Secretary williams called the atten-
ton Of the league TO the fac. that we
have a city election approaching and
that something should be done looking
toward placing the right kind Of men
in office. Men who stand for law and
order. He thought some one ghculd
get out at the caucuses OF both par.
ties and work to this end. Robert
Turner handed some straight facts to
the members present. He did not like
the poor showing at the meeting, but
thought there should have been three
to four hundred men present in earn
est about this thing. He thought that
the seeming Indifference was deplor
able and that the people should wake
up. He thought the thing to do wal
for the league itself to select men fol-
the positions, irrespective OF politica
party, which really counted for naugh
in a municipal campaign. With sucf
men nominated, the speaker though
that the movement would arouse sup
port and accomplish the ends desired
