When the fact that sixty-eight speakers were scheduled for one day was mentioned above that figure did not take into consideration the soap box speakers that are being employed. These artartists of the curb stones, who an pearmg in all the larger Indiana cities, j pretend to b just "interested citizens'' who sr in favor of the league of tia- I tions. They usually begin by saying i that "I have always voted the repub- J lican tkket. etc." While seme of ; them may be on their own hook, it has been discovered that quite a number are. employes of the democratic organization j and th:t they are moving about from city to city making the unheralded curb stone talks and engaging in political arguments.

Marshall came to Hammond last night and addressed one of the largest political meetings of the campaign. I Unity Hall was packed to capacity to I hear the nat ve Hoosier wit and satiric flings of the distinguished visitor. As a curtain raiser the democrats ! staged an automobile parade in which ' over fifty machines, electr cs, limouj sines and flivers, participated. The I vice prtsident. Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. ' Kellogg Fairbanks headed the procesI sion in the handsome white Jackson I car which was used to transport the "movie actress" in the Fall Festival j pageant. j PLKXTV OK RKD KIItB i Red fire was there in abundance and ' music was furnished by a large circus e.rgan, mounted on a truck. The line of march led through the principal streets of the city and attracted huni dreds to the hall. I Dr. W. D. Weis while acting ? i chairman introduceel the speakers, lie 1 characterized Mr. Marshall as havinB a ' greater stock of patience than Job be- ! cause of the. fact that he has presided : over the senate during the eight ! months in which the senators were I wrangling over the peace treaty, j nt: HAS SlKritlSKD. i Fully one thousand P' ople stormed ; the auditorium in spite of the fact that jit was a rainy night. 'Surely there i must be some republicans here," said ! Mr. Marshall "for I didn't think there j were this many democrats In LaHw : county." ! The vice president delivered a splen. (did tpecch larting an hour and s. half ; and was constantly interrupttd w,th I vociferous applause. He was in excellent voice and in his happiest vein, j FARM Kit tillTS V HHK. j When the audience arose as Marshal 1 stepped t o the front of the stage one I old democratic farmer shouted at him: : "You poor old Democrat." and Marshall ! eonvulsed the audience by giving th j interrupter a capacious w.nk. The speaker said that he was on the j home stretch of bis political career 1 which was not always pleasing to the ; republicans but he hoped they would I say it was honorable. "I will be glad I to get back among the everyday folic I and I have only one ambition as T g j back to private life and that is to see i Indiana where it was when I left it pin the democratic ranks." said Mr. I Marshall. HEFESOS HIS PARTY, i The vice president defended tha ! democratic party and its candidates. ' He paid glowing tribute to Thomas j Taggart and said be was for Taggart j because he watched his career in the ! U. S. Senate where he was no man's ' man. but a democrat and an indepi ndI ent democrat. Taggart is a busineja . man. This is the most crucial period i in the history of America, counseled Che speaker and America has scmie i business to transact in the world. Of Harding personally he said: ' "Harding 1s one of the nicest boys 1 have in my school of oratory. He ' speaks in a loud and sonorous voice." He paid his respects to the service giv en by thr last republican congress by saying. "At Washington there is a s cVc and broken president and a lame vice president but there is a lamer republican congress." He denounced the insufferable egotism of some of the republican leaders who think they alone have all the knowledge in the world. PRAISE FOR I.AAV. He praised the federal reserve law passed by the democrats and dec'areel that it made It Impossible to have any i more financial panics in America. He I ridiculed the work of the republican congress by asking: if it takes two j years to take a cent tax off an ica 1 cream soda how long will it take the ! republican party to rehabilitate AnieriI ca? Somebody answered him by say1 .... , XT- x trig, A long long limp .in. .HdiBiiau and the vice president answered: "Well we are not ging to wait for it." The speaker continued: "I have no excuse to make for the president In negotiating the treaty, but he made It in good faith. The republican party ! has made a political i league of nations. issue f the It wasn't the j democratic party. I have no patience j with these fellows who always knu I what hey would have done if they had been in somo other man s place. i think if I bad been in the Garden of Edrn I wouldn't have eaten the apple, but I don't know, I never saw Eve and I might have eaten it too. If Harding Is elected which God forfend, the republican senators won't get along tt three months." CRITICISM FOR HARDIXG. The vice president tore to tatters the various positions taken by Harding on the league of nations and declared that b finally had to get Elihu Root to tell him what to say on the subject. He didn't like the feth In the covenant said Mr. Marshall "because th-y were not made by a republican dentist." He declared that Harding was big and brainy but dare not tell where he stood on the league because oT the two factions In the republlcaa party. "Isn't it funny," asked Mr. Marshall "that republican senator should run around the country quoting old Tom Jefferson. I believe that tonight in the Valhalla of fame Jefferson is poking Alexander Hamilton in the ribs and saying 'I've got your (.continued on page nve)
