QUARTET HAD HARD
TIME tn GET HtEt

led the Christian EndeavOr Society
meeting, taking for his subject,
Mountain Scenes in Bible Stories
after which the pastor, Rev. James
H. Northrup, preached a sermon from
the subject, The Day Star
The feature that drew the crowd
was the quartet that was to render
vocal and instrumental music and
which did not appear until the meet
ing was nearly over. They had tele-
graphed to Mr.. Northrup in the al
/ ternoon telling what time they would
get here, but the telegraph office be-
inc closed Sunday afternoon the mes
sage was not delivered.
The quartet arrived at the depot
in New York just to see the train
pull out. They t%elephoned to New
ark TO a friend who came with his
automobile and brought them to th1;
citv. where they were held up Tor
time to put lights on theI macnlhe
So, between the poor telegraph ser
vice, missing of the train and belns
held up in this city, it was dark wheI
they reached the meeting.
The Provincial Quartet belongs 4
the Salvation Army Of New 4ori
and delighted the people. They WeT'
hIndered by the darkness. The quar-
tet is composed of Captains Youni
and Darby, Ensign Barrett and Lieu
tenant Tummer. Two comets,
banjo and a euphonium were the in
struments they used.
This was the last open-air meeting
for this ear Next Sunday the even
ing service will be in the church a

shall support you in the primary
election for the following princi-
pal reasons:
First Because, in my opinion,
your personal qualifications for
the office to which you aspire are
superior to those of any candi-
date in the field.
Second Because / believe that
YOU will administer the affairs of
the State as a conservative and
careful officer of a corporate body,
and not as a perfervid statesman
hungering for popular applause,
nor as a somewhat dubious Don
Quixote fitting with wind-mills
to which he but lately went for
grist.
Third Because am opposed
to and hope to see rebuked that
brand of political patriotism
whether it label itself popular
government" or reform " =
which stakes its chances OF sue
cess upon the extent to which II
can befoul the government and
upon the thoroughness with
which it can drag the good name
of the State and city in the dirt.
am stating my personal views
and speaking for myself alone,
The habit of the es-Democrat
of vituperating and holding w
to scorn all men who presume tt
express views different from it,
own is an element of duress ever
more subversive of free discus
sion and independent action thar
the DOGGY which that journal, il
Its editorial, has set up.
i Therefore, | presume to speal
| for no man but myself, and while
| am willing to accept the conse
|quences of the foregoing declara
ton, / limit responsibility there
| for to my own case.
j Very truly yours,

w. b. Thompson Repudiates Attack on
Ind0rsers of Michel.
Although the letter sent out
from Michel headquarters on
Aug. %, calling the attention of
the business indorsers of Mr.. Mi
chefs candidacy to the editorial
attack of the Times-Democrat on
the political independence of
these signers, called for no reply,
a large number of the indorsers
have voluntarily written Mr.. Mi
chel, renewing their fealty to his
cause and declaring that the ex-
pressions of the paper in ques-
ton by no means represented
their convictions.
Among the letters received was
one from Mr.. w. B. Thompson,
as follows:
Detroit. Mich, Aug. 81. 1911.
Hon John T. Michel AIS Hennen Building. New
Orleans, La.
Dear Mr.. Michel am just in
receipt of the communication of
your campaign committee, call
| ing attention to the Times-Demo-
crat editorial of the 23d inst,
which undertakes to minimize
the significance of the indorse-
ment your candidacy for the gov
ernorship has received at the
hands of the business community
by attacking the courage, the
good faith and the honesty of the
signers thereof.
The editorial came to my notice
a few days ago, and gave it on
ly passing attention, recognizing
it as merely symptomatic of the
Times-Democrat's extraordinary
hallucination that it knows every
thing, and that nobody outside Of
Il its limited coterie of followers
and admirers is worthy of conf
dence or respect. But since yol
have gone to the trouble of adj
dressing your indorsers on thu
subject, | take pleasure, and
good deal of pride, in advising
you that the Times-Democra
does not speak for me. No news
paper speaks for me, nor, do .
believe, for any citizen who i
disinterested and earnestly con
cerned for the public good, which
consistently employs its grea
power in fomenting discord AM
hatred at home and in inviting
contempt and suspicion iron
abroad.
