WOOD MAKES GREAT ADDRESS

I XXI TENTH CONGRESSIONAL CONGRESSMAN IS A REAL STATESMAN. , . . - ~ \ * Hon. William R. Wood, our representative in the lower house of the national congress, made an address at the Princess theatre Wednesday evening which was considered to be one of the best best political speeches ever delivered in this The theatre was crowded and many were unable to gain admission. The Ladies’ quartette of Huntington sang a number of songs that were thoroughly enjoyed and which drove home in a very pointed way many ,of the lessons of this campaign. The girls are splendid singers and were forced by the applause of the great audience to return to the platform time after -time. Their ability is a great factor in preaching the gospel of true I Republicanism, which is true Amer- । icanism. < Representative Wood is an orator of excellent-ability, but he is also , a statesman, and is well informed [as to governmental affairs. He speaks with first hand knowledge. He told of the present critical financial condition of the government and the necessity of stringent economy and* the best possible business acumen in the management of public affairs. He is sure that soon the Republican protective tariff, will be needed to safe-guard the interests of the American laborer and farmer. He charged the Democrats with extravagance and wastefulness and lack of policies to keep the country in good financial condition. 2 He gave much attention to the League of Nations and very>plainly illustrated its un-Aanericanism and the many pitfalls into which it would plunge, this nation. He said it meant. the sending of khaki boys to Europe arid that millions of dollars would have to be furnished by this, government to make good the obligations the league would impose upon us. He said it was an Ungodly instruleague would » fall upon America and that * other countries in the league could not and would riot furnish either men or mbney. He said it wa san unGodly instrument, that it did not mention the name of God one single time and that during the deliberation ait Versailles not a single prayer to Almighty went up asking for divine guidance and wisdom. . The congressman’s address was so clear, so forceful- and so convincing that it moved his audienee to conviction. -Many Democrats were in the theatre and our representative- gave them some pointe to.think about that it will be difficult to disregard when they enter the 'sacred booth on November % and cast their ballots for the future law-makers and executives of this state and nation. Mr. Wood urged the re-election Of our able senator, James E. Watson. He said it was as important to have a Republican senate as it was that Harding succeed Wilson. The Congressman is anxious that we give to . our neighbor, Warren T. McCray, a splendid vote. Mr. McCray will be the first governor this district has furnished to the state since the election of the late J. Frank Hanley. He is our neighbor, a man of excellent ability, and the kind needed to conduct the business of the state in - the critical time just ahead of us. The tenth Indiana congressronal district may well be proud of its statesman,' William R. Wood, who is giving the district, the state and the nation such splendid service.

REPUBLICAN SPEAKING AT MOFFITS SCHOOL

The people in the vicinity of Moffitts . School, Union township, were privileged to listen to able addresses delivered by Miss Maud Daugherty, Mrs. A. H. Hopkins and W. L. Wood of Rentselaer, at Moffiite school'house last Saturday evening. Each speaker is deserving of special mention because of the particular manner in which he presented his subject. Miss Daugherty • presided and she performed this duty with a* grace becoming an adept parliamentarian. She briefly traced the struggle waged- by heroines in behalf of woman suffrage, and urged the women to prove themselves worthy of the franchise, won by others in their behalf. - Her suggestion that many men were not opposed to equal suffrage as a measure of justice and equality, but feared the emotional tendency, and a spirit of hero worship by the “fairer sex,” was timely. She gave a sane fanpassionate address and her audience was delighted and instructed. Mirs. A. H. Hopkins, next on the program, is never disappointing. The writer has heard her upon several occasions but she undoubtedly was at her best Saturday evening as she spoke to this people. Her brief review of American history and American institutions was institutions was inspiring. As we listened to her description of America, her natural resources, her institutions, her homes, her stalwart manhood. As we listened we saw more vividly than ever before the grandeur of Our Americp, and in our hearts we were made to rejoice that our lot was cast in a land so glorious, where we might continue to “sit ' under our own vine and shade tree” and none dare “molest or make afraid:” Hon. W. L. Wood’s address had to do principally with taxes and state affairs. Tax payers especially, who were not present, missed their best chance of information by not being present to hear from the lips of* their own representative this subject most thoroughly defined. Tax payers should have an intelligent understanding in metiers pertaining to a subject so vital, and this might have been obtained by more people if they had only sacrificed, a little time grid came out to this meeting. These speakers exercised great judgment. They were conscious that they were face to face with an intelligent audience, an audienee open-minded and receptive. This is a “Campaign of education.” Men and women are serious. They are thinking. They propose t» exercise their own minds in .the matters so vital to America, but are not adverse to outside help that will direct them in the right way. The people of this vicinity extend a hearty welcome for the return of these speakers to our/community. ' '
