of trumpets and of drums on wednesday night hundreds followed and hundreds turned from the doors unable to gain admittance the jam was intense chairman ben R Ll dredge called the meeting to order and announced flavor john E booth the ma or responded with a courteous but well directed and forcible speech he advocated free speech and an explanation of doctrines without resorting to personal abuse or infringing on the rights of others such a tiling as complete personal liberty he did not think was possible where people lived in a community jf a person by himself away from all society then he can do as he pleases and that would be purely democratic but if there are two persons then the one must yield some rights to the other As the community erows larger individual liberties must be sacrificed rif this is compensated for by the benefits derived from living in communities the communities aro united together and form counties counties are formed into states and states into a central government the strength of the central government should be chent to bind together the states the states should hold together the counties and the counties to hold together the communities and in the are classed the individuals all are bound together and make a central government I 1 believe this is republican doctrine the sneaker went on to show eliat republicans had always led out in all that
