the storm of "Wednesday night, tho pro-
ceedlnys of the Christian Endeavor soci-

The morning meetings In the big tent
were characterized by a remarkable dis
play Of enthusiasm and good feeling. In
the afternoon tho weather became more
propitious and the sun came out bright
and warm. The program called for de-
hominational services In no less than
twenty eight separate places, and these
were generally well attended
The Baptists and the Presbyterlans had
the use OF the two remaining big tents
and they made the most of them. The
former completely filed Tent Washing
ton, and under the direction of Rev. G. A.
Barbour, Of Rochester, N. Y, "A most en-
thusiastic meeting was held and stirring
addresses were delivered by some of the
most noted divines Of the country, In
Tent Endeavcr tho Presbyterians held out
and here also the superabundant zeal Of
the assembled throngs manifested itself
IN frequent applause of the many notable
speakers and In the swinging vim with
which the choruscs were rendered.
The Congregationalsts had lost their
home with the fall Of Tcnt Williston, but
the local COMMITTEES proved equal to the
occasion, and provided for them hand
somely by assigning to their use the big
central hall in tho center Of the city,which
easily seated all of the Congregationalists
who desired to attend the afternoon dc.
nominational rally.

IN AID OF THE CHARTER,
Prominent Organizations Ad
dress the Election Com
mission.
Resolution Passed Placing the Charter
at the Head of the Electoral
Ballot

The Merchants Association and other
prominent organizations. represented by
joseph Britton, president of the Board Of
Freeholders; Captain William l.. Merry
secretary of the Chamber of Commerce
I. J. Truman, president OF the Civic Fedora
ton; W. g. Doane. director OF the MeF-
chants Association; F. w. Dohrmann
president of the Merchants Association
and ]. Richard Freud, secretary of the
Merchants Association, appeared before
the Election Commissioners yesterday tc
urge that the proposed new charter be
given a prominent place on the electoral
ballot at the next election.
Joseph Britton opened the discussion by
stating that at the invitation Of the Board
of Election Commissioners the committee
was present to urge the placing OF the
charter IN favorable position upon the
electoral ticket.
e. w. Dohrmann then addressed the
committee for the purpose OF showing the
necessity of placing the words Tor the
new charter" or against the new charter
in such position upon the ballot that II
would not be overlooked. He then asked
the Com issioners whether there was any
necessity for discussion of this subject.
Commissioner Block offered a resolution
authorizing the Registrar to prepare the
ballot so that the charter would appear al
the head of the municipal ticket. This
resolution gave rise to some discussion IN
which it became apparent that all the
mem bers of the board we're favorable to
the resolution, but were not certain that
the board had the legal authority to so
arrange the ballot.
Auditor Broderick stated that he was
strongly In favor of having the position OF
the charter at the head OF the municipal
