Young Mems Republican Club-New
members EIected-E0rk of the Cam.
paign-Ringing Speeches.
The Young Mems Republican club held
very enthusiastic meeting at their club rooms
in the Insurance building last evening. De-
spite the hot weather good many members
were there. The subject of hiring clerk
to attend to the rooms during the campaign
was favorably discussed. An application for
the position from Fred d. Ingham, formerly
a letter carrier, was read. The matter was
intrusted to the advisory committee, with
power to act. New camp stools will be
bought and equipments for the campaign
furnished
Elections Of new members then came be-
fore the meeting. Eleven men who had pre-
viously sent in applications were elected and
twenty three new names were proposed for
membership. Those elected were: Ray
mond d. Van Name, Judson B. Underwood,
William Stevens, George r. Priest, Henry F.
Reyes, Charles W. Goodman, Walter S.
Thompson, Eugene A. Potter. Chauncey T.
Ryder, Harry R. Sperry, Andrew B. VIII
kiRson.
The registration of voters was next brought
before the club. Many speeches were made
ing idea seemed to be that every possible
voter shonld be found and registered, and
that each member of the club should use his
utmost exertion toward this end. The plan
of dividing the city into districts and giving
each member one of these to work in was
drought fayorably of. It was finally voted
to to submit the matter to a special joint
meeting of the executive and advisory COM
mittees to be called on next Thursday even-
ing.
Mr.. Swezy then presented the club with a
mounted fragment of rock taken from peak
of the Talcott mountains nenr Hartford, call
ed Harrison's rock. The peak was named
after the Republican candidates grandfather,
the hero of Tippecanoe. The fragment Ia
mounted upon pedestal and has suitable
inscription. President J. Rice Winehel1 re-
ceived the memento in the name of the club
and said that he trusted the Republican prin-
ciples would alwhys be as enduring as the
rock.
The State ticket lately nominated at Hart.
ford was then ratified amid great enthusiasm
and prolonged applause. Many ringing ad-
dresses were made. The president passed
over the ticket in complete and comprehen-
sive review, showing the services and excel
lences of each nominee, and paying glow
ing tribute TO the spotless and splendid
record and career of the two State leaders.
A lengthy discussion upon the question Of
forming campaign companies then arose. The
general feeling Of the members was voiced by
their former president, James q. Howarth,
when he said: "The battle should be fought
upon intellectual grounds. Red fire and
gaudy uniforms will not win it. It is true
that jealousy is created in Democratic
hearts when they are outshone in this, just as
everyone feels little jealous when someone
else looks q little better than he does. But we
are organized for labor-to help the party In
its work. think the main idea of those who
join a campaign company is to have fun, and
that's not what we want. We don't want to
march up and down the street burning red
FIRE and looking this way and that way to see
if some young lady has her eye on US. I feel
that the minute you organize company it's
going to take away some of our workers at
Just the time when we need them most"
