A HUGE CROWD WAS PRESENT

At Big Democratic Meeting at South Bend Thursday. Mrs. J. I. Gwin, district woman’s chairman, attended the big Democratic meeting at South Bend Thursday, at which Governor Cox was the principal speaker. She reports the meeting as a splendid beginning for a successful campaign program. In her official capacity she had the advantage of a personal meeting with the Ohio governor and pronounces him just the type that will appeal to the Independent voters. Five hundred guests of the Democratic Editorial association enjoyed the banquet at the Oliver hotel at which the presidential nominee was the guest of honor. Many thousands listened to his address in an open air meeting and about 7,000 in the evening at the tabernacle which had been erected for the Billy Sunday meeting. When the governor said ‘.‘he was glad to begin his campaign In a tabernacle,” some "wag” in the audience cried "Hallelujah,” Ito which the speaker replied, "We will save those until after Nov. 4.”
