local speakers whose names we're on the
list OF short takers" to break loose on the
coming municipal campaign had the chance
been given to them. There were ten names
on this list. but as the "long talks" OF Gov.
Robert B. Glenn Of North Carolina and
Lieut.. -Gov. Jared b. Sanders Of Louisiana
were extremely long the only one Of the ten
who got an opportunity to speak was Con-
gresham Billy Sulzer. And as he took
twenty minutes out OF the three minutes
allotted to him by the chairman to talk
about his pet hobby, the iniquities OF the
United States Senate, he had no time left
to rekinde the earlier enthusiasm OF the
audience.
The Sixty-ninth Regiment Band played
patriotic music {" Tammany' was added to
this years repertoire and was encored three
times), the Tammany Glee Club sang the
national songs its members learned at school
and then, after the feast Of oratory. came
the feast Of other things from the tables
laid In the basement.
