sioner r. E. Pratt appeared at the
club house on Thursday evening and
spoke on the Carlyon bill. AT the
close of his address and upon his in
vitation to the audience to ask ques-
lions, Representative Gordon Moores
availed himself of the opportunity to
ask questions bringing out points not
discussed in the address and also
made several statements which elected
heated replies. The logomachy was
listened to with great interest by the
audience, which was entirely compos-
