DAISIES WON'T TELL" SMITHS
OLD SONG, TRUE AS EVER TODAY
Organization Candidates Campaign Button, Wreathed
in Daisies Explained by Romance of the Good
Old Postofice Days
By FRANKLIN

The Smith button is a dainty little
white circle, edged with a wreath of
daisies in the centre of which appears
in exquisite good taste and with the
fastest kind of simple tenderness, tho
magic name of Smith.
The Smith referred to is, of course,
Thomas b. Smith, the Republican Or
ganization's candidate for Mayor.
Now, there was some mystery about
this button. Numbers of persons wanted
to know about it, but didn't like to ask.
They felt bashful about 1t, because It
was too much like asking a girl what
1t was she was wearing on the third fin
ger of her left hand. 1t seemed that Mr..
Smith was-well, engaged to some mystic
personality who was very fond Of
daisies.
Her secret came out today. Romance
must have its day, but there comes a time
when the world must know. She is the
Organization, and she is very fond of
daisies. Because why? Well, you see, 1t
was this way: about the time that she
and Mr.. Smith were walking out together
on Postofiice Plaza there came out a new
song. ct is old now, that song, but
there's, nothing like the old songs, there's
nothing like ira la la la, etc.). This sweet
song went (and still goes) like this:
There's sweet old story
You haze heard before,
Here among the daisies
Let me tell 1t Ger;
Only sag you LoUe me
For / love you aUeU;
AnslUer 1Oith kiss, dear,
Daisies never tell.
Chorus.
Daisies Won't tell, dear,
Come, kiss me, do;
Tell me you LoUe me,
Say you'll be true,
And / lOiH promise
ALlUGys to be
Tender and faithful,
Sweetheart, to thee.

In dream fdncied
You aUere By my side,
While I gathered daisies,
One long chain you tied;
Round as both I 1Uoutd 1t,
Close held you, too;
Daisies never tell, dear,
Make that dream come true.
Cho.-Ddisies won't tell, dear, etc.
Daisies won't tell. What won't they
tell? Why won't they tell? How won't
they tell? When won't they tell? All,
lovers, you know, you know. For in
stance this silent Mr.. Smith, faithful to
a dream, won't tell just what the Organi-
cation is going to do about lot of things
IL the message of the daisies is fulfilled
in a perfect marriage on November 9,
when, If Mr.. Smith has his way, the
whole world shall see him welded to his
ideal, bound for life.
Daisies won't tell whether common folk
shall pay cents or cents for ride in
the trolley cars. They have daintier and
tenderer things to think about. Neither
will Mr.. Smith tell. He says only ignor-
amuses will decide such things in a
hurry, that is to say after the months
and months, nay, after the more than two
years that the issue has been before the
public. ...
Daisies won't tell and neither will Mr..
Smith-but enough; hear another version
of the old song:
It's the same old story
You haze heard before;
Here among the gangsters
Smith tOiU tell it DER;
Only cote for me, boys,
For I loUe you 1OeU;
TH Gns1Oer lUith fat Jobs, bops,
Bosses neUer tell.
Bosses never tell boys, come join US,
