Freedom Is Heard From

Vears ago when Washtenaw county cast in all, from 200 to 300 votes, and people slopped around on foot through the swamps to give each other the news the cry after election used to be "Wait till you hear from Freedom." Well, Freedora was heard from Wednesday night. It was an awful night tor mud and rain, but that made no difference. Freedom town hall was packed "like sardines in a box" (which will be cheaper now, thanks to the Wilson law), the democracy of five towns furnishing the crowd. We should have said that the meeting was held in the hall and vicinity, for all who came could not get in. The outsiders in a great crowd, massed around the building and formed the "outer wall" of democracy. The meeting was addressed by Hon. C. R. Whitman, who, always forcible and eloquent, seemed at his best on this occasion and made himself plainly understood to the listeners outside. Messrs. Lehman, Suekey, and Kearney also addressed the meeting. The gathering numbered I over 500. It was one of the most effective meetings of the campaign. Enthusiasm was hung on a hair trigger and went off on the slightest provocation. Refreshments were provided and bread and sausage followed the speech making. Freedom is solid for the democratie ticket.
