large crowd of friends of Irish Free

The feature of the evening was an
address on ireland and Democracy
by the president, D. c. 0'Flaherty who
said:
''irelands fight for freedom. should

similarity TO Americas cause in "7s .

and you strike the strongest blow for
Ireland's freedom, for as the day fol-

triumph, If AmericanisDl prevails
Selfdetermination has been accomp-
ilshed in Ireland, for in the last cleo
ton. ninety per cent OF the electorate
voted for complete independence a
majority never attained by any move
ment in this county. that was put to

Speaking in regard 10 the various
objects 10 Irelauds cause the presi-
