ties of statesmanship found in the
men who made the south famous a
generation ago, a big mass meeting of
citizens will meet at the Escambia
county court house Monday night at
7:30 o'clock and organize an Emmett
Wilson Club.
The exceedingly fine vote which Mr.
Wilson was given in the first primary
his friends take to mean that the
people not only want a different rep
resentative in congress but nave ae
cided that Emmett Wilson Is the only
one they want:
No arrangements have been made
for the meeting in the way of a pro
gram, but there will be a number of
imnromntu speeches ana a general
gettlng-together of the supporters of
the man who led the ticket in tne con
gressional race.
Mr. Wilson's strength did not come
from any one section and his friends
in everv county or tne aietrict na o
assured him that in the second race
he will be given a much larger vote
and In some instances men who sup
nnrtpd the other candidates have been
