The Jeflerssnian Club

The size and character of the attendance at the preliminary meeting of the Jefcrsonian club Thursday evening was conclusive indication that the life of the club wlll bs long one and it's pathway freely marked with noble deeds and earnest work. The necessity for such an organization at the present crisis in county politics IS apparent to every thinking demo crat. The increase iu Republican ranks. the activity of Republican leaders, and the wanderin.s of some considerable number of Democ. ats from the straight road of Jeffersonian Democracy into byways, and pig paths that lead they know not where, arc all straws that show the current of affairs, and point to the necessity of firm, constant and united action. That the Jeffersonian club will be q strong factory in harmonizing our own ranks aud inaugurating q more hcalthful state of political affairs in Saint Francis County there can be no doubt. I hope that larger numbe will gather to sether and lend their aud and sympathy In perfectlng the permanent organlzation on the 18th inst.
