KUMR|DS WILL
HAVE It ALL To
themselves
MUCH HERALOED PICNIC WILL
NOT ATTRACT MANY BUT
MEMBERS OF THAT PART!cU.
LAR PARTY.

When it became known that the
great farmers (?) picnic, advertised
to take place at Wilmington park
July q to 30 was nothing more or
less than an excuse for socialist
gathering in which some of the spell.
binders of that party have been ad-
yertised to participate. Harry B.
Harts, chairman of the park Joard,
came in for considerable josling at
the hands of his friends for letting
the kumrids slip one over on him
in such manner.
This morning, in expressing his
views and explaining his position,
Mr.. Harris said:
Il thought it was non-political,
non-partisan picnic, and of course i'm
mediately gave permission to hold it
in the park. However, if they had
told me it was to be a socialistic
affair l would have given the permis-
sion just as quickly. l cannot un-
derstand why subterfuge should have
been used. There was no need of it, |
so far as we were concerned. The |
park is for all the people, and no |
distinction will ever be made. All |
we ask is that the privilege is not
abused, and that the park is cleaned
up after its use. | am afraid there
are others who feel this way, and will
resent such manner of procedure"
Continuing further, Mr.. Harts sta
ted that he had an agreement with
the promoters of the affair that they
were to deposit twenty-five dollars
in the First National bank to cover
the expense of cleaning the park after
the picnic, the same to be returned
to them when the work was done sat
to the board He stated
that the money has not been deposit
tied, and unless it was, there would be
no picnic.
1t is true the promoters have writ
ten to Congressman Carter, Governor
Williams and other state and national
figures, as well as all the county
inviting them to be pres :
ent, but they failed to enclose a pro-
gram of the events in which the
socialist speakers occupy the promi-
inent position on the card, and the
chances are that the red card breth-
ren will be the only ones present on
his festive occasion.
