almost deafening. Hats were thrown in tho air,
red bandanas waved from thousands OF hands,
and white, black, and gray hats were frantically
thrust upon the points OF canes and waved until
the owners became exhausted. sOme one on the
stage crowned the bust Of the President on the

was the signal for even q wilder burst Of shouts
and cheers than before.
