New York World: The leading
characteristics of the Presidents mes
sage are, its unhesitating advocacy of
Capitalization and paternalism in
government and unconscious assump-
ton that the republican party is
the republic. In these respects the
message is in close conformity with
the attitude and tendency of the
party which made Mr.. Harrison

that place. This resulted in the resigna.
tion of the gentlemen above named rs Off

election Of the following officers: ]. J.Hag-
crman, president; Charles h. Eddy, vice
presidcn; r. w. Tansill, treasurer, and l..

ganized.

lead to the reclamation of large areas Of
