A wonderful talker, convincing in
her sincereity, exalted in her ideals
and presenting her audience with IT.
REPUTABLE arguments, she held the
crowd enthralled during her adj
dress. s
Mrs. Martin warned her audience
OF the danger and fallacy of voting
for the man" rather than to align
with q political party, pointing ont
the TACT that the best man in the
world can be controlled as an official.
by his party, and that only by, party
can the great moral re-
forms be accomplished. In this con-
nection she said that she had iden-a
titled herself with the Democratic
party because the Democratic party
had always been the party of pro-
gress, idealism and reform. and
pointed out that it has been the party
Of the people rather than the party
of the interests.
Calling attention to the fact that
she was originally supporter of Nc
Adoo for president and as a delegate
to the National Convention cast her
vote for him fortyfour times. she
gave Governor Cox her hearty, un-
qualified Endorsement and paid him
d glowing tribute. Mrs. Martin |
called attention to the attempt made
by the Republicans to classify Cox as
4 wet and denounced the charge in
no uncertain terms. She pointed to
Governor Cox's official record forI
aw enforcement and good govern
nent and then called attention to the.1
:act that Senator Harding at nearly
very opportunity had cast his vote
With the vets and only voted for the
submission of the 18th amendment |
when its passage seemed assured.
She also reminded her audience that
Senator Harding introduced the rider
Uniting the time for the ratification
If the Prohibition amsddment, and
laid that it was the hope of the liquor
interests that the time limit would
lapse before it could be adoped.
Probably half of Mrs. Martins
arge audience were women and their
iearty applause indicated their con-
idence in Mrs. Martin and their en-
husiastic agreement with her argu-
nehts.
