The Toffey Guards May Be Transformed
Into Republican County Bosses.
The Tofey Guard will hold an import
ant meeting on Friday evening in
their club house OF Willow Court.
For some time past the question of
transferring the club into county
Republican organization has been dis
cussed and the question has been met
with favor not only among the clubs
membership, but with many leading Re-
publieans throughout the county
The difficulty in forming Republican
county organization has been the inabil-
ity to secure the funds necessary TO pro-
cure suitable club house or headquar-
Jers and to furnish the same.
The Toffey Guards having these facili
ties, all that will be required viii be the
perfecting of an organization and mem
bership sufficient to sustain it. These
can be readily obtained, and the pros-
poets are very promising.
The present organization will be pre-
served, as a uniformed auxiliary, in case
the movement is a success, of which there
is at present but little doubt.
