WATER!GLENN'SCRl
But Carnegie Hall Had None
for Temperance Orator.

Ex-Governor Robert b. Glenn. OF North
Carolina, predicted 20 a large gathering
in Carnegie Hall yesterday that New York
city would vote dry" within ten years.
The New York State Anti-Saloon League.
under whose auspices the big mass meeting
was held. had advertised Ex-Governor
Glenn as the Souths greatest orator. To
live up 10 his reputation the orator. before
he was through. had reduced his handker-
chief 10 a dishrag from mOpping his brow
and had torn his voice into shreds and
tatters.
In the middle OF ono peroration. but
without halting the stream Of language
which seemed TO be raking the skin out
OF his throat. he cried in d hasty aside
tc his companions on the platform;
Please get me a glass of Water,''
But even this temperance drink seemed
forbidden in that assemblage. for not a
man mace a move. and the former Gov
ernor was allowed 10 travel on az full
speed with a hot box. The continued
clearing of thoats in the audience. as II
listened, seemed 10 indicate that never
before had its component parts been
tempted so sorely 10 ruminate on the joys
Of a cold glass Of beer. And many a
mans Unconscious self prayed fervently
that the great metropolis would never be-
come 80 dry as the speakers thorax.
Mr.. Glenn was plainly not accustomed
10 let such long period elspse between
liquid applications. sIf the Governor OF
South Carolina had only been there, would
the orator have turned 20 him and with
tho bare threads Of his tortured voice
made that classic observation? This was
the question the audience put TO itself
and echo answered As follows:
Why does the whislSey ring. through the
legislature keep Its hands on the people 5
throat: Because. II the people were al
lowed 10 exercise their right 10 vote, With
m five years not city i'm the state except

and in ten years the great city OF New York
even would wipe out the liquor curse
