Governor Malcolm R. Patterson

Greater Than William J. Bryan: So Says the Johnson City Staff of Malcolm R. Patterson of Tennessee —On the Chautawisa Platform

1 *

THE Johnson City (Miss.) Staff says: “Malcolm R. Patterson, former governor of Tennessee, addressed an audience that taxed the capacity of auditorium, gallery, aisles and classrooms at the Central Baptist Church last night, nearly 1,600 people hearing him.i Never has a greater speech been delivered to Johnson Citiana We are mindful of the fact that Bryan, Clark, Hoss, Gailor, McDowell, Stuart, Taylor, Carmack, Taft and other speakers of national reputation have addressed Johnson City audiences, but Malcolm R. Patterson’s effort Sunday night, lh our judgment, eclipsed anything we have ever heard, and we have heard them alt h “His bearing was most kingly. In the course of an hour and a half be did not hesitate, be did not falter, but made a speech thkt would have done honor to-well, if Hill. Yancey and Grady, with their tongues of gold, gave their auditors anything finer the veracious chronicler failed to report it 10 our judgment only one man our American civilization has produced eould have equaled it and he is the late Robert IngersoH.” Governor Patterson will appear on the Lincoln Chautauqua program in this city on the second day, night only. Maybe you have long wanted to know bow great were Ingersoll and Grady? Well, then, hear Patteraoa, who is the twentieth century edition of them alt
