" Valley of Democracy"
ScrlbMe1.'s

M MEREDITH NICHOLSON carries
AVA his explanation Of "The Valley of
Democracy still toward the setting sun.
His article, the fifth of the series, in
"Scribner's" for May, deals with "The
Middle West in Politics." There are
some interesting observations on oratory
and barbecues. For instance:
The West has never lost it's early ad
mlratlon for oratory, whether from the
hushngs, the pulpit, or the lecture plat
form. Many of the pioneer preachers
OF the Ohio Valley were orators of dis
tlngushed ability, and their frequent
JOINT debates on such subjects as pre-
destination and baptism drew great au-
dlenccs from the countryside. Both re-
ligious and political meetings were held
preferably out-of-doors, to accommodate
the crowds that collected from the far
scattered farms. A strong voice, a CON
hdent manner and matter so composed as
to hold the attention of an audience, which
would not hesitate to dispense if it lost

interest, were prerequisites of the success
1ul speaker. Western chronicles lay great
slress upon the oratorcal powers of both
ministers and politicians.
"The political barbecue, common in pio
neer days, is about extinct, though few
such gatherings were reported in the older
states of the Middle Wet in the last
campaign These functions, in the day of
poor roads and few settlements, were a
means of Turing voters to meeting with
the promise of free food; it was only by
such heroic feats Of cookery as the broil-
ing OF whole beef in a pit of Goals that
a crowd could be fed. The meat was like]v
10 be either badly burnt, or raw, but the
crowds were not fastidious, and swigs of
whlskey made it more palatable Those
were days of plain speech and hard hit
ting, and on such occasions orators were
expected to cut loose and hay the enemy
unsparingly.
Speakers of the rabble-rouser type have
passed out, though there are still orators
who proceed to burn the grass in the
old style in country districts where thew
are not in danger of being reported. This.
however, IS full of peril, as the farmers
credullty is not so easily played upon as
IN the old days before the r. f. d. box
was planted at his gate. The farmer is
the shrewdest. the most difficult, of audi
tors. He is little given to applause. but
listens meditatively, and is not easily to
be BETRAYED into demonstrations of ap-
proval. The orators chance of scoring a
mt before an audience of country folk
depends on his ability to state his case
with an appearance of fairness and to
sustain 1T with arguments presented in
simple, picturesque phraseology Nothing
could be less calculated to win the farmers
franchise than any attempt to play down
