The atmosphere seemed to be
charged with the feeling existing
in the state: several of those on the
platform cast somewhat apprehen-
szive glances over the audience and
limsc in the audience in many cases
isat forward in their seats—all feel~
mg that there might be an open
demonstration of these diverse sen—
timents. ,

Strain is Inasened.

As Mr. Dawes proceeded with his
analysis of the attitude of the La.
gl'Ylllcttc-N‘i’l’lct’lcr ticket toward con-
gstitutionui questions. particularly
i'lhc independent platform's declara-
itinll for congressional veto of su-
preme court decistms. those in
charge of the meeting said they no-
iiccd a lessening of the strain. There
[\vcre few interruptions from unsym-
gpathcllc members of the audience
there after, except about; midway in
the speech when those sitting in :1
section near the back of the hall got
up and walked noisely out. The Re-
publican organization officials esti-
mated the number who did this at
about 200 and pointed out that their
places were taken immediately by
an equal number from among the
crowd waiting outside.

Mr. Dawes devoted his entire ado
dressed t 03. di ussion to a. Ls. Fol-
lotte movement which he declared
rcpresentcd “the quintessence of de-
lmalgogism. animated by the vlcous
purpose of undermining the consti-
tutional foundation of this repub-
lic."

the number of calls from ex-servicc
men in need of help. he fcnrcd the

ing to a little more than 5.106.000’

were needed. Attorney General
Healy was absent from the meeting
and the board said that it could
reach no decision until he could be
consulted.

The sum of $3.300 was added to

troller to meet the obligations or
Windham county courts until the
State’s balance in the First National

the volunteer service and earned a

resumed the rank of first Lieutenant

qualities of diplomacy, strategy and
much personal courage. to convince
the unruly Moi-cs the Americans
were not only their friends. but also
better fighters than they. Pershing
succeeded so brilliantly that Presi-
dent Rooscvelt jumped him. at the
age of 46. from a captaincy to briga-
dier general. over the heads of hun-
dreds of others.

For a. short time in 1903, he was
