The officers of the club think that the fine list of speakers offered for the meeting should attract one of the largest crowds that ever gathered at the court house.
 General John W. A. Sanford, presi- dent of the club will preside and in- troduce the speakers. The speaking will begin at 7:30 o'clock and as the list of speakers is long. none of / the addresses will be extended. Secretary Hugh K. Watts of the club received Messrs. Pugh and O'Neal of the club 5 initiation to speak. Hon. w. H. Sam ford expressed his entire willingness to come to Montgomery to speak to the Montgomery club. Secretary Watts received Thursday from Con- gressman Hefiin a letter saying that it would give him great pleasure to pO pIcScHL. VIII AdteT ud- liver speeches in some of the doubt full States for the Democratic ticket.
 The Montgomery Bryan and Kern Glib has been quite fortunate in secur- ing speakers for It's meetings. It's or- ganization meeting was addressed by Congressman Henry D Clayton who in this campaign. bX reason of his po- sition as Chairman of the Denver Con- vention became a national figure. He was followed by Hon. John w. Tom linson. who has been in charge of the club organization work for the Ma tional Democratic Campaign Commit tee. The same meeting was addressed by Hon. K. B. Price of Troy and by Hon. S. H. Dent, nominee for Con Eress from the Second Alabama Dis trict.
 The members of the club are very much gratifed over the recent devel- opments in the national campaigH. They believe now that Bryan and Kern will be elected and that all tho breaks that have been made in the campaign have been made by the Re- publicans. There Is more enthusiasm among the members of the club than at any time since the campaign opened.
 The public generally Is invited to attend the speaking tonight

FAvoRING PROHIBITION.
Numerous Letters on File With the
District Commissioners.

Since the recent hearing held by the
Commissioners upon the three bills intro
duced in Congress affecting the local eN-
else laws, which have been referred to
them for Il report, more than a hundred
letters and other forms of communication
have been received by the Commissioners
from persons who were unable to express
their views upon tha subject at the hear
ing. Nearly every one of these communi-
cations is from some one favoring prohibit
ton. particularly the bill prohibiting the
sale of liquor at the new Union station
The Commissioners invited these letters at
the conclusion of the hearing by explain
ing that because of the lack of time they
cou'd not hear every one upon the subject
and their views on paper would be given
just much consideration.
1t was unofflcially announced today that
the Commissioners will not make their
report to Congress upon these bills for at
least two weeks. and in the meantime they
expect hundreds more letters upon the
subject
The Commissioners yesterday received
a communication from Finley c. Henrick-
son urging the favorable recommendation
of the prohibition bills introduced Mr.
Henrickson said that during the four
hours occupied with the recent hearing
much of the discussion took the form of
testimony showing the results of the Ii
cense system of Washington and must
have convinced the Commissioners of at
least two things:
First, that the license system has here,
i'm the nations capital, as elsewhere
proved an utter failure.
Second. that this prohibition bill in
troduced by Representative Sims is de-
signed to correct the very things which all
good citizens must deplore.
These are the admitted facts he con-
tinued; ''J16 saloon licenses held in Wash
ington: 200 government licenses issued
over and above the District licenses eX-
elusive Of drug stores, showing ...o most
fragrant violations of the excise laws of
this city.
Senator Tillman recently said in a pub
lie address that the records disclosed that
thirty-one government licenses We're is
sued to women. There are also 12S Whole
ord / have mentioned we have the COM
mercialization of vice in the nations
capital. Statistics, open to every one
have been presented to you showing the
great waste and great evil caused only
by persistent continuance in the citys
affairs of the decadent license system.
Mr.. Henrckson also referred to what he
termed a threat on the part of the oppo-
nents of prohibition to the effect that,
ton bill it will be impossible 10 enforce it
here.
L. Nj. Hare. District superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League. has. at the re-
quest of the Commissioners, furnished a
list of large cities now under legal pro-
hibition. The list of these cities, with
their respective population, is as follows:
Atlanta, Ga. 10000: Cambridge, Mass,
