makes one feel that the American politician developing ho
the American statesman that there is high hope for tne
ture of American institutions that the new DAY OF WHICH "
have heard and read so much is bright with dawn
Mr.. Ferris probably did not win many Votes oS MS '

through the sevenyseven counties of the great state OIL
hcma he most surely will win great many Vo1es WHICH

Scott Ferris gives the impression ceanness He is
clean in personal appearance and in speech. His talk was
puncuated here and there with humor but of
sort employed by too political speakers. MOI
it too gently adyke for ordinary human consumption
His Jokes illustrated his points without offending hearers
For stump speaker to sail upon keel that direc
ton difficult thing but Scott Ferris knows how to steer
safe
Altogether the talk made by Scott Ferris was winner
1t looks to us like Scott Ferris himself winner We know
his tweveyear record in the lower house almost as gooc
the weadversed soap which 80 44OO per cent pure
If he keeps making talks like the he made in Ardmore
he will have chance to achieve at the other end O.
the Capitol in Washington, just the other side of the supreme
court where the gods calling men as Scott Fer
