grain, was the most attractive, as it
was so prettily arranged. The walls
were banked with greenery from
nurseries, the display of a local
French nurseryman, Louis Letten. in
the suburbs of the city, being fine. He
showed apple trees, grape vines a
year old, hedges, and general nursery
stock, including asparagus grass, and
Mareschal Neil rose vines.
One end of the room had the walls
lined with sugar cane of different
varieties and lengths. The tables
down the center length of the room
were loaded with corn, shucked and
unshucked, with sheaves of wheat
and oats in the center, as fine as is
grown anywhere Tall arches built
over the tables and decorated with
field grasses made this exhibit unusn-
ally pretty, showing that even the
weeds of Forrest county are useful =
if only as an ornament.

Mayor Donald Speaks.

Mayor Donald opened the exercises
with the history of the inception and
first prosperity celebration. He told
how things had gone dead wrong"
for three years and how the cour-
ageous men of Hattiesburg got
together and declared for Prosperity,
and 10 Prosperity turned her smil-
ing face towards Hattiesburg and had
been increasing her bountios day by
day and month by month. The speak
er paid tribute to this God-favored
country, its climate, it's industries, it's
resources, and greatest of all, its in
domitable and courageous people.
After citing the results and progress
of the last three years, he drew
picture of the coming five years, which
he said would witness the greatest
industrial and agricultural awaken
ing in South Mississippi the South
had ever experienced. He extended
welcome to all, thanked the people
for their progressive spirit and har-
monious efforts, and said that what
ever benefited Hattiesburg benefited
all South Mississippi, territory larg-
er than the state of Massachusetts.

GROSVENOR PAYS
TRIBUTE TO LEE
Governor of Ohio Declares That an
Omission From Constitution Was
Cause of Civil War.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 14.-That
an omission from the constitution of
the United States caused the civil
war was the assertion of Gen. Chas.
H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who delivered
the annual oration here before the
society of the Army of the Cumber-
land and the Survivors of Wilders
Brigade.
THE clause AN indissoluble union
of indissoluble States was the omis-
sion from the constitution that caused
the war; said he.
You Confederate soldiers did not
believe you were compelled to stay in
the Union. Lee, Jackson, Calhoun
and other great men of the South,
stood upon that question. They did
what they believed was right.
"They saw the constitution as it was
adopted without the clause. There
was not provision in the constitu.
tion by which the Union of States
could have been legally perpetual"
said Gen. Grosvenor.
The speaker paid glowing tribute
to the American soldier, his valor
and his determination to fight for the
cause he believed to be just.
OF Gen. Robert f. Lee, he said:
"He was the greatest soldier of the
South. | have read of the greatest
Americans and studied them, but l
can say to my comrades of the G.. A.
r. We licked the best man of them
ALL"
Gen. Grosyenor closed with a trib-
ute to the South, complimenting her
progress since the war.
1T is time to quit waving the
bloody shirt said the speaker.
"The war is over" the Southern
soldier fought fer the principles he
believed to be right"
Studying the history of the rebel
lion doesn't stop at Appomatox. Study
what the South has done since then;
the straight movement they have
made through times of reconstruc-
ton and other depressing periods"

BERMUDA TROLLEY WAR
is GROWING SERIOUS

Hamilton, Bermuda, Oct. 14.-This
British eoloney in the midst of the sea
is agitated as never before. The
onion and tourist crops are no longer
the sole topic of conversation. The
great question Of the day is whether
or not Bermuda is to have a trolley
system, and on this matter the popu-
lation of the colony is split into bitter
ly warning factions. Since Bermuda
became British colony 300 years
ago, boats and ancient stages have
served as the sole means of local
transportation. Now a Canadian COM
pany has been organized to build a
traction systed connecting the towns
of the islands. Thousands of people
here-whites as we'll as blacks-have
never seen a trolley car or railway
train, and are opposing the innova-
tion with almost superstitious dread.
An attempt was made some time ago
to Introduce automobiles into Bermu-
da, but the frightening of horse by
one of the machines, causing an acci-
dent, led to such public clamor that
the local Legislature passed a law
prohibiting the operation of motor
cars in the colony

