Another inspiring meeting was held last
evening by the NOn-Partisan club of the
Twenty eighth Assembly District.
The chair was held by e-Prasident
Green, who called the meeting to order.
By unanimous vote the usual order Of the
club was dispensed with and Chairman
Green addressed the meeting.
The subject of his remarks, which were
well received, was the duty of voters on
election day.
He pointed out how. IN consequence of
desperation. the polls would be thronged
with men who. at the bidding of the bosses
were ready 10 perpetuate any crime to effect
their ends. 1t behooved the members 10 be
on their guard against such men.
1t would not be necessary to point out
the steps 10 take in order to foil these cor
rupt intimidaters of honest voters. The
good sense Of his hearers would suggest the
proper and most effectual means But he
would earnestly urge upon them the absO-
Lutte necessity for vigilance. which he re-
minded them was 'the price of liberty"

sickness he had been unable to attend the
