The meeting of the Wilson club In the March building last evening waa better attended than that of a -week ago; there was more real interest in the coming campaign injected into the organization and before an adjournment was reached it came around to that old-time spirit of democracy.

There was plenty of speech-making, with the keynote being get together. The chorus was boom it for Wilson for in him only can the party Bee success. A. V.
