Big Bill Devery annexed Herman Ridder
last night, called for cheers for Sam Parks,
and learned that the Epworth League is
against him. This all happened at the
banner raising at the Devery Four Corners,
Eighth avenue and Twenty-eighth street.
Bill has got three of the corners anyhow.
There's the Pump saloon on the northwest
corner, the Bug Club on the southwest,
and, last night. the rooms OF the William
s. Devery Association on the northeast
corner We're opened to Bills followers,
The big banner which was pulled out over
the avenue at q o'clock had Deverys pic
ture i'll the middle and the following call
on the multitude to support him for Mayor:
All citizens who believe in u liberal en-
toroement of the law and who are in favor
or equal rights 10 all and special privileges
70 none are invited To sign the petition or
the peoples candidate for Mayor, WILLIAM
y DEvEkY.
About 10000 persons have signed the
petition up to date, Devery said last night.
There were fireworks when the banner
was put out The rockets scared cab
horse and the horse reared and plunged
into the crowd, knocking down group Of
children.
Other things happened in the two hours
wait, Devery himself appeared on the
outside platform TO make his speech.
For instance, when John b. McGoldie
announced that Devery was sure to get into
national politics and might be the peoples
candidate for President in four or eight
yea y, all the Chinese lanterns, with which
the front Of the Bug House was decorated,
swung violently TO and fro and caught
fire all al once.
Eddie Schneider jumped of the platform
and ran TO the rescue Under his direction
lot of boys formed bucket brigade to
put out the fire, but there was nothing
resembling water in the clubhouse, SO the
Bugs pulled the lanterns down and threw
them into the street. Somebody whispered
toMcGoldie and he was more careful about
what he said after that
DO you notice." said Big Bill, as an
opener for his speech, how solemn these
trolley cars are. going by here Tonight
They amt changing gong to disturb this
meeting That means that every motor
man and conductor is going to vote for
Devery.'
The cars were moving very slowly on
account OF the crowd. One OF them was
filled with homeward- bound picnic party
Of badge-wearing Epworth League folks

yelled Vote for Devery for Mayor There
were cries OF approval from the street
but dissenting voices from the car
"Oh, no, a thousands times mol eX-
claimed young woman Lacquer and then
at her request all the passengers IN the
picnic car chanted:
"Saloons Saloons Saloons must go"
Devery grinned, waved his hat to the
Epworth Leaguers and resumed his speech

Tom that he can't stand for Little Eva any
