DEMOCRATIC CLUBS,
Present Work of the National Association
in This City.

In This City.
The recent convention of the Republican Ma
tional League at Louisville has drawn attention
to such organizations, and today a STAR re-
porter ran across the headquarters of the SINH
lar organization IN the democratic party. This
is thu National Association of Democratic
Clubs, with headquarters at the Loan and Trust
building. Mr.. Lawrence Gardner is the secre-
tary OF the association, and today he stopped
work long enough to say something about the
work Of the organization.
"The correspondence" said Mr. Gardner, ''is
OF the most varied character. People are writ
ing constantly from everywhere, wanting spe-
cial information and special documents on all
OF the great subjects that are now before the
country, espe cially tariff and financial docu-
ments. During the past three months the Office
has been in receipt of letters from lyceums and
debating societies wanting reports and informa-
ton. There is another class Of correspondence
that requires considerable attention, and that
is the college debating society. In a great
many OF the colleges debates have been arranged
Tor commandments, and it is astonishing the
number Of debates there are on the questions
OF the day. The work of the Office goes on
gradually without show. the association not be-
ing believer in the brass band and torchlight
theory Of making converts. that day having
passed in politics In fact quietly is the
work done that none except those directly in
terested have any idea of what they are doing.
Mr.. W. L. Wilson. chairman Of the executive
committee. is in the city frequently and assists
with his counsel. Gov. Chauncey F. Black Of
Pennsylvania, president Of the association,
comes to Washington about every two weeks
Tin fact is in the city at presently, so that he
keeps thoroughly posted on all that is being
done."s
In regard to the question as to how the asso-
citation acted in relation to applicants for Office,
Mr. Gardner said that it was an understood rule
with the association that the officers should not
interfere in matters Of that kind in their official
capacity. 1--WE have had a great many letters
from clubs" Mr.. Gardner continued, seeking
the Endorsement of the national association for
candidates that they had put forward in their
localities. but in every instance it has been
refused, rs the objects and purposes Of the asso-
citation do not contemplate interfering in such
matters"
In relation to the difference in the plan OF
organization between the National Republican
League and the National Association Of Demo-
cratic Clubs 1t may be said that their entire
plans are directly opposed to each other. the
republican league being formed to centralize
the power of all the clubs in their national
league, whereas the democratic organization is
trying to do just the contrary. preventing q
Capitalization and leaving all power with the
clubs themselves.

Commissioner Lyman Talks Temperance
Mr.. Charles Lyman Of the civil service COM
mission addressed the meeting Of the Father
Mathew Total Abstinence Society last evening
at the hall corner 5th and G streets northwest.
The speaker showed from an economic stand
point how necessary it was for the wage
worker to be q total abstainer.
Referring to the amount expended directly
in strong drink in this country. he said: 1.-TWO
thousand millions of dollars year is the sum
expended in this country for drink. We're the
country to be taxed by the government for any
purpose for that amount the people would de-
clare thew were terribly tax-ridden. This is
worse than tax; it is waste-thrown away.
1t is moral waste. have no right to waste
anything that comes into my possession. be it
property or money. / am bound morally to
use it for good purpose. Nobody has ever
succeeded in proving that beer benefits the
system. The most intelligent physicians have
stated it is not good for medicine. Therefore
money expended for it is absolute waste.
will not undertake. to discuss how this vast
amount Of money could be used for the benefit
of this country" For the result of this waste
the speaker referred the audience to the in
mates of the poor houses, the prisoners in the
penitentaries and the condemned murderers
awaiting the gallows or the electric chair.
At the conclusion of the address a vote of
thanks was rendered the speaker by the society.
Miss Springman recited with good effect 1.-THE
Martyred Mother"
Mr.. Edward J. Redmond urged those present
to do their duty as good citizens by refusing to
sign a petition for license to sell liquor and
influence their friends not to sign.
At the conclusion Of the meeting ten men
took the pledge of total abstinence.
