McAdoo Draws Massive Mississippi Crowd at State Fair
Thousands of Mississippians packed Jackson's State Fair grounds Sunday to hear Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo. He condemned demagogues and filibusters blocking war measures, praised Congress for backing the war effort, and urged Americans to sacrifice, noting half soles and thrift stamps as patriotic acts. He walked, spoke from the heart, and praised the crowd's war spirit, calling Mississippi's role crucial in defeating the Kaiser.
