'Thomas Grant, who is one of this communities straightforward, thoroughly hcfhest and greatly respected citizens, is very much incensed at being called a liar and especially having the same printed in a newspaper. Mr. Grant is with the Paxton Lumber Company of South Bend but spent a few dayß here with his family returning to that city Monday evening. _ While here he called at The Republican office and insisted that his statement that about one-third of the people who were in the audispeech made by the~Democratic canence at South Bend during Hie didate, Millionaire Cox, left. His companion, who was a Democrqfc suggested that he was disgusted and did not of the abuse being used in the address. After Mr. Grant and his companion left the hall the companion remarked that at least a third of the people were leaving. Mr. Grant says that he heard a number of people complain of the abuse resorted to by Millionaire Cox. The -editor has talked with a number of people who attended the South Bend meeting and all insist that many left the audience. Just Saturday a traveling man, who had attended the meeting said that Mr. Grant's statement was true and more than that Senator Watson had a larger crowd and made a better address at Monticello last Friday?
