SPEAKING AT MARLINTOh--ECHOlS DIS
C0MF0RTED.

Democrats and Republicans held
Joint political meeting at Marlin
ton Tuesday. Mrs. Frank y. Mann.
Mr.. KoontZ and Senator Chiffon APP
pearinS for the Democrats; Con-
gressman Echols, John.C. Bond and
Judge Morgan, for the Republicans.
Mrs. Mann who. we hear. is an
admirable speaker. lead off the
three-hourS debate in an address
which left fine impression. She
was followed by Mr.. Bond, Rcpub-
llcan candidate for Auditor. Then
came Arthur b. KoontZ, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor:
Congressman l.. S. EcholS. former
Senator w. Z. Chilion and Judge
Z. r. Morgan, Republican candidate
Tor Governor, in the order men
toned.
The '""''''n of Nations and the
conduct of the war by the United
States were the principal subjects
discussed by the speakers.
Congressman -Echols, who sub
mtted mass of statistics OH alleg-
cd war waste and eXtravagances, -
was placed at a decided disadvan-
tage through the reply of Senator
Chiffon. When asked several di-
rect questions by the latter, the Con-
gresham from the eighth district
took refuge i'll a faulty memory. He
was questioned as to his attitude
and vote on the farm loan bill, and
replied that he "could not remem-
ber." One farmer auditor broke
lnto the debate at this point and
stated that in Pocahonas county
alone 100000 had been loaned to
the farmers under this beneficicnt
legislation.
Our information is that not only
Mr.. Echols but Senator lIardinn
both voted against the Farm Loan
Dill enacted. into law by a Demo-
cratic Congress in aid of the farm
ers. of the country and this wise
law, attesting the, progressive spirii
or the Democracy, is now bringing
and will continue to bring, results
OF great benefit to the country Mt
