FROM MISS sTREvER

The following Is taken from let
ter received by Mrs. w. e. Strever
from her daughter. Frances, in WASH
jngton. D. c.. regarding the celebra-
tfon on Monday, Nov. IL.
I'VE got out of the office In the
afternoon and went to the capitol
about 1870, hoping to hear the Presi-
dents speech to Congress, but every
one was leaving so we turned back
towards home. Outside the capitol
grounds a delivery wagon drew up
and bunch of girls rushed up, Mil
dred and / among them. and piled
in. We were in last so got to sit
behind with our feet hanging out.
We paraded down Pennsylvania ave-
nue and had lovely ride of several
miles before they had to dump us.
The streets were filled with autos.
trucks, ETC., of all sorts loaded to
the limit, and If they had not been
moving one could not have told which
end was which, so little of the cars
could be seen. Well, Mildred and
started down the street again and a
moving van stopped at the side and
we were among another bunch that
climbed in. We had another nice
ride and they took us up near where
the parade was to start so we got off
and stayed.
This was the parade for the United
War Workers campaign. and as we
were close to 1t we got fine view.
They had floats for each of the or
ganizations. Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., X.
of c., Salvation Army, etc. and they
were, surely fine. The Y.M.C.A. float
was a small hut. built on car. had
screen walls with a piano and the
boys inside singing and having good
time. There were several fine bands
and crowds of soldiers. sailors, mar
ines and army and navy prep. bows,
all of them looking so fine in the drill.
but believe / was Interested more in
the cavalry. 1t seems that the horses
almost knew the signals of the cap
tain's sabre, and when they had to
swing around corner they did so
almost in perfect line, Just like SOL
dfers marching.
In the evening we went to the
Y. w. and heard an American girl.
who escaped from Conatantinople.
She gave a very interesting talk.
Ellispse where they had camD fires
for each state. people gathering
around their respective fires and get
ting acquainted. They used some
thing which made red fires and the
effect was beautiful. Lucy Mundell
was the only one saw that I knew.
On the way home we passed the
President going down the avenue, but
he was right in the middle OF the
jam of cars, so not many recognized
him. As he was leaving the capitol
that day after his speech to Congress,
they said a white dove appeared from
somewhere and. circled around his
car. following 1t some distance. then

PHIPPs MAKES STATEMENT

1T affords me great pleasure to
congratulate the people of our state
over the election of the Republican
candidates who, feel sure. will ex-
tend their best individual and united
effort to give them an administration
of state affairs that will be above
criticism.
The independent Judgment OF the
voters, as expressed at the polls.
should be taken by President Wilson
as an indication that he has nothing
to fear in the advancement of his
policies for the proper conclusion and
settlement of the great war questions,
as our people, regardless of party. are
united in favoring whatever may ap-
pear necessary. right and Just, and
he may expect in the future as he has
had in the past, the loyal support
of the Republicans Notwithstanding
the fact. as now seems assured, that
there will be Republican majority
not only in the House but in the
Senate as well.
1T is perhaps proper for me at
this time. on behalf of all of the can
didates no our ticket. as well as for
myself, to extend to the citizens hear
ty thanks for the confidence which
they have reposed in us and to give
assurance that their faith has not
been misplaced.
''To this may add that am deep
ly conscious of the great trust placed
in my hands as the highest honor
within the gift of our people, and it
is my intention to extend my best
effort and 20 earnestly strive at all
times to fulfill that trust, to merit
their confidence, and the Judgment
which they have expressed at the
polls" LAWRENCE C. PHIPPS.
