NOTABLE STREET PARADE

There is a great scarcity of Democrats
in the city today. The reason Is that the
association named in honor of Leader
Robert Davis is having its annual outing
and in the neighborhood of eight hundred
and fifty men are out on it.
In the lower section of the city, par
ticu1arly in the neighborhood of the club
house Iins Mercerostree and along the line
of march, private dwellings and BUSH
ness houses aresdeeerated in honor of
the occasion.
AS early as seven o'clock this morning
men were rushing in the direction of the
Davis Clubhouse to secure the natty
white Fedora hats, b~outonnieres and
canes, which were a part of the uniform
the association provided. The badges
this year are beauties. They are about
six inches long. Printed in. gold letters
on the ribbon is the name of the asso-
citation. Suspended over the whole thing
is a small circular frame in which is
set an excellent picture of the popular
little standard bearer
Director William Heller, who has ar
ranged the outing, was delighted this
morning when he saw the followers of
Robert Davis collecting at the clubhouse
in hundreds. AT eight O'Clock Holders
band of fifty pieces appeared at the club
house and several popular airs were
played. The music, in conjunction with
the exploding bombs, acted as a magnet
in drawing crowds to the vicinity. The
band played on while a dozen member
of the association distributed flags and
canes.
The standard bearer stopped at the
clubhouse, and, after expressing his de-
light at seeing so many men ready to
fall in line, he repaired to his Office in
Railroad avenue and disposed of his bust
ness.
The crowd grew as the time for starting
arrived. 1t was proposed to make a start
at nine o'clock, but at that hour men
were Hooking to the clubhouse to secure
their outfits.
About nine o'clock the drum and fife

pieces into two bands and for an hour
