Political club meetings. in the case
Of the downtown organizations, took
place every Sunday in my time. They
were enlivened BY the admission Of
new members, the reading Of reports
and making Of motions. speeches, and
always something In the way OF a
vaudeville stunt by either a member
Of the club or some outside talent.
These downtown meetings were valu-
able in bringing the leaders OF the
different wards together and afording
them an opportunity 10 exchange po-
litical news and to discuss the coming
spring or fall campaign. They were
always largely attended, and it was a
disgrace for any ward to be called
upon for information Of any sort and
not have a representative on hand. A
disgrace that I never knew to happen
but once. No matter what the weather
was the faithful" were on hand.
The president opened the meeting
and the utmost freedom Of discussion
was allowed in any debate which
might arise. Sometimes a recess was

smoked until the meeting was called
