Blease got a round OF applause
when he was introduced and also al
the conclusion of his speech, but the
Mahaffey "clincher" neutralized much
OF the probable sentiment and the
consensus OF opinion in York tonight
Is that the Blease demonstration was
as ineffective as {. smoke bomb.
In explanation of the newspaper ac-
count of his Filbert speech as pub
lished here Mr.. Blease said:
Il, at Filbert, was repeating my
Pomaria speech in which I said that
/ believed that President Wilson and
the members of congress who voted
for the war would be held responsible
for every American life that was lost
in 1t, and il my soul is to be lost l did
not care what kind of an America

and neither does your boy. The young
man who reported that speech got o.
part Of what l said and got it cor
rectly, but he did not take all Of my
speech and no sensible man could ex.
pect him to take it. Those who for a
malicious purpose took part of his re-
port and condemned me for it, lied
and knew they lied"
