Q. from St. Mogul s University of your own and my great state. I have never before asked for a public office. (Voice from the crowd: "No, and you needn't be axing for it now. You ain't hardly fit to stay at home"). I am in favor of the 18th amendment. (Voice from the crowd: "What do that mean, more licker?") I will also support the high tariff: (Voice from the crowd: "Maybe you is, but we ain't goner support you"). I am fully competent to discharge the duties of the office which I am seeking. (Voice from the crowd: "Where's you learn it? in the pool room?") I will appreciate, your help and any kind word spoken in my behalf will be appreciated. I Thank you.

I want yo?to (Set down), you, er, er?(Hush up)?to heli? (Somebody shoot him). (-Chairman:The meeting is over). Solomon has Been To Town I believe .Sammy Skinner is the smartest boy I ever saw. He was raised in a briarpatch down close to my old home. He was not excessively smart in his youth, but he'? smart now. He had' a good father and mother, both of whom were consecrated Christians. They believed in in the Bible just as it is, and they had family worship, and attended church regularly, and paid the preacher. But Sammy left Home about the time he was grown and went up to Philadelphia and got a job. He never did tell exactly what he worked at up there. iSome said he was a lawyer, others said he worked in a Cafe, and still others said lie had s position in an iron foundry, .'ffe boarded at a place wher^ Prof, tfra Dyrfe L L. D., D. t boarded. Prof. Lyre taught science and biology in one of the colleges in Philadelphia, and it seems that he took time always to talk to Sammy SHnner a heap. Sammy came home last summer, bareheaded, eupporterlees, wearing specks, and smelling like Glover's Mange Cure. He called around to tell me howdy. I soon found out that he waa above the average citisen, or ai least ho fait that way. He had it Arih yankee brogue. He was not vary severely edocated, bat he was a good talker. come out to church the following Sabbath. He laughed long and deep. He seemed amazed that a fellow of my intelligence (?) would waste his time going to church. He said going to a religious service was the bosh. He then began to expound some of I'rof. Ura Lyre's doctrine. He said there was no heaven, no hell, no hereafter, no ?in, no nothing except imagination. He could prove that the Bible was all faked up. (Gosh, Sammy was smart). He explained that all things evoluted from nothing. He wanted me to believe that religion would be an unknown quantity in less than 25 years. He said only old fogies and some habitual folks believed in it now. He said the idea of a God or a devil, or anything else that was considered spiritual was a rediculous thought to him. Gee, that boy is smart. I simply can't understand how he learned so much in 5 years. He is a cross between a pimp and an imp. His little brain would rattle in a chigger's stummick. He's \vorth about as much to the country as a citizen as a tumble bug is to farming. He made me so sick I thought I'd faint. If he was gro%d up into ! fertilizer, he'd make about an 8-1-1, I and the only thing that would prove then that he was fertilizer would be his smell. That's all] thank you.
