building to cost approximately $780,

the building from lodge rentals and
from other sources. AS the Wood
men accumulate funds in the camp
treasury, the stock will be taken up
and eventually the building will be
opened by the camp.
1t is proposed to have the building
of Mission style, an architectural adj
dition to the North Third street Sec
ton. The lower floor, 50x140 fea.,
will be used as as assembly hall and
will be rented. The upper floor will
be devided into two lodge rooms,
banquet halls, reception rooms and
other necessary apartments for
lodge building.

the principal speaker at the closing
republican rally held at Point Rich
mond. In emphatic language Gllett
declared that Taft's injunction de-
cision was one Of the most generally
recognized decisions upon which union
labor goes into court at the present
time.
Ut was this decision" said Gillett,
that gave union labor the right to or
ganize If they SO desired and con-
ceded the privilege of boycotting. But
it prohibited them from unlawfully de-
stroyiAg property or unlawfully injur-
Ing mans business 1t is today
recognized as eminently fair by both
sides"
A greater part of Gillett's speech was
devoted to a discussion of the tariff.
He declared that the democrats had al
ways been hostile to protective tariff
and every time they were given a
chance to tinker with the tariff hard
times resulted.
In conclusion the speaker extolled
Taft and stated that the republican

Of course, practical enough to know

buttons from the trust magnates to be
kept secret until after election. The
republican party has been working
both sides Of the road.
While a part of the party has been
promising reforms to the reform ele-
ment Of the country. the other has been
assuring the stand patters that moth
ing would be done, and the republican
platform was drawn so ambiguously
that il could be used to support any
kind OF a secret process. Now that the

that an announcement from him would

only be brought TO its perfection by
pinching off the buds and leaving the
