LANE AND THE BOOZE CAMPAIGN
John Lane is not believer In

II was out at Keike's the other
night" he said. "sizing up the situa-
tion, but / did not speak; there was
altogether too much booze there to
suit me. l would rather speak to ten
sober men who understand what 1 am
saying than to a hundred who are
shouting and making n noise over
something of which they know moth
ing. They shout to make a noise and
there is very little patriotism in the
shouts. The meeting at Keike's was
fair. but not what you would expect.
The crowd had to be brought over from
the Fifth because they are shy in the
Fourth and the ticket Is weak. We
have to cart the boys around to fill
up the empty seats. 1t Is a little early
to prophesy a result, but it seems to
me the ticket is pretty strong. / have
heard said the Civic Federation is go
ing to turn down Harris, but do not
kind. 1t was organized for the purpose
of bringing out such candidates as
would be acceptable to the business
community, and he is certainly one OF
them. I do not think a single thing
can be said against him, and 1 regret
that he is not going back into the
Legislature again He was good man
there and 1t is too bad to lose him"

In doubt of it's existence at the meet
ings he attends. But it is there, and
as 1t is not brought on the scene until
after he leaves the locality it is easy
to see why he doubts it's existence.
No better authority is needed than Mr..
Lane.
DEMOCRATIC FUNDS LOW.
Trent says the reasons the Democrats
do not supply seats for the audience
Is because theirs is a shoestring cam
paign and that they have not the mo,,-
ey to pay for the lumber nor the road
department wagons to haul 1t. He
seems to insinuate that Sam Johnson
is doing funny things in order to help
his party. The fact remains that Dem
ocratic audiences do not always appear
large and the cause may be traced to
the absence of music and comfort.
John Effinger denies that it is the alb
sence of money; he places the blame
on the managers who spend the cam
paign funds in ways that do not bring
as large returns as if comfortable seats
were provided for the crowd that would
be glad to stay and listen to the speak
ers.
THE JOE CLARK RALLY.
1t is said that Joe Clark looks upon
the Sheriff as one OF his dearest sup
porters and he is pleased to reciprocate
And the public is considering the meet
ing of the Republicans at that partic-
ular corner last week in the light of
an endorsement of Joes methods to
lead the young of both sexes down the
toboggan. Even the more respectable
of the speakers at that meeting de-
nounce the affair, and w. o. Smith
does not hesitate to put upon it his
stamp of disapproval.
