Whitman At Emery

tion. Chas. K. Whitman made his first speech of the campaign at Emery last Wednesday evening. More than two hundred of the unterrified assembled to listen to the democratie gospel message he brought. There are no indications of lukewarmnes or apathy in that neck o' woods. Every democrat in that vicinity has on his war paint of the regulation hue and the blood of each was stirred to a more rapid coursing by the narative of achievement and aims of the democracy as presented by the eloquent speaker. Mr. Whitman is a strong campaigner. He is scholarly and thoroughly posted on all the issues before the people. He is a pleasing and forceful speaker and a luced and logical reasoner, always with the language at command to picture clearly the thought he wishes to convey. The possession of these powers creates a lively demand for his services. The state central committee has asked for all of his time from now until the close óf the campaign. He will speak at Battle Creek on Monday, Oct. 8, and will then start on a trip with Hon. S. O. Fisher through the upper península, speaking at Sault St. Marie, Marquette, Ishpeming, Negaunee, Hancock, Ironwood, Iron Mountain, Menominee and Escanaba and will close the campaign at Bay City, from which place there comes an urgent request for his services, the night before election. However he will not give the state central committee all of his time. He will spend about two weeks in Washtenaw county in aid of the local democracyj This service should and no doubt will be fully appreciated by the local candidates.
