AT POLITICAL RALLIES

If the stormy weather continues much
longer, the two campaign committees,
which almost daily announce a series OF
political rallies. will have to begin lssu-
ing rain checks.
The Citizens league has been the
worst suffering from the rain this week,
for not a single rally for the ticket
headed by Rowlett Paine has been held
The Williams ticket managed to pull
off one grand and glorious rally in Mar
ket square Wednesday night. although
why they held It there, where they
claim that every vote is with them, Ia
one of the mysteries Of the campaign.
Possibly they are not SO confident as
they claim to be, even In the First and
Second wards.
The Citizens league will hold no rail-
lies this week. Ward and precinct
meetings are held, Of course, every
thigh, for checking up the ward a
vases.
The williams ticket will hold forth
Friday night, however, according to the
bills pasted on the wall at headquar-
ters, at two parks. CASTOR, in the south
end OF the city, and at Bickford park,
in the north. The announced speakers
are Prof. G. A. Macon, Joseph Hanover,

The first day, as a rule, the boys get
aboard the big "Y" sightseeing auto
mobiles and see Paris. Then they go
by special train to the palaces OF
Versailles, Fontainebleau, Malmaison
and st. German. Next they come
back to Paris and spend a day in the
Louvre. And then those still keen
for palaces are invited to take another
trip to the Jewel of them all, the fa-
nous chateau of the Condos and Mont
morencys at Chantilly.
Thousands of American soldiers have
visited Chantilly this year and have
learned something Of a place which
many wealthy tourists overlooked. In
deed, though many Americans visited
Chantilly in years before the war, a
large percentage of them saw only the
race course and never visited the
chateau. Yet many experts hold that
though a number Of other museums
outrank 1t in size, nowhere In the
world-not excepting the Louvre-is
there a more exquisite collection OF
