referendum in the county. and

At the conclusion of the
senator's address it was evident

Speaks In Spanish
Justice of The Peace Enrique
Esquinaldo was next introduced
by Mr.. Trevor and Immediately
explained that he had been asked
to address the audience in Spanish
but believed that most of the
{ Spanish speaking people present
understood English, and the Eng
lish speaking people understood
Spanish.
However in Difference to those
who had asked he spoke in Span
ish, in part going over the same
ground which had been touched
on by the former speakers and
clarifying in Spanish those points
which could not be made clear to
those who did not understand
English perfectly.
i His talk was brief but his ex-
PLANTATION of the different issues

by the Spanish idioms in the use
/ of which Mr.. Esquinaldo is a mas

and Latins, for a strict adherence
to the ideals of democracy. and
for a vote of the straight demo

DIR. Warren Last Speaker
= Following Mr.. Esquinaldo, DIR.
VIM. r. Warren was introduced
as the last speaker of an evening
which had proven of deepest in
terest to a crowd whose attitude
throughout the evening indicated
a desire to learn of the many and
varied issues of this greatest and
most complicated national cam
paign in many years, and from
the remarks of many it was clear
that their desires had been salts
fled.
And had they not been salts
fled before the clarifying and
analytical exposition of the issues
as made by DR.. Warren simplified
the situation and made it clear to
/ his hearers that he was voting the
straight democratic ticket and
/ was convinced that it was the
duty of all other democrats to do
/ likewise.
The doctor has been heard on
many other occasions and has
been praised for former addresses
but no praise was ever so high
and thorough than given last
night at the close of one OF the
most intensely interesting short
talks ever made by DIR. VIM. r.
| Warren.
At the conclusion of the doe
tors talk Chairman Trevor ad-
vanced to the front OF the stage,
!. d;sregarding the naierophone and
intimately outlined his attitude
by naming the candidates on the
ballot for whom he intended TO
! cast his vote and needless to saw
that each name he called was that
of a nominee of the democratic
/, party. This brought to a close
one of the greatest and most COM
nletelv informative rallies ever
held in Monroe county in many
years
