with no force. Honeyed words
for the republicans, whom the
speakers asserted had lieen led
speakers, it was a most remark-
ably patient audience that lis-
tened until nearly 11 o'clock to
the different sjieakers.
Leslie (i. Niblack, candidate
for for the council, and Ike 11.
Levy, for representative, were
detained by the lateness of the
train and did not get to the meet-
ing 1 ill about 9:30. They being
the chief attraction and the ones
from whom the audience wits ex-
jiecting much, a majority waited
and listened to some of thecoun-
ty candidates and some local
democratic spell-binding talent.
Felix Adler, chairman of the
central committee, \yas master

U,e fact tha lie lias nothing to Kay
leaves a void. For instance, the dem-
ocratic candidate for council was so
hard pressed lor something lo say that
lie re-liashe-J "the pup story," which
the audience had finished in tlieir
minds and gone to sleep before Ike
could get to the application. Mr.
Levi shows at hi* best when wildly
denouncing monopolies, lie nlso as-
serts that, he thinks the nigger
should be kept In Ills place.
Tliis meet ins' did the republican
cause good since republicans who
thought of scratching a little say now
their ballot will be straight. Demo-
crats say, "If that's the best my party
can do, I'll vote the republican ticket
for luck."

There could not have been a
another memorable occasion, it
is related that "Felix trembled,"
but this was not Adler, who,
fortified with "just one more,"
flashed his rubicund pliyz on the
audience and started things bv

waiting was to be rewarded in a
