DEMOCRATS GEL
EBRATE The
ELECTION

About two hundred automo-
biles and several thousand people
gathered on the streets of Fitz-
gerald last night to join the pa
rade and listen to the eulogies on
the Democratic party and its
peerless leader, Woodrow Will
son. The parade started prompt
ly at 7:30, headed by L. L. Girl
ner and accompanied by the Fitz-
gerald band in the large Chero
Cola truck, the calvacade travel
ed over the most thickly settled
territory, winding up at $50 be-
fore the First National Bank,
where the speaking took place.
Atty. D. B. Nicholson, Jr.,
made the opening address,, and was
followed by popular demand by
the Hon. d. L. Martin, whose re
marks were received with great
appreciation by the assembled
D0liloe1 dts, lOSIcSSlNeS ana Ike
publicans.
The affair was quite a success,
although the audience was in con-
tinuous dread for fear the heavens
would open and drown them all.
Before the speaking was quite
over it began to rain and the
crowds scattered to the disap-
pointment of several others who
were scheduled to address the
people.
Credit for the success of the
affair is due specially to Home

Seed wheat can be bought from
all of our seed merchants and
now is the time to plant it.
Another feature that our farmers
have been wanting for some time
IS a rice cleaner. That will also

very limited quantity as an ex-
