New Orleans, Dec. 10, 1911.
Expressing absolute confidence
that he will carry New Orleans by
a good majority, Judge Hall appear
ed last night befor, the voters Of
the Second Ward at mass meeting
which packed Turner'S Hall, in Clio
street, near Dryades, despite the
rainy weather, about 700 people be-
ing present. Senator Gueydan, run
ming mate of Judge Hall, and Con-
gresham A. P. Pujo, both addressed
the gathering.
The expression of Judge Hall was
received by the audience with wild
enthusiasm. The candidate was
cheered full minute after uttering
it and the action of the crowd show
ed that the Judge was merely voiclng
the prevailing sentiment
"Since the beginning of the cam
paign we have heard the ring song
about the big majority it will get in
New Orleans" Judge Hall said.
Fellow citizens, I've been here sew
eral days and from the showing
we've made, I'll tell you they can't
do it,
1--WE are going to carry New Or
leans by a good majority. We are
going to do 1t because we have the
same manhood here to-day that over
threw the carpet bag government IN
1878. The registration rolls are
clean; an absolute fair election is as
sured; the splendid manhood of the
city is aroused and with us. It's
ours.
with the country lined up for us
and the manhood of the city aroused,
we are going to win; they can't pos
sibly defeat us.
The meeting was opened by J. j..
O'Brien, president of the Second
Ward Good Government League
Club, who introduced DR.. T. w.
Breaux, the chairman of the even
ing. Besides the three candidates,
the three speakers were R. B. But
Ter, of Terrebonnc, l.. e. Thomas, OF
:, Shreveport, and James Wilkinson.
