HONAN AND DAVIS DRAW MANY DDT

Local Speakers are Making Good Impressions BAND PROVES A GOOD GARD People Turning Out in Good Numbers as the End of the Campaign Draws Nearer. Hon. Frank Davis of Brook, and Hon. E. P. Honan of this city, who have been making speeches in some of the smaller towns of the county this week, are being greeted by audiences that are most encouraging from any angle you may look at the matter. Three and a half years of unprecedented prosperity and happiness and contentment on every hand, the, people do not want a change. But, with characteristic ardor, the Republican financiers are making every effort within their power to convice the people that a change is necessary. But the audiences greeting these Democratic speakers each evening, and the placid countenances and prosperous appearance of the men and their women folks, belie the claims of the opposition. Wednesday night Mr. Davis spoke at Gifford and Mr. Honan at Wheatfield, and both were greeted by audiences that were all that could have been wished for. Thursday night Mr. Davis addressed a congregation at Aix, and received a hearty welcome and was greeted by a most enthusiastic audience.

The Democratic band is accompanying the speakers to most of the places and is proving a delightful addition to the program at each stop.
