THE CLENADEUM HAD GOOD MEETING

THE CLENADEUM HAD GOOD MEETING

The meeting of the Clenadeum Friday evening was very well attended. It was announced to be an impromptu meeting, and there was no lack of material to make it an interesting one.

At 7:30 the roll was called, and all the members responded by Mother Goose rhymes, which was very amusing. Next Mr. McKracken was called on for a speech, and he choose for his subject, "The Mountain of Misery." It was certainly well handled, and much appreciated by the audience.

Mr. Fowler was then called on for an impromptu speech, and was given the broad subject, "Politics." He based his speech on the late election in New York, on the victory of Tammany. He said that the republican office holders in New York, were not re-elected because they failed to keep the promise which they made in order to achieve their respective offices. Mr. Fowler also spoke highly of William J. Bryan. He told of the unselfishness of this man, how he used nearly all he had for the good of the people.

The last number on the program was the debate, "Resolved that the time of the Clenadeum should be changed." The society had no intention of changing the time, but simply took part on either side. It was an impromptu debate, and as the affirmative side had the last points to argue on, nearly everyone tried to support it. The debate was finally cut short, just as the ?ative prepared to give a rebutal. A vote of the house was taken, resulting twenty-four votes for the affirmative and twelve for the negative. 

After a lengthy business meeting, in which the question of debating with outside schools came up, and was laid on the table, the society adjourned.
