Mils MASTER'S VOICE." lo K
"Bull .Moose" Heard publishes in l''!,n
u recent issue of The State, a letter rm>"
purporting to have neen written by FOns
"Curly Headed" Johnny McLaurin
last November, Just after that notable
meeting of the Blease coat-tail 1"
swingers at the Jefferson Hotel, in be
which Carroll Sinitus got the ap- 1
plause, much to the chagrin of Mc- f f
Laurin, who was present. The letter Seni
is addressed "To my friends," and bav<
scores the whole Blease aggregation, den
save Blease alone, who is extolled in ern
tine fashion. He compares the Jef- "id!
ferson Hotel niTair to a regular of '
'Helshazzar's tetst, wherein tlun- ?nt
aeys competed for the favor of their i|f''
nnster and mountebank tricks of We
peeeh befogged the plain* men '
resent." He save the meeting was ^b'
;i "dismal failure" and that the voice ?1?'
,r of sense and reason was drowned in Sl,r
the clink of glasses and the prompt- it?
ings of wisdom in thA mauldlin t?
mouthings of cheap demagogues i0(''
drunk with the novelty of success." ^ao
Mr McLaurin, however, makes it wo
plain thnt he excepts himself and his the
friend, Hlease, from the severe stric- era
tures he heaps on the Hlease crowd
generally. hel
Our opinion is that Hlease was just 001
as much the "master" of McLaurin
as of any of the other coat-tail
^wingers, and he would have readily tin
responded to that "master's voice" if en
It had called to him. th<
