The Wurra Wurra Club.

| 1u the aDsenCe OI fTeSluenI freeman Dempsey the meeting was opened by the general superintendent of the Club, Ralph Farnum, who announced that 1t "became his painful duty" to command the members to come to attention. He directed MT. Lyles, chancellor of the ex- checquer, to read the minutes of the last meeting in the absence of pr. Camp, secretary, who was showing John Van Deusen some new wrinkle in whidge brist down at Ed. Norton's house. Mir. l Lyles said he didn't have the minutes of the last meeting but offered to recite something about the boy that stood burn ing on the deck. He was excused. The Opening Ode was sung on the instalment plan by Mayor Rowe, who was suffering with a spasm of hay fever and punctu- ated the song at every fourth beat with sneeze.
 The first business under the regular order was in the shape of a motion offer ed by Henry Whitford, that a bonfire and torchlight parade be organized by the Club in honor of the winner of the contest for representative, on the night of election day, and that the festivities wind up with a dance, or a solree, or a raffle or something. Selectman "Billie" Reel and Sam Camp seconded the motion in chorus and 1t was carried.
 Joe Parsons said he would like to be so kind as to have somebody tell him just when the railroad people intend to make those long talked of improvements in the curb and sidewalk conditions on the railroad property at the Main street crossing. Station Agent Finney jumped up and reminded the questioneT that the road had recently put new planking on the crossing, and asked what more could be expected. MT. Parsons remarked that judging by the progress of improve ments in that locality 1t would probably be unreasonable to expect anything more, for years to come, and he apologized for having asked the question.
 Clint Roraback proposed the name of Conductor Dan O'Hearn, for active mem bership. Mir. Lyles l.oved that the nomination be referred to the commStee on moral character Clint retorted that the candidate didn't need any certificate of character, as he was a bull moose, and on this assurance be was unanimously elected to membership.
 Ned Roberts got up and said he had understood Brother J. Henry Roraback had been eating dinner with President Taft and family and he moved that the chair appoint a committee to request Brother Rorapack to be present at the next meeting, as he would like to ask hims, just one question.
 "T will second the motion on condition that Brother Roberts state just what question he desires to ask Brother Rora- back" said Fred Collin.
 "I want to ask him what they had for dinner" was the reply.
 The chair declared the motion out of order.
 June Rhoades was recognized by the chair "I understand" said he, "that the democrats are undecided as to their can didate for representative, although a half dozen names have been mentioned. | observe, too, that aside from the list given in The News, correspondents of outside newspapers have said that the local editor Is talked of in connection with the representative nomination. Now Pve got 1t pretty straight that he sticks to his original declaration that un- less he gets positive assurance that he will be nominated for all of the four offices he has his eye on-representative, town clerk, justice of the peace, and first selectman-he will not touch any one of them with a ten-foot yardstick. He will have all or none. It's an exhibition of unheard-of greed for office, and inasmuch as he is not member of this Club and has never taken any active personal in- terest in its welfare, move you that we oppose him tooth and nail at the polls in the event of his getting the four nomina- tions he is hankering for"
 The motion was seconded by about dozen voices, and passed unanimously.
 [We have the assurance of number of members of the Wurra Wurra Club that they voted for the passage of the above motion, not through any personal feeling, but simply to be on the popular side.-Editor.l
 There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
