RIVERSIDE CLUB
Scene of a Large Gathering Last
Night-Public Speaking Event

and Walnut streets. 1t was the first
/ time that the club had given an open
air speechmaking event, and a large
number of citizens, including a NUM-
Der of ladies responded to the irvl-
tations and listened with marked at
/, tention to the different speakers.
The first thing on the program was
few selections played by the Green
vile Concert Band. Then Mr.. w
A. Moffit, the organizer of the clu>-
made talk to the large crowd III
which he gave many OF his life's ex-
! periences. He told the people why
he had organized the club, ii purpos-
es and what it had accomplished. He
said that It was not to exemplify the
survival of the httest but to make the
fit help the unfit, in other words
those who had made their mark IN
the world, had reached the goal OF
their ambitions, should turn around
and lend hand to those who were
not making such a grand success of
life, and help them along the stony
and upward paths Of life. He advo-
Gated the candidacy of Governor
Vardaman, giving two reasons; first
that the only man who had helped
him when he was in distress was one
OF Vardaman's best friends in Green
vile, and second, because Vardaman
I,a1I J,a -
the repeal Of the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments. Dock was
given the closest attention by his
hearers. and while some may have df
fered with him III his politics, moth
was said that could have hurt their
feelings, and ali enjoyed the many
pathetic and humurous stories of his
life.
Mr. Van B. Boddie was the next
speaker and in his own convincing
way he argued for the candidacy of
Hon E. N. Thomas for the governor
ship Mr.. Boddie paid high tribute
to the ability, honesty and integrity
of Mr.. Thomas. He said that every
one had something detrimental to-
say about the other gubernatorial
candidates, but VIXEN the name of
Thomas was mentioned, all were com
PEELED to admit that he was a clean,
pure, honest and upright man, and
nothing could be said against him.
Mr.. Boddie told Of Mr. Thomas re-
cord as a legislator. the reforms \.
had started in penitentiary and Other
affairs of state. Mr.. Boddie plead
ed for the solid vote of the county
and said that every vote that was
cast for him was not aslost vote, and
that if every man would do his duty
i n. Thomas would receive not only-
a solid vote from Washington cour-
ty bit that he would be the next gov
ernor of the state. In concluding his
remarks Mr.. Boddie paid an eloquent
tribute to the ladies present. His
talk was very energetic one, he 1c-
ceived many rounds Of applause from
his hearers, and did a good work for
hic choice for governor.

work of the immediate establishment OF
such department, and that these offers
would probably be accepted

OF the late Bishop McCabe was passed.
The reports of the secretary and finan-
cial secretary for the past six months

latter reported many large gifts and
pledges.

completed Mckinley memorial. the Ohio
