y. A CAMPAIGN CLUB To BE FORMED-wHAT MEssRs
"a BLISS AND CLAFLIS SAY,
" There is veritable Roosevelt A" boom" downtown
er and business men in all lines well professional
E. men, are taking an active hand in the movement
Within three days the tide in favor of Mr. Hewitt has
d. changed and is setting in tow ard Roosevelt in
IN remarkab way. To voice this sentiment and keep it
going the drygoods men, with the older for
sci and the younger for war, have determined
to form organization to promote the candidacy Of
Mr. Roosevelt call has therefore been issued for
4 meeting tomorrow at No. 90 Leonard ST. corner of
Churchstl, at p. m, for the purpose OF organizing
l. what is TO be called the Roosevelt DryGoods Cam
Il paigD Club Those whose signed TO the call
9 are John Clafn, Cornelius N. Bliss, Edward f.
Eames, John F. Pummer, Joseph II. Weller, William
L. Strong and II. w. I. Mali 1t expected that Mr..
Roosevelt will be present and address.the meeting
AS an moi cation OF the reasons and purposes lyng
. behind this movement, the views OF Cornelius n. bliss
and John Cafn are typical. Mir Bliss said "Ihe
young men in the dry goods trade shO ing
markable enthusiasm TOR Mr. Roosevelt and this has
developed within few lays They are working night
at the meeting Monday clear indication of the
enthusiasm among them will be shown"
Mr. Claim said al had at one time determined to
vote for Mr. Hea WITT mainly TO cast my vote where it
should DO the most good against the George move
ment 1t then seemed that it would be vote thrown
view OF man OF nv friends But change of senti-
ment has taken place among within few days.
|
against Mr.. HeSitt Both excellent men, but Mr.
Hewitt must necessarily act within the lines prescribed
| by those who have nominated him; he cannot we
believe effect the reforms which our municipal govern
ment imperayely demands; he cannot clean the |
Augean stables Mr. Roosevelt can do this his record
is known and the temper OF his mind he will be his
own master. This is the view ahich has been rapidly
growing among dry-goods men within DAYS. I |
name ten OF them, well-known men, who, like my
SELF hrd intended To vote MIR. Hewitt but who
are ; ~ heart and hand into this movement"
George Anderson, with II. b. Clafn & Co., who has
been canvassng the dry goods district for few days,
said have been surprised to see how rapidly this
Roosevelt boom has grown, and it is an actual boom
there is no other boom down here At least nine
enths of the dry goods trade going for Roosevelt
TINS know from actual canvass; and this comes
tho belief that the fight lies wholly between Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr. Hewitt and that in order effect
the reforms we need there must be upheaval OF the
Democratic regime from the foundation and that Mr..
Roosevelt is the man to head the movement"
The downtown Roosevelt Campaign Club, at No.
A. Broadway is swellne ~ numbers at rapid rate.
Many Democrats have loined it, A large stove dealer
OF the East Side Yesterday reported to the club that he
had got the pledges OF fifteen yOnnI men, lust casting
their first vote, to vote tor Mr.. Roosevelt This is
the club will be held tonOrow al $3.50 p. m
Members OF this club yesterday supervised the dis
troution OF their circulars at the Elevated Railroad
stations.
Exception taken by members OF the Produce
Exchange 10 an erroneous statement that petition
subscribers to vote or Theodore Roosevelt circu
lated on the Exchange during business hours The
petition circulated by Leonard lazetine after the
business OF the Exchange finished and \
numerodsly signed.
