FIRST RUMBLISGs.
t)o Saturday evening the Executive
eammiftee Of this so-calied Independ-
snt Club, without authority from the
sub met at the old BIjou Theaier, and,
IA csniunctiOn with committee from
Ia LIQUOR Dealers Protective Associa-
ion and committee of another club,
he name Of which we have been unable
b learn. proceeded TO nominate ticket.
bu. no to this time that ticket has not
been made known TO the public.
Apublic meeting of the Young Mems
Independent Club WAS called for last
aighi at the Courthouse, but fearing
irus independence would assert itself,
this statement was published in the
H0ald, the paper ON which the above
nsniisned j. q. Il. Hebbard is en-
gigsd
sThe Executive Committee of the
Yeung Mems Independent Club of this
city have decided that the meeting of
The elnb in the Courthouse tonight at 4
o'clock shall be purely executive bust
ness session, TO whick only those VINO
have signed the rolls will be entitled to
admission. Members of the club are
requested to attend and take part in the
DELIBERATIONS. The organization will be
further perfected. and the work of the
campaign discussed and arranged"
Truly, very fine notice to emenate
from an Executive Committee that had
clandestinely, and without authority,
formed a secret alliance with other
committees and arranged q ticket to be
sprung upon the meeting. The Execa-
tive Committee, in circulating the petit
tons, took good care to receive only
The names OF those whom they thought
they could use.
However, there was another element
"a that club, an element of fairness and
Independence, and ii was this element
that had drawn around it "A large fol-
lowing OF young men who desired 10
JOIN some organization where fairness
and honesty should rule. Among this
number might be mentioned W. ID.
Wood. Il. III. Carr, X. Is. Albertson,
Frank w. Clayton, w. III. Whittlesey,
George IL. Preston. George 4. Sharpe,
Josiah Collins. NC. Hanscom, and host
Of others, and 1t was this element that
the Executive Committee sought to ex-
elude.
That all legal and proper members of
the club might have access to the
hall during the deliberations, Mr.. w,
u. Wood, member thereof, went to the
proper officials and rented the Court
house. paid the money. and took re-
oeipt therefor. That there shoald be no
iocking out. one of the doors was taken
from It's hinges.
