bor,' But Its Friend.
The republican campaign cloaed last
evening with a large assemblage In
the Steward opera house, to lUten to
the talented 'orator, Judge Henry "E.
McGinn, He had been announced as
. one ot the moat pleasing and convinc
ing speakers and the hundreds pres
ent mere more than delighted. He
- spoke for over two hours and few,
'indeed, were those who did not remain
until the. last.
Visited RaJroad Shops.
During the afternoon he visited the
railroad shops . and . personally met
many of the men, a few of whom he
was personally acquainted with. Judge
McGinn Is known throughout the state
at the laboring man's attorney, and
the greater portion of his address was
devoted to dispelling the doctrine so
liberally dispensed by the democratic
literature and speakers' that Taftwas
an enemy to labor and labor union?).
.....'''Firm Believer In Taft.
Judge Taft covered this ground so
thoroughly and cited so, many of
Tuft's decisions while on the' bench
that there was no room for anyone to
know where he stood, ' and "4t was
along these- lines that he made his
greatest impression.
