turned away disappointed.
BY 7:15, every seat in the NAM

Every Woodward car brought its
load and the people continued to
come afoot and by motor car.
Standing room was soon exhausted.
In the rear, young men perched
themselves upon bales of shavings,
along the sides nail kegs left by
the builders were brought out and
boards laid across. The crowd
stormed the big front entrance and
finally the doors had to be barred.
Then the eager people tried other
doors. Occasionally. one found a
way in, pleased at the opportunity
to stand.

hung on the steps, while the elders
took their seats.