REPUBLICAN FUNERAL
PROCESSION TONIGHT

Tonight is the last night Of the cam
paign and the Democratic party will
make it the red-letter night for it is the
eve of Democratic victory.
Incidentally the Republicans have ar
ranged to have funeral procession
with torchlights to light their defeated
cause to the yawning grave of public
indignation and retribution for their
unsavory methods, high-handed bluff
and hand-in- glove bossism with the Spe-
cial Interests.
The Democrats will march with
torchlights and music, stirring the en-
thusiasm of the multitude for what is
bound to come tomorrow. great Dem
ocratic landslide, and the Republicans
will also march, to the scaffold erected
at the polls by the big majority which
stands for straightforward government
of the people, for the people, and by the
people.
There will be two great spectacles to-
night-the procession of the coming vic
tors. the Democrats, and the marching
OF the already defeated Republicans,
who in their hearts know that their des
tiny is defeat, retribution for their sins.
Tomorrow comes victory for the Dem
ocrats. No small victory of mere poll
tics, but the triumph of cause wherein
are involved the best interests of the
public The people will win tomorrow
at the polls through the victory of the
Democratic party.
1t is all over but the shouting of the
Democrats and the weeping and wailing
of the Republicans-wailing for their
lost cause, cause which they have lost
for the reason that they have been un-
true to the trust reposed in them by the
people, since they have outrageously al
lied themselves with the Special Inter-
ests which have no thought of the well
fare of the people. The Republicans
have lost because they have tried to
govern through the power of money
and have unscrupulously sold the peo-
pie s welfare to the Special Interests.

CONTEMT|BLE TRICK
OF PARK COMMITTEE

With customary selfshness and dis
regard of the rights of others, the Re-
publican members of the Park Commit
tee of the board Of supervisors = Jim
Quinn, Bill Aylett and Kane-have by
a contemplate trick taken away from
Mayor Fern the privilege of disposing
of Aala Park for tonight, and have
hogged it for their own party.
Although the Park Committee is
nominally in charge of Aala Park, it
has by tacit consent delegated to the
Mayor during his entire term of office
the right to dispose of the park This
being the case, when the Democrats,
many weeks ago, applied to Mayor
Fern for Aala Park for their closing
rally tonight, the Mayor granted the re-
quest, and it was supposed that the
question was settled
But several weeks afterward the Re-
publicans concluded that they wanted
the park and they made application for
it to the board of supervisors, though
they knew that it had already been as
signed to the Democrats.
Last week the Park Committee of
the board, consisting, as above stated,
of three Republican members, Quinn,
Aylett and Kane, held hurried meet
ing at which they took the park for this
special occasion out of the hands of
Mayor Fern, repudiated his agreement,
and voted to turn it over to the Repub-
icans. AS a great favor they did con-
sent that the Democrats might erect an
other stand at the mauka end and hold
their rally there.
This is fair sample Of the way May
or Fern has been handicapped by the
Republican board of supervisors during
his entire administration. They have
The Democrat. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1910-1910, 1910-11-07

opposed him at every turn, repudiated
his agreements, and then blamed him
for not doing things which they would
not let him do.
And they have been ably seconded by
the Republican press. The Demo-
Gratis having no paper in Honolulu, it
has been comparatively easy for the Re-
publican papers to blame Fern for ev-
erything that did not go right. Every
time the Republican board of supervi-
sors made bad break, the Republican
press has tried to lay the blame on the
shoulders Of Mayor Fern.
But this need not happen during the
next administration. 1t is certain that
Fern will be reelected and with Dem
ocratic board of supervisors to back him
up, he will be able to accomplish the
things for the good of the municipality
that the Republican board has thus far
prevented him from accomplishing
If the voters will elect Democratic
board to aid the Democratic Mayor, the
Democrats will then be willing to take
the responsibility for what happens.
But house divided against itself can
not stand. Vote the straight Democrat
The Democrat. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1910-1910, 1910-11-07

ic ticket and you will see good results
as soon as the new municipal officers are
sworn in.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Re-
publicans have hogged the bandstand
at Aala Park, the chief meeting there
tonight will be at the maulSa end where
the Democrats will hold forth. All
Democrats should come out and join in
the cheering of their candidates on to
victory.
The Democrat. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1910-1910, 1910-11-07

Coercion and intimidation are what
the Republicans and the Special Inter-
ests are depending upon for success at
the polls. However, as they cannot tell
which way you vote, you are safe in
voting the straight Democratic ticket,
and You Should Vote the Democratic
Ticket Straight.
