MEWTON REPUBLICANS HELD MAMMOTH RALLY

Auto Trips Through County Was Best Thing Ever Held in Way of Party Demonstration. Chairman Ray Cummings and his political aides in the republican party in Newton county pulled off the most successful county-wide rally last Saturday we have ever heard of. Starting at Kentland with 93 automobiles, all gayly decorated, the pilot ear having a big elephant labeled “Here to Stay,” the parade had reached 163 cars in number when Mt. Ayr was reached and the spirit of republicanism was running high. The towns of Ade, Morocco, Mt. Ayr, Brook and Goodland- were visited, speeches being made at each place. Senator Will R. Wood spoke at Morocco, Judge U. S. Lesh at Mt. Ayr, Hon. Ele Stansbury at Brook and Colonel Poset at Goodland. It was a great success and is sure to be a great aid to the party in the coming election. Attorney Dunlap and Editor Healey and their wives joined the paraders at Mt Ayr and accompanied them to Brook.
