HOST Of PROUD MEN
MARCH FOR WOMEN
Nearly a Thousand Prominent
Citizens, Each with a Good
Reason for Being There.
NONE ACTUATED BY FEAR

Line, Instead of Kisses and
Missiles Which Assailed
Them Last Year.

Nearly thousand men in line That is

worse. but the workingnfan seemed to have

From to-day's demonstration my con-
cilsion is that the whole public sentiment

Srage is no longer regarded as joke

"OnIv one man shook his fist at me, and
dozen along the line patted me on the
shoulder and said Congratulations. old

We had delegates from New Jersey Yer

JEFFERSON CROWD
 MAY HOLD MEETING
Mobile and Montgomery Delegations to Convention Have Already Met
 and Taken Action

While no call has been issued, it Is re- ported that during the current week there will be meeting of the Jefferson county delegation which will attend the state convention, April r, in Montgomery.
 The Montgomery delegation and the Mobile delegation have already held their meetings and agreed on plans. Tn Mobile the unit rule was adopted. In Mont gomery there was a split, however, and on the floor of the convention the delegates from the Second district to the national convention will be chosen. Montgom- ery's delegation, however, indorsed the candidacy of Maj. W. w. Screws for delegate from the state at large. The Mobile delegation indorsed the candidacy of II. T. Hartwell for delegate from the First district to the national convention, and that of Legislator George J. Sullivan and F. I. Thompson as delegates from the state at large.
 Should the Jefferson delegation meet this week it will be determined whether or not the unit rule shall obtain, and 1t is probable delegates from the district and the state at large to the national convention will be indorsed.
 Should the delegation not meet this week it is probable that 1t will not meet before the day of the convention. This would make it necessary that the meeting occur in Montgomery.

In fact, it was a revelation to me- It sound ed better than some of the professional concert bands that tour the country. It was simply splendid. and Nappi cannot be too highly commended for his pains taking work The programme was made up chiefly of high class artistic music, including a Beethoven number-a move ment from the Moonlight Sonata-and I was greatly impressed with the conduct or's nterpretative reading and finiSh.
