enthusiastic effort on the part Of re-
liubilcans throughout the nation.

notable event The little city OF
Marion was literally packed to It's ut
most capacity. There were not less
than twenty thousand visitors who
came from all parts of the nation ana
from all points OF the compass. Fully
SIX thousand people were packed into
the limited seating space to hear the
candidates speech of acceptance. The
marching clubs were noisy in their en-
thusiasm. In fact I have never wit
messed an event In connection with
politics or otherwise that carried 80
strongly and forcibly the element Of
wholesome. spontaneous enthusiasm.
