ALEXANDRIA. Va, October 10, 1912.
At meeting of the Wilson. Marshall
and Carlin Club held last night at it's
rooms, Prince and Fairfax streets, the
question of obtaining speakers to come
here before the close of the campaign
was up for discussion. The consensus of
opinion was that it would be impossible
to obtain the services of any speakers
from the state committee, owing to the
fact that the orators are needed in the
ninth and other districts more than in
this city. 1t was, however, decided to
have one rally, at least, between now and
election time, and for this purpose the
services of some outside speakers will
be obtained.
democratic vote on election day was an
other matter which was taken up and
discussed at length. Partial reports
were received from number of COM
mittees and other business disposed of.

day night. Judge ]. K. NJ. Norton, presi-
dent of the club, presided at the meeting

tary.
