OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T LEAVE

Their Campaign of Lies Will Avail Republicans Nothing. In speaking of the Governor Cox meeting at South Bend recently and where Looey published an alleged statement of a partisan cohort that “a third of the audience were so disgusted with the address that they left the *hall during the speech,” Editor Steinbach of the Kentland Democrat, who was present at the meeting, says:

The writer can bear witness to the fact that “not a third” of Governor Cox’s audience "left the hall” either In "disgust” or otherwise when he spoke at the coliseum (the only “hall” he spoke in) in South Bend on Thursday night of last week. The writer was there and observed that the mammoth coliseum structure wsb packed to the limit long before Governor Cox was introduced, and though the night was very warm and the candidate spoke for nearly, an hour, scarcely as many as one out of every 1,000 persons present went out while he spoke—and these perhaps because pf, the discomfort of the heat or other reasons of their own.
