President Marsh of Lincoln College, who never before entered a city primary, and whose face was not even known to the ward politicians, made one of the best speeches ever made in Raymond.

It was almost ludicrous to see the faces of the men who for years have done as they pleased, when President Marsh rose to speak.

Many of them asked, 'Who is he ?' The consternation deepened as the primary proceeded and it became evident that the oldtime ring of city rulers was outnumbered.

Rev.
Henry Maxwell of the First Church, Milton Wright, Alexander Powers, Professors Brown, Willard and Park of Lincoln College, Dr.West, Rev.George Main of the Pilgrim Church, Dean Ward of the Holy Trinity, and scores of well-known business men and professional men, most of them church members, were present, and it did not take long to see that they had all come with the one direct and definite purpose of nominating the best men possible.

Most of those men had never before been seen in a primary.
