Civil Service Reform Club.

On Monday evening next at 7 o'clock the annual meeting of the Harvard Civil Service Reform Club will be held in Upper Mass. The business before the club is the election of officers and the discussion of campaign work. The club wishes to co-operate with the other political clubs in the campaign against Bryan. The Chicago platform contains a plank aimed directly against civil service reform, and the election of Bryan would be as disastrous to an honest administration of public office as to the honesty of our national currency. All civil service reformers must realize that the present campaign is a crisis in the movement, and that if all that has thus far been gained is not to be lost, Bryan must be defeated.

The Harvard club did active work last year. Two public meetings were held under its auspices; a series of smoketalks was conducted, and a delegate was sent to the meeting of the National League at Washington. It is proposed to carry on the same programme the present year, and also to adopt a plan of campaign work. The meeting is open to all members of the University, and it is hoped that Harvard men will turn out in large numbers to show as hearty a support of the present honest system of civil service as of the gold standard and honest money.
