We're among the most attractive and en-
joyablc in the social life of the city. The
second administration was headed by
Hampton s Smith, a well known business
man of the city, and the second year
was completed. AT the end of the second
year, while. there was little danger of a
collapse on the part of the organization
the idea got abroad that 1t was not
breaking even in a financial. way
At the beginning of the current year. the
members elected John L. Parker, presi-
dent, and put him at the head of a new
board of directors. This new board and
the new president found that the financial
condition Of the club was bad, and in

the members could not be Interested to a
sufficient degree to guarantee the con-

Should the stockholders of the organiza-

Combination Expected
A coalition between the Catholics and
some elements of the so-called liberals is
also counted upon, according to the lead
ers of the Catholic party. individuals
of the most radical wing of the liberals
have approached the Catholics with
proposition to put forward Senor Gamboa
and General Rascon as the candidates
also of that faction, thus giving the lib
erals an opportunity to support these
men without having the appearance of
voting the Catholic ticket
This is in line with Senor Gamboa' 5
stipulation, upon accepting the presiden-
tial candidacy that he would regard him
self as the candidate of the whole people,
not merely that of the Catholic party.
incidentally, it was the influence of Senior
Gamboa that was responsible for the re-
call from Europe of General Felix Diaz.
President Huerta was intent upon having
General Diaz continue on his mission to
Japan, and it was only when Senor Gam
boa indicated the desirability of having
presidential candidate that General Huer-
ia agreed to his recall.
The Catholic party leaders hope by Sc
curing the cooperation of some of the
liberals to break the influence of the lib
eral party in the Chamber of Deputies
and prevent the consummation of that
party's proposed effort to bring about a
postponement of the elections.

Although the University club is in very
bad financial circumstances it is believed
now thai 1t may be able to weather the
storm. Following the announcement that
John l.. Parker, president, and the board
of governors had rendered their resigna-
tons there have been some busy negotia-
tions. The fate of the club will be decided
perhaps tomorrow night when the life
members who paid $3.50 each will meet
and try to ascertain a way out of the
difficulties.
1t was rumored yesterday that the club
would be taken over by the Young Men

Task Not One Of Politics.
And yet It will be no cool process
of mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred, stirred by o solemn
passion, stirred by the knowledge OF
wrong, Of ideals lost, OF government
too often debauched and made an in
strument of evil. The feelings with
which we face this new age of right
and opportunity sweep across our
heartstrings like some air out OF
Gods owi. presence, where justice and
mercy are reconciled and the Judge
and the brother are one. We know
our task to be no mere task of politics.
but a task which shall search us
through and through, whether we be
able to understand our time and the
need Of our people, whether we be in
deed their spokesmen and interpre-
ters. whether we have the pure heart
to comprehend and the rectified will
to choose our high course Of action.

were represented in the body Of regu-

and marines from half dozen battle
ships rolled along smartly in the wake
of their landsmen brethren.

huge affair which stretched its
length for miles along the Washington
streets, formed on the avenues radiat-
ing from the capitol. After President
elect Wilson had become President
Wilson and ce-President-elect> Mar
shall had become Vice-President
Marshall, they went straightway from
the capitol to the White House and
thence shortly to the reviewing stand
in the park at the mansions front.
The parade, with Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, United States army, as its
grand marshal, started from the capt.
tol grounds to move along the avenue
to the White House, where 1t was to
pass in review. The trumpeter sound
ed forward march" at the instant the
signal was flashed from the White
house that In fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
in-chief of the armies and navies Of
the United States would be ready to
review "his troops"
1t was thought that the parade might
lack some of the picturesque features
which particularly appealed to the
people on former occasions. There
were Indians and rough riders here
not only when Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated, but when he went out Of ONCE
and was succeeded by William H.
Taft. The parade. however. in honor
OF Mr.. Wilson seemed to be pictur-
esque enough in its featuresto appeal
to the multitudes. They, certainly
made noise enough over It.
