Banner of Young Mems Club Raised
Amid Fireworks and
Music.
District Attorney Breckons and Other Speakers
Hold Attention of Large Crowd.
Successful Meeting.

The flag raising rally of the Young
Mems Republican club, held last night
streets proved an eminent success. The
speakers were eloquent and earnest and
the listeners, amounting to some five
hundred, seemed to thoroughly enter
into and appreciate the nature of the
occasion.
The rally was made attractive from
q spectacular standpoint by the display
of colored fires and Roman candles
from the windows and roof of the
Waverly building. The banner of the
Young Mems Republican Club was
stretched across Hotel street in the
blaze of a miniature volcano while the
Portuguese band kept the music going.
Photographs and cards of the candi-
dates with colored Island views were
displayed from a stereopticon on the
roof of a neighboring saloon and the
Salvation Army band on the street,
with the strains of a cuintette club In
a nearby beer garden heightened the
general effect if not the general har-
1nony.
A crowd of five hundred voters, ma
tive and white, assembled shortly after
seven o'clock and remained until. the
close shortly after nine. The meeting
was very orderly, disturbed only by a
chnnroa1xpr whose
remarks were more humorous than ma
licious.
Attorney General Lorrin Andrews,
president of the club, acted as chalr-
man and introducer. He opened the
meeting by stating the opportunity
county government afforded or the
carrying out of the wishes of the peo-
pie, through the peoples representa-
tiyes. "The supervisors of the coun-
tv government should" he said "be
business men" and with that he intro
x1uced the first speaker, Joseph Gilman
-rhe candidates picture appeared on
3he screen as he mounted the platform
which has been erected for the use OF

greeted with cheers. The banner was
at the moment drawn across the stree'
and the red fires blazed and the nre'
works burst as the speaker raised hiS
hand for attention.
