Hundred People
The Democracy of the city had just
a wee bit Of campaign opening on
Saturday night when the Cook County
Marching Club Of Chicago, the club
which made Robert Emmett Burke
famous, passed through the city en-
route for Milwaukee and stopped over
long enough to allow the members of
the club to uncork few minutes of
latent oratory. The Democratic com
mittee on reception was not in evil
dence and none of the real leaders. of
the party was on hand when Presi-
dent McMann stepped out on the rear
platform of the train to receive the
greeting that had been expected 1t
was so chilly reception that the band
which is really a splendid musical
organization . got off the train and
marched up and down the platform
playing "Aug Lang Syne" and then
a small crowd gathered about the rear
end of the train and the speech MAX
ing began. There were calls for
Burke and Hinky Dink and some one
remembered Carter Harrison, but none
of these worthless was on board the
train and President McMann stepped
out and started things off by telling
Of the glories of the Cook County De
mocracy. He ended up by introduc
ing Miles T. Devine, the marshal Of
tho club. Devine started something
doing by declaring that "Illinois, the
state of Lincoln and Douglas, would
this year vote for Bryan and Kern. y
He declared that the Republicans to-
day admitted that Illinois was
doubtful state and that when Bryan
had sounded the keynote Of the cam
paign in Milwaukee, Wisconsin would
also join the list of the doubtful
column. He declared that the Cook
County Club was an organization of
men which went about the country
preaching Democracy and that he was
proud to say that the club had carried
the doctrine from Ocean to Ocean and
that it would have it's greatest triumph
when it went to Washington next
March to march amidst the plaudits
of the people as the escort to William
Jennings Bryan, as the next president
of the United States. The crowd then
called for Senator Daniels of West Vir-
ginia who was a member of the party
and he spoke for ten minutes. The
speech was not a set speech out the
former senator made some hot shots
at the Republicans. He declared that
no one could speak in place Of Bryan,
but that he had come near to this as
ne had at one time shaken hands with
$4,000 people who came to greet the
that the Republicans had shifted the
issues Of the campaign SO often that
the Democrats did not know what they
hau to meet and that after dropping
one issue after another the Repubi-
cans were now seeking to obscure the
real issues of the campaign by cam
paign of mud singing. He said that
people had supposed Taft was the real
Republican candidate for president,
but that recent developments had
shown that it was the same old candi-
date regardless of the name. He de.
clared that the trusts were pouring
funds into the hands of the Repub
llcan campaign managers and that
the trusts had controlled the country
for the past twelve years and that the
domination Of the great corporations
was due entirely to the Repubh-
can party and that the way to
get rid of the domination of the
trusts was to demand change
in government and demand that the
people anu not the great corporations
rule.
This ended the speech making, but
up at the head of the train quartettc
was still singing when the train
pulled out. The band left behind a
touch Of melody that could be heard
almost until the train reached Berry
vile.
A number of the local Democrats
were invited to make the trip with the
club to Milwaukee and several of them
accepted the invitation and spent
the night in the state metropolis.
The members Of the club returned
to Chicago Sunday afternoon, but the
train stopped for only minute in Ke-
nosha and no red fire was released.
