Observation-Disclosures Valley
View Has to Say About 1t

Democratic Club of Valley View has!
arranged and advertised by printed
hand bills democratic speaking at
the Valley View school house, and had |
assigned Col. Ripy, of Lawrenceburg, |
Hon. o. P. jackson and Mrs. G. S.
Holton, and others to speak at 7
o'clock last night When the speak |
ers arrived at about five minutes of
seven, one of the trustees of the
school, who happened to be repub-
ican, informed them that there We're
some republican speakers coming tc |
make it joint meeting. The speakers
delayed about thirty minutes in order
to make arrangements for a division
of time, but the republicans did not
come during that time, and it was
thought best to begin the meeting
Hon. John holland opened the meet
ing with speech of about forty
minutes. After he began speaking
Mr.. Lucien Burnam, chairman Of the
republican campaign, came with A
r. Burnam, Jr., and a stranger, 2
Mr.. Ryan, who it was afterwards
learned was a gentleman from Indi-
ana, and was introduced as an ex-ser
vice man.
Mr. holland expressed his pleasure
that they were there and said that he
would divide the time in order to give
the representatives of the opposite
party an opportunity to present their
views of the issues. MI. Noland's
speech was a clean, clear cut, intel
ligent discussion of the issues entered
into by the democratic administration
by the Treaty of Peace of Versailles
and a clear instructive explanation
and defense Of the covenant of the
League of Nations, and an appeal to
the women voters to respond to ti1eil
duties and the obligation imposed
upon them by supporting Cox and
Roosevelt in order that there may be
ratification of the treaty of the
League of Nations. His speech was
we'll received and at the close he
was followed by Mr.. Ryan, who spoke
! about forty minutes. and although
well educated and intelligent young
man, he presented the usual stock ar
guments against the League of Ma
| tions and stated that his party was
opposed to it for the reasons that it
would involve US in future wars. He
INDUCED in the usual misrepresenta-
tons to which the republicans resort
in order to make any sort of an argu-
ment against the ratification of the
covenant of the League of Nations.
He had the respectful attention of
the crowd and was courteously treat
ed during his address.
At the close of his speech, Hon. o
/ p. jackson, who had been advertised
to deliver the main address, had q
copy of the League of Nations in his
| hand and had an answer for everv
statement made by the gentleman
who spoke before him, and proceeded
to completely answer every pretend
ed argument the gentleman had
made.
| Mr.. Jackson's speech was full of
humor and jokes, his Illustration
were received with universal applause
and it was clearly shown from The
applause given Mr.. Jackson's speech
| that it was a democratic meeting as
advertised and that the democrats of
Valley View are thoroughly aroused
! When the audience broke up there
were as many shouts for Jackson as
there We're for Cox and Roosevelt and
little Valley View was resounding with
democratic yells when he finished his
speech.
As Mr.. Jackson finished speaking.
the rumor had gotten out that there
was also a republican speaking and
the negroes began pushing in the
!, doors, so the democratic women
thought it best to let the republicans
have the floor
Mr.. Jackson, in finishing, told the
women the Importance of their voting
and the duties of mothers to vote fol
the League of Nations.
Mr.. A. R. Burnam spoke only g
short time as the hour was late.
The democratic women who had ar
ranged this meeting, were very much
pleased with the outcome and they
feel that it will do more good to help
roll up an unprecedented majority in
Valley View and vicinity than any,
thing that could have possibly hap
pened in the campaign.
