1t Is Demonstrated at Leavenworth
Meeting Last Night.

Leavenworth, Kan. June 16.-The
second monthly dinner of the Leaven-
worth Ad club was all that the most
sanguine friend of the institution could
expect. From the organization of the
club it was an easy matter to foresee
its successful growth. Although less
than a month has passed since its for
nation the members are filled with
a new zeal and enthusiasm. The Times
says of the n1eeting:
A more enthusiastic gathering was
never assembled in the city. The spirit
of good fellowship among Leaven-
worthS merchants was never more
pronounced. AS Mr.. Frank P. Mac
Lehman. the clubs guest from Topeka,
said: 1.-THE merchants may gather, sit
at the table and place their feet upon
those of the fellow opposite and find
that he has not cloven hoof; they
NAV get their heads together and find
that the other fellow has no horns.
No horns on Leavenworth's Ad club
members is a fact and pronounced
one and all are getting in the club to
boost things along OF the eighty at
the tables all became enthused by the
excellent addresses and the cup gained
in membership with every talk until,
at the conclusion of the evening
meeting everyone present was an en-
tf1usiast for both the Ad CLUB. and
Leavenworth first, last and all the
time.
The entertainment committee had
provided an excellent repast for the
inner man and the program commit
tee for the thinking man, and all got
their fill of both. The talks were
to the point. and every remark was lis
tened to attentively. SO thorough was
the evenings enjoyment that, at II

he was mentioned time and again as
Governor MacLennan, and 1t sounded
good In opening his talk on THE ad-
vertising spirit the speaker said:

"Never exaggerate and always be able
to produce the goods. 1t seems from
the black scareheads that have appear
ed in the local papers relative to me
as a candidate for governor that you
have strayed from the path of the real
advertising spirit. There is plan on
foot to run Mr.. Charles Curtis as SEN
ator. Mr. Anthony will be a candidate

1.-THE advertising spirit as We must
