A FUNNY CHICAGO INCIDENT

The Chicago papers state that
Roosevelt and his hackers have spent
a million and half dollars in the
former presidents campaign which
has just closed-and probably forever.
The men behind the man are scared
and will probably refuse to produce
any more money. The following
illustrates how some of the money
went during the big convention.
La Toilette sympathizers to the
number of 800 organized parade and
marched from one TO another of the
more important downtown hotels sing
ing and shouting for La Toilette. Be-
fore they started on their parade q
brief meeting was held in the La Fol
lette headquarters at the Grand Pacific
hotel and few impromptu speeches
were made by members of the Wiscon-
sin delegation.
A band had been engaged to lead
the procession, but when the time for
leaving had arrived no band had APP
peared, and it was forced to go with
out music. Marching south in Michi-
gan avenue, the La Toilette men met
the band they had engaged gong
north along the avenue under Roose-
welt banners. There was hurried con-
sultatlon between the leader of the
Wisconsin delegation and the leader of
the band.
sob we went where the money
spoke loudest," said the leader of the
band, and ordered his men to strike
up lively tune so he could not hear
what the La Toilette man answered.

Sunday family gathering was held
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. William

William Lesser, Merrimack, on old
homestead farm.
r. J. Lesser, Minneapolis.
Charles Lesser, Minneapolis.
The gathering Sunday was the first
meeting at the parental home, of al
the brothers, in seventeen years. One
reason for choosing Sunday for the oc
casion is the fact that Charles Leise
celebrated his 50th birthday and FREQ
Lesser his SD birthday. The reunion
was also held as farewell to Fred 0
Lesser who leaves soon for Pekin
China, where he will resume hi
duties in connection with Y. M. &. A

scene LAST NIGHT One
NEVER TO Be FORGOTTEN
Water From the Salem Crevasse is
Still Coming in and Unless Addi
tiona Supplies Are Received Many
Will Suffer Intensely.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Tallulah, La, April 15.-Scenes
about Tallulah are almost indescriba-
bic. High water is everywhere as
far as the eye can see from ten to
fifteen feet deep. Supplies have been
received from Vicksburg but more are
needed. Unless relieved many with
out homes will suffer intensely Wa
ter from the Salem crevasse is still
coming in this morning.
The first water from the Salem
levee break, near Alsatia, showed in
northern limits of Tallulah Sunday
morning. At ten o'clock last night
the whole north side of the town was
under from four to twelve feet of wa
ter and in nearly all of the stores
north of the railroad. White people
are calm and working deliberately
fighting the flood while the negroes
are excited and making frantic eff
forts to save their belongings Bark
ing dogs and squealing pigs, lowing
cattle and general excitement made
the scene last night one never to be
forgotten. The homeless found re-
fuge at the court house, school house
and in railroad cars and on high
places. There was a boat of some
kind on nearly every porch when the
water came, or a raft in the yard. The
crevasse at Salem is reported two
thousand feet wide.

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-04-15

Several hundred patriotic citizens
of Hattiesburg gathered at the Court
house Saturday night in mass meet
ing for the purpose of furthering the
principles of commission government
especially as applied in Hattiesburg,
and by their presence and enthusiasm
gave hearty endorsement to that form
of municipal government. The meet
ing was an adjourned session of the
Friday night meeting, when weather
conditions prevented many from at
tending. The meeting served to bring
together men of every phase of politi-
cal belief, but who place the welfare
of their city above every other con-
sideration of public nature and who,
when the city is confronted with a
crisis can subordinate all personal
antagonisms and differenhe of politi-
cal opinion to the common veal
The meeting was addressed by a
number of leading citizens and the
arguments made was a further refu-
tation of the fallacious arguments of
the opposition.
Hattiesburg has as loyal citizenship
as any community in the state of
Mississippi and majority of those citi
zens earnestly and conscientously
want to see the city move along the
broadest lines of good and progress,
and when thoroughly aroused they are
generally found equal to the occasion.
So, with abiding faith in the common
sense of the citizenship of the people
and relying on their innate sense of
fair play the friends of good govern
ment confidently await the result at
the polls tomorrow, and do not be-
lieve that a minority of disgruntled
pie-hunters can muster sufficient
strength to overthrow the most rep
resentative, most economical and ef-
fcient form of government that the
mind of man has yet devised; proven
so in hundreds of cases where other
cities mismanaged and verging on
bankruptcy as the result of alder.

might and overthrown political ma

| The meeting was called to order by
E. c. Hearon. j. G. Magruder was
again made chairman, and Eugene
Fly, secretary. Mr.. Magruder an
nounced the object of the meeting as
on the night before, to be a meeting
of the citizens for free discussion of
the situation brought about by the
demand on the part of some of the
citizens for a change in the system Of
government. General discussion was
invited and E. c. Hearon was called
on to give his views. Mr.. Hearon made
an exhaustive argument in behalf of
commission government, showing
clearly that it is the most representa-
tive form under which any city could
operate at this time. He stated that
the argument had been advanced that
commission government is not repre-
sentative; that more men are needed
to look after the citys affairs. In his
opinion if three good men could not
be found, nine could not; to run the
affairs of this eight million dollar
corporation, which required most care
full management by men of proven
business ability, and big enough to
rise above petty partisan politics. Mr..
Hearon stated he believed in progress
siveness and if one system will not
work to try another, but take no
backward step. In concluding his re-
marks, the speaker stated that the
eyes of the United States are upon
Hattiesburg and that letters have
been received from distant points ask
ing the wherefore of the movement
for a change.
Commissioner Fuller.
Commissioner Fuller was again re-
quested to repeat his statement of the
night before showing what had been
accomplished during fifteen months OF
Commission rule, in spite of the many
obstacles that had to be overcome and
the unusual situations met. For the
benefit of the large crowd present
Mr.. Fuller recited in detail again the
work Of the different departments,
the equalization of taxes, the fact
that the city closed the fiscal year
with every current bill paid and the
many ether benefits that are mat
te VT public ord brought about by
