ADDRESSES IN UNION TONIGHT

Hon John D. Long '57, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, and Hon. William McAdoo, ex-congressman and police commissioner of New York City, will speak in the Living Room of the Union, this evening at 7.30 o'clock. Mr. Long's subject will be "The Guarding of the State," and Mr. McAdoo will speak on "The Guarding of the City." These addresses have been arranged for by the Social Service Committee, and will be given under the joint auspices of this committee and the Union. Professor F. G. Peabody '69, a member of the Social Service Committee, will preside.

Mr. Long's political and professional career has been of national scope and importance. Graduated from Harvard College in 1857, he studied law in the Harvard Law School, and was admitted to the bar, but soon turned to political life. His public career began in the Massachusetts legislature in 1875, and from then on he has been prominent in political circles. From 1880 to 1882, he was Governor of Massachusetts, and at the expiration of his term of office was elected a member of Congress. At the time of the Spanish War, Mr. Long held the important portfolio in President McKinley's cabinet of Secretary of the Navy. His sagacious management of the navy during those years of war with Spain showed him to be one of the most capable statesmen of the day. At present, Mr. Long is president of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University, his term expiring in 1908, and a practising lawyer in Boston.

Mr. McAdoo's term of public service began in the New Jersey Assembly. From 1883 to 1891, he represented the seventh district of New Jersey in Congress, and from 1893 to 1897 held the position of assistant secretary of the Navy. The most prominent years of his political career began in 1904, when he was appointed Police Commissioner of New York City under Mayor McClellan. In this office, he worked against severe odds to bring order throughout the metropolis.

The address will be open only to members of the Union and membership tickets must be shown at the door.
