at Henderson.
NUMEROUS STRONG SUPPORTERS
o. SECRETARY TAFT PRESENT.

Numerous strong supporters of
Secretary Taft for the presidency
gathered at Henderson Tuesday
where they were scheduled to
hold meeting at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon, the time and
place having been agreed upon
and published on March 5th, the
day of the initial meeting of
Taft men for the purpose of Or
ganizing the Second Congression-
al district in the interest of their
candidate.
The meeting was not called to
order by the chairman of the or
ganization, Paul NJ. Moore, at
the hour designated for the
reason that the District Execu-
tive Committee had last week
been called to meet at the same
time and place and the Taft men
desired to attend that meeting
and make showing of Taft
forces before that committee.
The Taft men returned to the
Hotel Kingdom at $3.50 O'Clock
and went into meeting behind
closed doors for the discussion of
plans and to hear reports from
various parts of the district.
Those present at the meeting
were very much in earnest and
the reports were reassurlng as to
prospects of carrying the district
for Secretary Taft.

UNUSUAL INCREASE IN ENROLL
MENr OF SCHOOLS.

Just at this time when, on account
of the temporary scarcity of work Al
the shipyard, nearly everybody is in
the dumps. and some of the more
|pessimistic individuals are declaring
that the citys population has been re-
duced by several thousand. 1t Is in
teresting to note that the enrolment
in Thea city public schools is larger
this year than ever before in the his
tory of the city. When the schools
opened Monday morning seats were
given to more than 2,4O0 children, the
number Icing 2OG in excess OF the
total enrolment on any previous
opening day.
This is a significant fact. II means
that the permanent population Of the
city has not been effected by the Gull
season; that the people who have
their families here and regard the
city as their home are not leaving
and are not allowing the conditions
TO unsettle their family arrangements.
Under ordinary conditions an In
crease in the enrolment CT the
schools is to be expected. The In
crease this year. however, Is fully as
great as could have been looked f2r
IL the town had just entered upon
new era OF prospcritv.
This evidence of confidence on the
part of the people auSurs well LOT

for alarm over the present situation

listened to. and unless the public Is
