only panaceas the Republicans had
to offer for any and all ills within
the past fifty years.

laughter, then broke into applause
and there were cries of "Davis
Davis, he's all right"
Scattering applause greeted the
presentation by Mr.. Davis of each OF
the seven planks of his farm relic,
program but when, stamping his
loot, he declared that if elected he
proposed to put it into effect with
the aid of a Democratic congress
there was an outhurss of cheering.
When Mr.. Davis came to the con
clusion and struck directly at tho
responsibility of the president to Civ
the people government honest al
the way through" he brought al
most continuous applause. When
hoar, the crowd was on it's feet
clapping and applauding.
