[SEVENTH SESSION.]
The Congress convened in the Murat Theater, on the morning of October 3, 1912, and was called to order by President White, at 9:45 o’clock a. m.
President White—We are a little late in gathering this morning. The meetings last night were rather strenuous. There were meetings in two different places, and the one I attended had seventeen or eighteen hundred in the audience, so we know we have a large attendance. The idea of having sectional meetings is a good one, because it enables discussions at greater length upon special subjects that concern different people interested. Day before yesterday, we had three meetings going on at the same time. Then we have an illustration of what is needed in the way of civic reform and good government over at the State House, and none of us should miss this. It is going on all the time. It appeals to the eye, and we can see at a glance so much that is needed in this battle for reform.
