Although one OF the largest crowds in at
tendance since the organization OF the club
was present last night, the session OF the
Washington Ward Democratic Club held in
inc Courthouse. was unusually calm. Aside
rom routine business nothing was accom-
p'sneu' and adjournment was voted after
twenty minutes session.
Foremost among long list OF new mem
pers proposed and taken into the club last
nlsht was NJ A. Campbell. candidate for
IN" Legislature from the allied cities. His
opponent D. l.. Toney has been member
OF the club since Its foundation.
IN Anticipation OF hearing speeches from
: Messrs. Toney and Campbell. and perhaps
other OF the ten candidates for the General
Assembly. n representative crowd assembled
iast night. and considerable disappointment
was feIt when Mr.. Toney made the an
houncement that he had nothing to say in
me me absence OF his opponent. Mr.. Campbell
PRESIDENT Carter c. Jones said last night
ma, ,ha' an eh9rt would be made 10 have all
next meeting OF the club. and that each
marks.
Contrary to rumor there was 40 motion
proposed TO the effect that the club !ndorse
senator Martin in the United States scna-
tor!al race. The members OF the club feel
mat the organization should be absolutely
non -psrtisan and with this IN View defeated
motion at tho second meeting TO make II
permissible for the club to indorse any par
ticular candidate
Although the club adjourned sine do las,
night II is probable that a special meetin ?
VIII be called some time in the near future
