Rally of Union Club.
The final rally of the Union Club
will be held at the theater tonight
From the Southside and the First and
Fourth districts torchlight professions,
headed by brass bands, will march to
the theater to take part in the cele-
bration of the occasion. The Union
Club leaders have been gathering con-
fidence and enthusiasm with the pass
age of each day, and they predict that
the gathering tonight will surpass in
size anything of like character that
has been witnessed in Savannah for
years.
1t will be addressed by the leading
spirits of the Union Clubs campaign
and the policies for which the club
stands and its purposes and ambitions
will be explained. Probably the op-
portunity to throw hot shot into the
opposition camp will not be lost sight
of in the midst of other considerations.
