Park police, IA strong. stood help

estimated at $1,000, tore chunks of
meat from the divided oxen, grabbed
up buns and baskets of tomatoes and
uncooked corn.
Impatient but genial, the crowd
roared when Charles P. Berndt, rally
director, mounted a table in the hall,
beseeching them to wait.
If you fight as hard for James as
you do for this food, we'll win," he
cried.

Caught in the melee were Judge

hall, the candidates and their party
struggled 100 feet into the clear.
Judge James shouted Ladies first

him while the others pushed behind.
Eleven members OF a brass band,
hindered by their instruments, were
tossed about like the paper plates

Tables laden with almost SO, 900 buns
were upset, 10000 ears of corn piled

the ground. Olives and pickles were
added to the greasy mess along with
OK gravy from the oven.
As the rush started a chant Of

Leaders snatched the big chunks OF
meat, some pieces weighing as much
as so pounds and tossed it to the wait

grabbed sliced pieces and wrapped
them in paper or whatever was handy
Several persons were knocked to the
ground but the park hospital received
no reports Of injuries. Six small chill

the troubled European situation for
