"The highest compliment that can

Mr. Pou, "la that It Is the one County
that has no organised republican .nar
ty" Democratic party is the party ?
of good rule, good Government, good
schools, good c h orchear - go mir-. rpad b
and a high class of life in every com

party that Is not afraid bf Its past,"
he said . "It is short on promisee and
long on action." "Did you ever bear
a Republican boast of his affiliation
with the Republican party?"
He made a strong plea to the wo
men' to" register and vote, pointing oat
the fact that although thfre was mu
' ch opposition to suffrage especially
among the ladles, now that we

"Any other Interpretation is a false

President Wilson^he stated that his
tory would record, four great Ameri
cans ? Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln
land Wilson.
j He Btated that the league has two
! purposes. First-^to abolish,, war.
Second ? to lift the burden of taxation
off the people.
He paid a beautiful, tribute to the
boys who .fought- -Germany declaring:
it was not only their objcct to defeat
Autocracy but to rid the world of
wars, and should Harding be elected
their glorious sacrifices, will be de
feated. ! #
He pointed out why the Republican
Senate in their refusal to ratify the
peace treaty, .so that proper credit
and trade arrangements could be ma
de with the world, is responsible for
the present low price of tobacco and
cotton^ He stated that on the 22nd
of September cotton sold in Bremen,
Germany, for_47 1-2 cents a pound
American money.
He concluded his speech In a gra
phic description of why the whole
object and ambition of the republican
campaign and the republican* was
not for the good.uf the cltlMm of
