Like the mythical Phoenix, which rose from its own ashes, the National Order of Elephants, organised here during the Mayor John L. Duvall regime, came to life Saturday and took the Leslie day meeting at Lafayette by storm.

The meeting had started and Harry G. Leslie, G. O. P. gubernatorial candidate, in whose honor the event had been arranged in his home town, had delivered his address. Then with a blare of trumpets from the N. O. E. women's drum corps, in marched the Marion County delegation, almost one thousand strong. Its forces were almost equal to those of the “home folks” who had assembled to honor their native son. Elephants heading the delegation wore N. O. E. caps of elephant design. Tutewiler in Charge The Marion County delegation included George V. Coffin, Seventh district chairman, and Omer Hawkins, county chairman. Harry Tutewiler seemed to be in charge of the Elephants, although Sumner Clancy, State Senator, is president of the organization. The organization has received little publicity since Duval! and the councilmen of his regime were shorn of power. Tutewiler, in a “whispering” cam-

Among the ardent greeters of the Elephants was Governor Ed Jackson, who, at that time, was not on the speakers’ platform, but standing with the crowd in the rear. He shook hands with several of the mambers and seemed to enjoy the pageantry.
