Mr.. Underwood introduced DR.. r, NJ.
Cunningham the first speaker. He
gave a brief resume of the purposes
and policies of the democratic part =.
While he was speaking MIR. Underwood
entered the hall and was received with
the Widest enthusiasm. 1t was several
minutes before the crowd ceased
cheering. Mr.. Underwood was then in
trodueed to the gathering.
Takes Up Hobson's Record
In his accustomed cool, calm and dig
nified snanner Mr. Underwood dis
cussed the record of his opponent He
brought out the fact that out of the
six months Congress had been in ses-
sion Captain Hobson had been conspic-
uous by his absence. He pointed out
that he had only been present 16 days
duping that time and that Captain
Hobson on account of lecture engage
ments absented himself from the halls
of Congress when matters of grave i'm
portance to the nation had come up
for discussion.
He referred to Captain Hobson' {,
vote on the Brownsville affair when he
voted for the reinstatement of a negro
regiment which had shot up the town
and had terrorized that community. He
stated lldI MI. ffODSOn was the only
southern man to vote for the rein
statement of the negroes. He stated
that the suggestion had been made
that it was done for the purpose of
popularizing himself on the chautau-
qua platform.
Referring to the tariff bill he asked
if the audience was ready to remove him
because his opponent went outside of the
real issues and attacked him on matters
hat anttralu nt1tSida of ft bo ORC aat
questions that were confronting the
American nation today He drew a
deadly parallel between his record in
Congress and that of his opponent and
charged that Mr.. Hobson had CONNER
cialized his office by giving more at
tention to his platform lectures for which
he received a monetary compensation
than he did to the duties of the office
to which he had been elected, and for
which he was receiving a salary.
Declined to Vote
Mr.. Underwood charged that Mr.. Hob
son was present when the eight-hour law
in reference to government employees
came up and that he declined to vote
either for or against, although every
other congressman from Alabama voted
for the measure. Mr.. Underwood read
from the Congressional Record to sub
stantiate the statement he made.

MANY OLD FRIENDS
FROM PRINCETON

Among them were many old friends
from Princeton-Cleveland II. Dodge,
Robert Garrett. who were members Of
the board of trustees when Mr. Wilson
was at Princeton; Col. L. NJ. House,
Charles r. Crane of Chicago, Chairman
William F. McCombs of the democratic

Rear Admiral Robert f. Peary, u. s. N;
Governor-elect Fielder of New Jersey, the
New Jersey congressional delegation and
host of others, the majority of them,
except for the officials, being from points
outside of Washington.
Little Miss Mary Tumulty, 9-year-o
daughter of Secretary and Mrs. Tumulty,
was the only child in the reception line.
AS she passed both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
and the bride kissed her.
The informal dance in the east room
after the reception was not planned for,
but became one of the most delightful
parts of the affair. The marine band
moved into the east room, where the
tango and other dance steps were grace
fully danced by the young folks.
Refreshments were served in the state
dining room. The bridal party gathered
In the breakfast room afterward. The
bridesmaids wore gold bracelets, gifts
of the bride, while the ushers wore gold
stickpins given them by the groom.
The bride and groom eluded the curious
by going through the kitchen and the
executive offices before taking their au-
tomobile.
The bridal party were the guests during
the evening of the Misses Margaret and
Eleanor Wilson at the White House.
Not since the Inauguration has there
been such crowds around the White House
as gathered today. Traffic policemen
patrolled Pennsylvania avenue and scores
of police guarded all gatess The guests
were admitted by card. Miss Eleanor
Wilson, the youngest daughter of the
President. and the Misses Mary and Lucy
Smith Of New Orleans La, who are house
guests, who took walk in the early aft
ernoon, were asked for cards on their
return. A policeman unacquainted with
the faces of the White House family hesi-
tated a moment when the ladies explained
their identity, but finally admitted them
The crowds fringed every side of the
White House and listened TO the band un-
til long after sundown. The greatest jam
was at the east entrance, where most of
the guests entered. Here the crowd
caught a glimpse of the gowns of the
women guests and climbed high on the
steps of the treasury building to peer into
the east room.

MIR. Van Camp Makes a Call.

MIR. Van Camp Makes a Call.
Aleck Van Camp turned from the
clerks desk, rather relieved to find
that Hambleton had not yet made his
appearance. Aleck had an errand on
his mind, aud he reflected that Jim
was apt to be iTapetuous and reluc-
tant to await another mans conye-
nienee; at least, Jim wouldn't per-
ceive that another mans convenience
needed to be waited for: ana Aleck
had no mind to announce this eTTRpd
from the housetops. 1t was not a
business that pertained, directly, Ell
Their to the Sea Gull or to the coming
cruise.
He made an uncommonly careful
toilet, discarding two neckties before
the operation was finished When all
was done the cravat presented a
stuffed and warped appearance which
was not at all satisfying, even to
Alexis uncritical eye; but the tie was
the last OF his supply and was, per-
haps, slightly better than none at all.
Dinner at the club was usually a
dull affair, and to Mr.. Van Camp, on
this Monday night, it seemed more
stupid than ever The club had been
organized in the spirit of the English
clubs. with the ungritten bylaw of alb
solute and inviolable privacy for the
individual No Wild or woolly manners
ever entered those decorous precincts.

fellow greetings. no chance dinner
companionship ever dispelled the aw-
full penumbra OF privacy that sur
rounded even the humblest member.
