At 4 o'clock Friday afternoon in

stood waiting expectantly. their eyes
on twenty-three leaders. The leaders
were anxiously watching the move
ments of a young man, in heuten-

A bugle blew and 10000 semaphore
flags came up, making a flash of color
half block square. Ten thousand
spectators stood open mouthed at the
spectacle.

name of the school, starting with Clay
and finishing with Central Park
Then again in unison the 5000 child

which had been furnishing gratis, its
services for the drill broke into The

came a burst of applause from the
spectators which has rarely been

stepped down from the steps ana
called out, That's all, boys and girls.
Five thousand school children knew
that Lieutenant MacLean, who had
originated the idea of the drill ana
had come from the border to instruct
them, was leaving to rejoin his battery
at Eagle Pass that night, and they
started for him, each determined to
tell him goodby. For thirty-five min

responding to the "Goodby. lieuten-
ant" shouted by the enthusiastic chill

gloves were ruined, but it was happy
time for the lieutenant.
on the outskirts of the throng
Mrs MacLean stood holding IA
months-old Bob MacLean, watching
the tribute of the school children to
her husband. Her face showed that
il was a happy time for her also.
A Topeka man who watched. to its

voiced general sentiment. 1T would
rather have 5000 children think that

BACON AND CALDER
WILL FIGHT TO LAST
Rivals for g.. 0. p. Nomination
for Senator Kept Busy
Speaking.

Robert Bacon and william NJ. Calder
are to keep up their fight for the Repub-
lican nomination for United States Sen
ator to the last minute. Mr.. Bacon was
speaking yesterday at various towns
through Long Island, while Mr.. Calder
vas busy in Kings county. speaking.
among other places. at the Antietam
Day celebration in Prospect Park.
On Monday both Mr.. Bacon and Mr..
Calder have engagements to address dis
trict organizations In this city In the
evening. They will receive the returns
at their respective headquarters Tuesday
night.
Alarmed at the strength shown In tho
last few days by the Bacon campaign,
the Republican leaders have been calling
their captains together and ordering
them to get out every vote they can for
Calder on the plea that his success would
mean the overthrow of Chairman Tan
ner and the present organization.
Mr.. Bacon's supporters said that such
an idea was the rankest kind OF nom
sense that Mr.. Bacon Was not fighting
the organization or any leader in the
Organization and that II he secured the
nomination ne would not lift a finger 10
overthrow any one or side with any
faction. They insisted that this repor,
was only one of many circulated by the
Calder people to distract attention from
the real issue-which was the better
man for the office Of Senator.
The Calder people claimed yesterday
that a las, minute canvass made 10y
them through the State showed the Cal
der strength TO be even greater than
when Mr. Bacon entered the lists and
showed convinclngly that Mr.. Calder
would win by a large majority.
