Josephus Daniels • made a sparkling address at the High school auditorium Wednesday evening to a large audience. He made a special plea for the voters to cast their bal lots, bringing out the fact that in past elections only 51 per cent of the qualified voters had cast their ballots. Representative government can not be secured when such apathy exists. It is every one's duty to vote —and this includes the ladies. He deplored the extravagance of the Re publican party in national politics; brought out their impotency in state affairs and their lack of policy; at tributing the prosperity and progress of the state to the Democrats, who have brought the state to its high eminence in the nation. His splendid address should arouse the voters to their sense of duty. HON. CLYDE R. HOEY SPEAKS AT CLIFFSIDE The first gun of the political sea son was fired by that silver-tongued orator, Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, at Cliff side, Friday evening of last week. Brief announcement of his appoint ment brought out a crowd estimat ed at over 400 —quite a tribute in these days of political apathy. The Courier wishes every voter in the county could have heard him. He was at his best and held his audience spellbound while he eloquently dis cussed the issues now confronting the voter. Mr. Hoey was introduced by Hon. C. O. Ridings, who made a snappy short talk. Tuesday is election day. it be hooves every Democratic voter to come out and cast his or her vote. (The ladies should not fail to vote.) The Courier has not seen as much Republican activity in the five years the writer has been here as is being displayed now. Of course we out number them in this county, but it is imperative that the Democrats come out and vote.
