and 1t was time to get to work. Joe
Schilci, the captain of a campaign team
made up of Italian residents of the city,
made one of the best talks of the even
ing. In broken English hesdeclared that
the time for talking was past. Let the
! speech alone" he shouted, ''and let's see
| what kind of sausage We are eatin'." 1t
was stirring address and got everybody
| into fever of enthusiasm.
Chairman Exum compiimented and
| thanked the newspapers of the city for
the support they had given the preIimi-
nary work and all phases of the cam
paign. Frank p. Glass, as member of
| the executive committee. made a short
| speech, and called upon Mr.. Exum TO
| show whether or not the executive COM
( mittee had its heart in this thing by
stating how much money they were going
| to give themselves.
The campaign lists were then passed
around, and each captain and his team
/ got busy picking off the names they de-
l~sired to reserve for their own solicitation
+, for funds

length of the hall. and stats with cards
4 bearing the captains name divided the
teams into groups. The speaking was
