Tho Eleventh wnrd meeting was
held on tho outside OF the clubhouse
and despite the cold night air and the
frost laden wind sweeping over the

the clubhouse and had n friendly talk
with the voters there.
! The farce of the Republican rule of
the nation. was the subject of MIR,
Bayard's address which received the

number OF whom were known Rcpub-

understand the conditions of tho gov
ernment under which they were llv-
ing. shouted their approval.
Virtually every statement made by
orators of the Republican party en-
deavoring to show what good the
party has done for the nation were
refuted by MIR. Bayard. with undeni-
able statements and flgures. which
were understandable by every one.
Continuing, he pointed out the vast
difference In ideals between President

plans for the nations bettermen
might be carried out. he addressed hi
appeal IN an open letter To the peopl.
