Theie has been n feeling that somehow such demonstrations were not Inti mately enough related to modern political thought. With thnt point of lew Mr. McCnughn and his friends did not agree. They held stiibbornlj nnd devntrdlj to an old tradition. Others might follow nfter strnnge gods and get tnngled up in new philosophies, but in the Twenty fourth ward there were patri otic men who knew how to stnnil out to the last for the protection of sacred American institutions And so' the McCnughn Club spent n grent deal of money for eiiiilsitety tailored clothes of the tender hade of gray known to the intelligentsia as elephnnt's, brontb.
