ADDRESSED BY MRS. LOGAN
Ladies' Mckinley and Hobart Club
Holds a Meeting.
It's rganization Perfected and Plans
Made to Extend It's influence
. to Wider Fields.

The Ladies' Mckinley and Hobart Club
| perfected its organization last night at
headquarters at the National Hotel, with
Mrs. Gen. Logan in the chair, when the
following additional Officers were elected:
Vice president, Mrs. w. s. 0dell; secretary,
Miss Helen Is. Matthews; treasurer, Mrs.
N. A. Knapp.
The auxiiiary, which has increased in
membership AT teach NEE ting mustered quite
u large assemblage last night, and particu-
larly as 1t was known that Mrs Logan
was to deliver an address.
Arrangements are now being made for
music at the meetings by the organization
Of a quartet This club believes that 1t
will hayemucb use for triumphal songsafter
election day in November and 1t is pro-
posed to make the association per-
manent institution.
Mrs. Logan spoke With her accustomed
force and earnestuess. She said that she
had accepted the presidency primarily
IN order that the institution might exert
its proper influence on voters outside
OF the District. Such an organization as
the present ought to be made permanent
for the educational influence it had on
| its members. 1t had been said that
women could not understand the issues OF
the campaign. but she knew of none 30
| stupid as not to understand that the cuun-
try Vas passing through a great fina ucial
crisis, and that the confidence OF the
word had been shaken by the free silver
craze in the honesty aud integrity of the
American nation.
The speaker then went on TO show that
the discontenb OF the people was largely
due to the want OF employment, and this
they could not get until the much abused
corporations had confidence enough in
the government TO renew and extend their
operations. The independence of one
milton from another in the Commercial
world she characterized as a delusion
and then made strong presentation of
the money question from the sound money
point OF view Nothing could restore the
favorable conditions, the speaker con-
tended, hut the election OF Mckinley and
Hobart She compared the army of the
free silverites to the Coxey Army under
new leadership.
THAT same army" she said, 'is irving
to attain power and peace, and to in
auEurate The principles advocated by Coxey
and his shiftless followers. many OF whom
We're participants in the rioting and mob
ruie that had destroyed So much property
and even life in different parts of the
union. Demonstrate your powers of intui-
tion by studying the situation and discover
ing the calamity and misery that would
follow the placing in po wer the free silver
advocates, and the prosperity and happi-
ness that must inevitably succeed the cleo
ton or Mckinley and Hobart.
we are not far enough removed from
the horrors OF civil war not to feel
alarmed at the signs OF the times, and the
audacity of the anarchists. Populist middle
