The Democrats CT Petal feel very
great interest in the pending presiden-

should feel.
Last night they had a rousing meet
ing at the school house and organized
a Bryan and Kern Club about all the
voters joining.
The Democrats of Petal had invited
Senator D. M. Watkins to come over
and make a speech for them and the
senator invited Hon. c. F. Reddoch
to accompany him. They were greet
ed by a good-sized audience of ladies'
and gentlemen, and Senator Watkins.

his eloquence and demonstrated that
he was thoroughly familiar with the
issues of this campaign. 1t was a

preciated by the cultured and intelli-
gent people who heard him.

Democrat. Hon. c. F. Reddoch, was

exposition of Democratic doctrine and
held the close attention of his audi

DR.. w. L. Lee presided and after
the speaking, the club list was opened
and from the number of signatures it
is certain that Petal stands a good
show to be the banner Bryan and Kern
box of Forrest County on Novem-
Der 3, in proportion to the number of
votes polled. A good collection for
national campaign expenses was
raised.
