Tax Commissioner Dillon and overnor Dawson were billed to speak 1 the opening of circuit court and an ( nmense crowd, the largest seen In 1 lis county for many years, gathered ! om all parts of the country to hear ' icm, this being one of the counties j i the State In which nearly every j tlzen Is 'benefited by the operation c ' the new tax Bystem. The Demo- 1 atlc committee, In order to try to i em the tide, challenged Mr. Dillon, I ho was billed tor the morning meet- < g ,for a joint discussion with W, E. I hllton. The challenge was promptly I tcepted by the chairman of the Re- f iblican committee and the fun bo- f tn. 1 Mr. Dillon, In a speech 'of one hour, f tve an exposition of the new tax ws, which delighted the Republicans f id struck dismay to the hearts of J i ,e Democrats. Every sentence of Ills'i leech was to the point and his earn- ' tness and straight forward manner!' irrled conviction even to many of * c Democratic listeners. 1 Mr. Chilton, in a speech lasting an ! iur and a quarter, tried In vain to I mnteract the effect of Mr. Dillon's 1 glcal discussion. No attempt was ade by the speaker to refute the ariment, the versatile Mr. Chilton con- c ilng himself exclusively' to vicious " tacks upon the Republican adminls- " ation, charging the governor and ' x commissioner with insincerity and r ck of good faith, and predicting ( any (lire tilings that would befall ' e people under the administration 5 the new tax system In the future, 1 ongh compelled to admit that they r ere beneficial to the averuge tax- ' lyer this year. Mr. Chilton, who Is c e rival oT Colonel McC.raw for the 1 sited States Senatorship In case the ' glslature this year might by any 1 lance be Democratic, Is not only one 1 the most eloquent and logical '' eakers in the Democratic party, but c i found himself up against a proposl- ' in for which.he was not prepared and ' am which he could not extricate him- 1 If. c Mr. Dillon's closing argument, which (ted only twenty minutes, was perils the most masterful and convlnc- ' -- lilt of oratory ever delivered In this iirt house.

B o CITIZENS OF FIELD SDMI SAYS PROHIBITION WILL BE AN ISSUE GENERAL GROSVENOR DISCUSS-" ED THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN OHIO AND MAINE. WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.? General drosvenor, who ever since the first VlcKlnley presidential campaign has leen famous Hie country over as the Ready Reckoner" of the Republican arty, Is in town. The General will set to work In a few days on bis table :f the next House of Representatives le will figure out a Dig Republican najority may be a trifle smaller than t was In the past. Individually, Genual Grosvenor will, for the first time n his life, view with Christian fortltide anything that might happen In ! e Eleventh Ohio dlsiri t, Vr a per ion named Douglass beat the vcneralie General Grosvenor for the nominitlon. General Grosvenor called on Presllent Roosevelt and talked politics vith him for a time. Just as he was bout to leave the room he handed dr. Roosevelt a marked copy of a uagazlnc which confined the pieco vrltten by the General advocating Mr. (oosevelt's re-election. Mr. Roosevelt nttghed as he took the magazine, but lesldcs saying that he had heard of he article, he refrained from comnent. When General Grosvenor reluctantly onsented to be Interviewed he set up i theory that surprised his hearers, fhe Republican party, according to Jcneral Grosvenor, must meet the irohlbltlon issue. On this issue In )hlo the Republicans are likely to ose the Third district, now repre;ented by Mr. Nevlri. There Is a Sol Hers' Home In this district, and the ild soldiers of the home are bitterly ndlgnnnt against the Republicans bemuse at the last session, Congress 'O-ssed a law forbidding the canteens a the soldiers' homes nnd'substltntng prohibition of the strictest type -Jr. Nevin found the sentiment against Im so bitter that he declined to be a mndldate for renomlnatlon. The Jemocrats have nominated former loverncr Campbell, and he Is malting he prohibition Issue the mnln topic f his speeches. "But not only in Ohio Is prohlblIon giving tis trouble." said General Irosvenor. "but In Maine the Reptibleans will have to face this Issue ooner or later. If the Republicans of Talne do not give the people of that state a chance to declare whethev hey warit prohibition In their constlullon any longer or not, they will use the State. If the Democrats had mown their strength In the election ast September there Is no telling that might have happened." General Grosvenor thinks th-.t Conress ought to repeal the prohibition iw in the soldiers' homes. Fell From Building.
