“SAY IT AGAIN!”

THE EFFECT OF A PHPASK

“Say il again, -Mr Churchill!" called out an enraptured Lancashire hearer, after a moving passage in one of the speeches of a great election campaign. The orator, though doubtless word-per-fect on the occasion, did not respond to his admirer’s invitation; and in England, we may suppose, the little incident has had no exact parallel.

in America they can heal if hollow, says an English paper. The “keynote” speech at the Democratic Convention-in .June was delivered by ex-(iovernor Ulyn. Its climax was a passage praising Dr Wilson for keeping out of war. The President's policy, Mr Clyn declared, might not satisfy those who revelled in destruction and found pleasure in despair, but it satisfied -the mothers and daughters of the land, the fathers and sons who will light and die for the Hag “when reason primes the ritle, when honour draws the sword, when justice breathes a blessing on the standards they uphold!” Out of the cheers that rolled and rolled there came a.voice, “Say it again—say it again!” Air (llyn said it again, and, in response to another long emotional upheaval, repeated it y«l a third time.
