Bradford, and the suggestion came to him
frona the so-caiied Wanderers Club, estab-
lished at Lansing, Mich. for Odd Fellows
temporarily residing IN that city. the cap
ital OF Michigan. Grand Master Bradford
conceived the idea that IL this plan was a
good thing for a state capital 1t must ne
cessarily be a far better thing for the ma
tional capital, and he Issued a circular in
club and invited similar organization
here. The club, as proposed here, will fol-
low closely the Lansing lines. The grand
master said on this subject:
The Lansing club is great success. IT
Is composed of members of the order from
other jurisdictions. The dues are only suf-
hcfent to pay the actual running expenses
of the club 1t holds regular meetings
gives entertainments. holds receptions has
an organized degree staff. and In response
to an invitation from any subordinate lodge
confers degrees, and in many ways the
members of the club make themselves use
fui brothers without severing their mem
bershfp with their original jurisdictions.
l recommend that an effort be made to or
ganiZe club here on substantially these
lines, and am satisfied that such an effort
might he crowned with great success as
we certainly have the largest field to work
in for this class of members that can be
found in any city of the country
