Shively’s Speech Tuesday Afternoon Well Received.

The Princess Airdome was comfortably filled Tuesday afternoon to hear Senator Shively’s speech, which was devoted to the tariff question almost entirely. Mr. Shively is a splendid speaker and a recognized authority on this question, and handles the “Queen’s English” in a manner to make the rest of us feel ashamed of our command of language. The speaker was introduced by W. R. Nowels, and during the entire two hours he spoke he held the close attention of his hearers. Judge Hanan of .Lagrange, who was here to rule on the Borntrager ditch matter, occupied a seat on the stage and was introduced by E. P. Honan and made a few brief - re-"’ marks, as also did Arthur Tuteur, democratic nominee for prosecuting attorney, and ex-editor J. R. MeCollough of Remington. Rfter the speech making Senator Shively was taken out to St. Joseph’s college where he met the faculty and students and made a few minutes talk to the latter along educational lines. District Chairman Murphy was also here and Senator Shively, Judge Hanan, Mr. Murphy and County Chairman N. Littlefield were entertained at supper by Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Honan.
