RAISE THEIR FIRST FLAG
Republicans Furnish Side Show for
Saturday Evening Shoppers

Veterans bearing the scars of many
political battles were brought to-
gether III the opening hag-raising of
the campaign by the republicans Of
the city Saturday evening. They were
on view on a platform imprOvised at
the south of the Union Office on Eigh-
teenth street.
The flag was nfurlCd between the
Office of the party organ and the Gan
sert candy factory. The band march
ing up Second avenue from the re
publican headquarters at Turner hall
attracted a number of the Saturday
evening shoppers. These, together
with the party lights, made up crowd
OF fair proportions.
The fact that a single individual
contributed the applause of the even
ing and that then the flag was unfurl-
ed was the best evidence of the extent
of the enthusiasm manifest. There
was scarcely whimper from the audi
ence in response to any of the senti
ments OF the speakers.
However, a quartet composed OF

deeply hurt when she was told in the
police court this morning that she was

morning in company with Della Green
Flora Logan and four men. Cliff Math-
ers. Charles Davis, Samuel Logan and
Tom Sarcey, in house on Twenty
second street, between Third and
Fourth avenues. The women were
tried separate from the men.
Helen refused to plead guilty, and
during the offering of testimony by
Detective Richard Carnes and Officer
! John Kinney. who raided the place, re-
Deatedly interrupted the officers, deny
| ing their charges that she was a street
walker and was caught proving
around late at night looking for live
ones.
Helen said it was not her fault if
! she was stopped on the street at night
| by white men. She always tried 10
be on her good behavior. and simply
| because she was attractive to white
men she should not be blamed. Carnes
recognized her by her hat, but Helen
swore that last night was the first
time that she wore it.
! She said her husband was in Chi
cago. and that he supported her. She
was visiting with an old lady on Twen-
! ty-second street. near First avenue,
and she just dropped in at Eliza's last
night to have a lunch after returning
from chuch in Davenport. Helen was

Her friend was taxed the same
amount.
