Hon. Leo Harris who was the rep
resentative of this county in the
halls of the legislature spoke at some
length to the club giving "A general
review of the work that wa. done In
the way Of the enactment OF laws
for the government of the state. The
remarks made by Mr.. Harris were
somewhat in the same line as the in
terview published exclusively in the
Ardmoreite on the day following his
return home after his labors in the
| Legislature Mr.. Harris Impressed the
fact on his hearers that Ardmorc
would have to get busy and organize
and make a fight if this city wanted
to land one of the public institu-

schools Of the state. The speech
was well received and Mr.. Harris
gave a good account of his steward
ship.
Oscar Payne, a member OF the
Young Mems Democratic Club, an or
ganization of young men, was present
and made one OF the best speeches
Of the evening on what constitutes
la good state representative. The
young man during the course Of his
speech showed that he had given the
subject Of government considerable
thought and that he did a great
deal OF ",ading. He reviewed the
history Of the party in a manner
that surprised many of the old dem.
ocrats present at the meeting and
closed his speech amidst applause.
Several OF the speakers on the
program were absent, which fact
caused Judge Russell to have the pro-
gram committee hereafter to exact
a promise from those who were hon
ored with an invitation to speak here
after to be sure and fulfill the en-
gagament

made a rafting good democratic
speech and paid high compliment
10 Charlie Garter, and the other lead
crs Of the party I'm the state who
carried the flag Of democracy to
victory. The speech made by Mr..
Hammond was n the nature OF bic
experiences as democrat ano the
trials that he has gone through by
reason of being a democrat.
