 Flag? The Red. or The Red, White | and Blue? The crowd that filled the 1
 seating capacity of the church. vigor- !! 1 ously applauded the Seattle mans ! Amer 'canism sentiments laughed at | ' his witty touches and thoroughly en- ! joyed the easy conversational attitude 1
 which he assumed towards them, !! leaning easily with one hand on the i } back of chair, the other hand in his i pocket. To emphasize some of his l . points, he gesticulated freely and to- | wards the end of his two hour ad- l dress took seat, while he continued l talking. Once his voice got husky and : he took a drink of water: remarking ! that this was the first time his voice
 had troubled him in all his 78 1 speeches 'Im not after votes or looking for l s office and propo@e to tell the truth g , he declared, saying that he was speak 1 F ing for the great rank and file who do fair days work for a fair days
 pay. If The big audience enjoyed it when he said he proposed to follow Abra-
 ham Lincoln's advice of judging the , future bv what had happened in tl4s past which meant study story al- trough Henry Ford had declared that ! hi-IorV was all bunk 7 MT. Harson had much. 70 say about
 labor conditions but said he had aI-
 ways been a friend Of labor and had n been prese-ted a biz silver platter by 5 tre labor men of his state as mark of appreciation for what he had done C. for them.
