There was more interest In the

chief interest. OF course. centered in
the choice OF the mayor. and the . .-.s

MEETING OF GOOD GOVERNMENT
CLUB.

The fact that more than hundred
citizens. mostly farmers. in the middle
OF planting time. one OF the businest
seasons OF the year. left their work
yesterday to attend the meeting OF the
Democratic Good Government Club OF
Brazos county. Is an evidence that
large number of the people are deeply
In earnest in this movement. The Of.
fetal proceedings, furnished by the
secretary. are printed elsewhere In
this paper. but there were some fea'
lures OF the occasion worthy of spe-
ciai notice and comment.
The patience with which the crowd
awaited the arrival OF the president.
Maj. L. l.. Mclnnis. who. having been
detained by business. was forty min
utes late. indicated that conservatism.
not enthusiasm, was the dominant
spirit and the time OF waiting was
spent in social conversation. very
much like what is customary at re-
unions. while perfect good humor pre-.
vailed. when the meeting was called
TO order. however. conversation ceas'
ed and everybody was intent on the
proceedings.
The assemblage was not wholly
delegate convention nor a mass meet
ing. but a mixture OF the two. Such OF
the precincts as had organized local
clubs sent accredited representatives.
while all who had come from unorga-
nized communities were admitted to
participate in the proceedings.

ture, but while the committee on plan !,
