In the Central school building tonight

the auspices of the federated ward clubs

any definite plan of campaign will be
mapped out at this meeting. but if we
understand it rightly it is more in the
nature of get-together meeting of men
representative of various walks of life
to frankly and fully discuss the politi
cal situation. The meeting might be
called Il political meeting inasmuch as
control of city government is the result
meeting unless some particular political
interest grabs it off. which is hardly
likely. Men interested in the ward clubs
have definite platform of projects
which they wish to see ultimately taken
up by the people of Everett, among
which may be enumerated a municipal
water system, day labor ON public
works, the employment so far as posi-
bic of American citizens and heads OF
families on public works. public parks
and Fairgrounds. Improvement in tax
