VISITS IN WILMET TE Mrs. Jack A. dePass of Port Le- mon, Costa Rico bas been spending a montb with ber daugbter's family, the junior Dr. Donald M., Gallies, 1119 Central avenue. She is leaving next Monday to visit ber son in On- tario, Canada. Cornes to Wilmiette Monday, October 1,- under Auspices of Constitution League W. L. Harding, former governor of Iowa and nationally known speaker on business, political and patriotic subjects, is to be guest speaker at the meeting of Wilmette League for Defense of Constitutional Govern- ment to be held at Stolp school auditorium Monday evening, October 1, at 8 o'clock. It was a fortunate circumstance that enabled the league to secure Governor Harding for this meeting. He is in constant demand for large meetings throughout the country, and bis itinerary brings him to Chicago Monday with an open date. Tbrough the efforts of the Rev. George P. MagilI, wbo communicated with him- by wime, he was induced to fi11 the Wilmette date. As one of the stars of the political platform in the present campaign, the league considers it- self fortunate in baving secured him for this meeting. CahIed Vigonma.Orate "Govemnor Harding is an ag- gressive, vigorous, fighting speaker .in defesne of the constitution and in opposition to the radical trends now s0 apparent in govemnment," it is pointed out. "He does not mince words or pull punches, but strikes straight 'fmom tbe shoulder in defense of those distinctively American prin- ciples under which this country bas become, in a short period, the greatest nation in the world. He knov-s al the twigts of politics and can there- fore read the signs of the times with unerring accuracy. One of the prom- mnent plat form orators of the country, he presents bis subject with power and1 logic, and neyer fails to impress bis audiences witb bis complete knowledge. of events and their por- tents." Open, to public Fýred M. Clarke, 931 Oakwoôdave- nue, president of the league, states that the meeting is open to aIl, without admission charge, and adds: "Every Anierican on the north shore wbo bhates despotism and loves liberty should be present to bear Govemnor Harding defend the constitution and individual rigbts and liberties. An- otber sucb opportunity is not likely to be presented during the entime year."4 The officers of this patriotic*organ- ization are appealing to nortb shore citizens wbo are deeply concemned for the future welfare of America to lend their support to its efforts to awaken aIl citizens to the dangers which seem now to imminently threaten their, liberties, The organ- ization is not, they assemt, making ayatt-empt to 'create a national league, the predominant thought bc-. ing to prepare for affiliation with some outstanding 'society that mây be developed as attsjcks upon con- stitutional goveronment b e c o mes sharper and the lines between radical- ism and constitutionalism more distinctly drawn. In. othier words, they gay, it is a training school for preparedness for the titanic. struggle now clearly discernible to preserve freedoni for this and future gener- ations.
