DIDN'T TAKE TO NEW IDEA"

A meeting of the New Idea' party
was widely advertised to take place at
Montgomery and Washington streets last
night Few voters seemed to be inter
ested. 1t was supposed to be one of a
series of eart-tail campaign meetings
that has been inaugurated by the Colby
Fagan- Records New Party" A big
truck, decorated with bunting and en-
blazoned with banners bearing New
Idea" inscriptions, was planted on the
northwest corner From the tailend of
this truck New Idea1 theorists were
supposed to expound the doctrines of the
new party. A dozen or more men, not
particularly interested in the New Idea"
but curious and looking for any old kind
of excitement, leaned against the rails
protecting the areaway of the Second
National Bank and the brass railing of
the Washington Cafe ON the corner dag
onally opposite from the New Idea"
truck, patiently waited for speakers and
crowd to show up. The meeting was
advertised to take place at-eight O'clock.
A slow hour passed by and still there
were no signs of a meeting. The few
curious hangers-on gradually drifted
apart. Even the man in charge of the
truck became disgusted. He ripped off
the bunting, took down the banners and
whipping up his horses and whirling
them to Montgomery street drove them,
presumably, to the stables. One poetic
gentleman i'm the small crowd left and
quenched his thirst in one of the three
thing about ''the Arabs quietly folding
adjoining cafes and tried TO quote some
their tents and stealing away in the
night"
