WHEN THEY HEARD FROM
CALIFORNIA
lBy r. c. NJ. Celina |


Crack, boom, crack; what's going on?
IL sounds very much as though
something Is wrong
We can hear a bell ringing and with
out any doubt
We can hear people talking and hear
people shout.
Hark! we hear music-it Is of the
band,
As they proclaim the election of
great and just man,
They just received the news in this
city by the lake,
And with loud rejoicing they make
the country shake.
The autos are running to and fro
And footing their horns wherever
they go,
People are acting as though they are
mad,
But we know by thair shouts tney
are happy and glad
We know by their shouts and with
pistol and gun,
They are proclaiming of Wilson that
he has just won.
They are telling him plainly, If he
was but here,
That he ruled just and wisely all
through the past year;
They are telling him quite plainly
that he's just the man
TO rule and presid" over this pros
porous land.
They are happy to think Wilson's
back in his place,
To take care of our country and it's
troubles to face
