the Moline Elks, was in charge. The
program follows:

All addresses we're in the English
tongue. That of Rev. A. J. Pitman
pastor of the Second Methodist church

interest as he himself was candidate

The idea of having program in
charge of the Elks' lodge, in connec-

originated in Moline and Rock Island
Other lodges of Elks in various parts
of the country are taking up the idea
and programs of this nature will prob
ably soon become the rule all over the
country.
