JUDGE HULL GETS
BIG RECEPTION IN
FOURTH DISTRICT
Does Not Refer by Name to Opponent
in Canvass.

District, has just compleleut "hiA
wind campaign in Putnam County,
having snoken at 16 different places
since last Thursday afternoon, when
he began the tour with an address TO
crowded building at Sand Springs.
It is estimated by local Democrats
who have been accompanying him on
his campaign tour that in Putnam
County alone he has addressed fully
10000 people. Not in years has sucn
an intensive program been mapped
out and with ideal weather condl-
tions and a responsive spirit upon
the part of the rural electorate it may
he said that the methods adopted
have proved entirely satisfactory,
both to Judge Hull and those who
are devoting their personal attention
to the interests of his campaign.
One Of the biggest demonstrations
ever staged in the Fifteenth District
of this county occurred at Warren 5
Chapel Friday night upon the occa-
sion of Judge Hull's address there.
Although the chapel proper is little
more than a name and there is no
thicklv settled territory for miles
around. it is estimated that fully
200 voters, both men and women,
turned out and gave Judge Hull an
enthusiastic reception. The building
was not large enough to seat more
than half Of those VINO croWdeu
around, and many stood on the out
side and listened through opened
windows. Yesterday at Baxter and
at half a dozen other places, he was
enthusiastically received. At almost
all of the appointments, floral offer
ings have been presented on behalf
of the ladies, or in, the name OF rural
school children.
Judge Hull's address is entirely
free from the ordinary demagogy and
political clap trap. He begins with
a reference TO the responsibilities of
citizenship, and shows that by virtue
of an inexcusable Indifference upon
the part of the voters, men who are
not competent to understand the I'M
DERIVING principles of a free govern
ment. and candidates who have but
a scant knowledge of the science OF
legislation are frequently chosen as
Senators and representatives, with
the result that big business, through
it's lobbying agencies at Washington,
gains easy access to valuable conces-
sions that rightfully belong to the
government proper, and, in the last
ANALYSIS, to the people themselves.
He stated that the present Congress
has been the most incompetent leg1s-
lative body ever chosen since time
began, and that corruption had play
ed an important part in the expen-
! sive programs maintained.
The statement of Secretary Weeks
J to the effect that the present Con
gross had failed utterly and had
been a miserable middle was referred
to by Judge Hull, who stated that
the zeal backbone of the Republican
. organization was just as Disguised as
the Democrats, and at heart would be
glad to see the weaker and corrupt
element weeded out, even at the ex-
pense of Democratic substitutions
d, He said that he had no fight to make
{ against honest, conscientious, patri-
t otto Republicans other than in the
occasional disagreement with refer
ence of policies and principles, and
= that as a whole, the fight in all parts
of the nation is being waged upon 6
much Higher plane than that which
characterized the deceitful prop9 gan
da of the 1920 contests.
DOESN'T REFER TO CLOUSE.
At no period during Judge Hulls
address did he refer to Congressman
Tynne F. Clousn by name, put botf
by inference and through direct
Characterization of Clouse as my
opponent" he bitterly denounced
methods adopted by the Republican
candidate in the prosecution of his
campaign. He said that, ordinarily
in years gone by, it had been possible
to debate issues with Republican ad
versaries without descending to tht
low level of personalities, but tina
during the past two years his oppo
neht had employed such damagogic
contemplate methods that it was be
meath the dignity of respectable
man to reply to them, and that re
ply could not be written or uttered
with recourse to the same blather
skite tactics.
Referring to his declination t.
meet Congressman Clouse in joint de
bate, Judge Hull said that for the pas
seven or eight years he had been ac
cushioned to debating with real Re
publicans on the floor of Congress
some of the momentous questions be
fore the American people, and tina
