Jones If DE Comes for Fight.
The Citizens Club caucus was the talk
of politicians yesterday along with a
report that Evangelist Sam Jones will
most likely be in Savannah for the mu-
nicipal campaign. If the evangelist
puts in an appearance he will be
talked back at and the mud Singing
won't be all on one side" was the way
a well-known politician expressed it
yesterday.
The politicians were tipped off that
unless something unexpected happens,
Mr.. Jones will certainly appear in Sa
vannah and make the campaign one OF
the warmest and most interes Sng in
the history of the county. Members
of the Citizens Club smiled when they
received the information and refused TO
be frightened. They say that they do
not at all fear the evangelist and sew
eral expressed themselves IS earnestly
desiring to have Mr.. Jones visit Sa
Vannah in time to have a hand dealt
him in the political game.
A supporter of the administration
said that in the event of Mr.. Jones
arrival the fur will certainly fly, and
that the evangelist viii be pleased in
asmuch as he has expressed himself as
liking anything but a dull time 1T
is quite true that Mr.. Jones said some
pretty tough things when he was here
before" said a politician in discussing
the subject, "but what was the use.
1t was an off-year in politics and food
for reflection that is consumed in a
week isn't worth a great deal.
"Mr. Jones will find things slightly
different if he sees fit to return for
the purpose of getting in the game. He
may come out without any scars, but
l doubt it. and certainly he will not be
victorious. He may think that he has
a collection of nuts that will be hard
to crack, but you just wait until we
spring those that we have been saving
until they have become petrified. He's
great talker and no mistake, but
that's all right, all right, there are
others and you don't have to go away
for them either"
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES faction
leaders are remaining quiet and sew
eral of those approached yesterday
stated that it is not true that a eau
Gus was recently held and that a big
caucus will be held next week. A
member of what was the old Liberal
Club said yesterday that there will be
all sorts of opposition to the tickets
that the Citizens Club will put in the
field, and that the county and NUM-
cipal campaigns will be interesting
enough even without the presence of
Mr.. Jones. The Liberals are cycling
closely the reported slight break in a
small corner of the house of the enemy,
but those high in the affairs of the
Citizens Club say that there is abso-
lutely nothing to fear, and that not
only is the organization as solid as it
ever was, but that new life has APP
peared and that il will appear on the
field of battle in a formation that will
be invincible.
Col. Waring Russell has not yet
named his committees. but the one that
will be chosen to look after the Cook
County Marching Club will probably
be announced on Monday. Col. Russell
intends to select this committee first
so that the members can begin at once
to prepare for the arrival and reception
of the visitors. The club promises to
entertain the Chicago Democrats roy
ally and Chairman Colding of this
committee will prepare the plan of en-
tertainment early next week
