In Chicago, Illinois Senator Henrik Shipstead recently spoke at the Pacific Coast. At Portland, in Oregon, by 8:30 in the evening the doors had to be closed to the hall in which he made a speech for legislator Robert Marion La Follette, and there were six thousand people inside. In Seattle, Washington, in order to prevent the hall from being overwhelmed, it was necessary to print notices in the papers to tell people who had radios to stay at home and hear the speech for La Follette and let the people without radios come to the hall.
