The Wurra Wurra Club.

! Henry Ives, chairman, had sent~word to Seneca Strong, sexton of the club house that he might not be able to get around to the meeting, as he was busy canvassing his district for bull moosers ;; but that Seneca might go ahead and run the meeting to suit himself. Seneca ! called the meeting to order and said they would have to elect chairman pro tenn, as he had a date up in the Sodom dis trict, where he was expected to address a meeting on the subject of the tariff. Clint Roraback nominated Charles Lin dell for chairman. "Mr. Lipdell has re- gently been honored with the town chair mahship of a political committed" said Clint, "and will doubtless appreciate this opportunity to practice chairing over a deliberative body" MT. Lindell who was unanimously elected, took the chair and the gavel, hit the desk a whack, and said the meeting would now get down to business. He said there would be no Opening Ode, as he didn't like the tune of 1t, and they would dispense with the reading of the minutes.
 Mr. Badgley moved that at the next meeting of the Canaan Business Mems Association the example of the Salisbury business men, in organizing the success full Labor carnival, be brought up as an example of what united and determined effort can do.
 "Does the gentleman mean to insinuate that the people of Salisbury are more progressive than we of Canaan2" asked George Roger, indignantly.
 "Not necessarily" replied Badgley. "Probably we might do as we'll, if we were to set about, butt
 The chair called the gentlemen to order and put the motion. It was carried.
 Ned Roberts moved that the Club pro- ceed to elect a delegate to the meeting of the board of registrars, on the 10th, when a hundred women will present them selves for registration. Ed. Warner rose and said It would be impossible for him to attend as delegate, as his political duties were already becoming too burden some. "I am going into training at once" said he, '" to fortify myself for duty as the alternate of the regularly elected delegate to the bull moose state con- vention. shall have to decline this woman's rights convention" alt doesn't seem to occur to the gentle man that he may be little ahead of him self in declining something that isn't. headed his way" said Roberts. "It was my intention to nominate for the position MT. A. H. Herriman."
 The motion was passed and Herriman was appointed the delegate. He rose to inquire what the duties of-delegate to the registration office would be, and the chair l informed him that he would be expected to instruct the ladies how to approach the registrars.
 Judge Ford got up, cleared his throat and started to make a speech. "I would like to inquire" said he, "whether I am to be supported by the Club members i'm case consent to run for another term as justice of the peacei The 'quadruple candidate,' who has been proclaiming himself as aspirant for my office and a half-dozen others, Is plainly in the field, though with indifferent prospects and scant success thus far. He has been conspicuously in evidence at about all the caucuses that have been held, up to date, and all he has got out of them, so far, is one delegateship to a congressional convention. That doesn't look as if he like to suggest that this Club take a straw vote to ascertain"
 "In view of the fact that the 'quadruple candidate' is not a member of this Club" Mayor Rowe broke in, cit seems to me unnecessary to take a straw ballot to find out his strength with the members. Naturally the Club will support Judge Ford, who has been faithful and consci- entious in the-performance of his duty, and brought considerable cash money to the town treasury in fines imposed upon lawbreakers."
 "Speaking about that" said Donnie O'Neil, ''isn't this the proper season for another series of prosecutions?
 "Confne ourseIf to the question:" commanded the chair.
 "What is the question:" asked Mayor Rowe.
 "I don't know" said the chair. "Tm not delegate"
 Sheriff Rhoades moved to table the matter, whatever 1t was, and it was so voted. The meeting then adjourned.
