THEY WANT RECOGNITION.
Eleventh Ward Republicans Opposed t

Eleventh Ward Republicans Opposed to
the Action of the Executive Committee.
At the regular meeting of the Eleventh
Ward Republican League Club, held last
night, the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, The members of this club, be-
lieving that in the complete and thorough
organization of Republican clubs through
out the State, in great measure, will de-
pend the success of the Republican party in
future elections, and also believing that the
object of the organizers of the State league
was to consolidate or unity action among
party workers, and that it would be to the
best interests of the party in this State to
organize as many members of the party as
possible into clubs and admit each club to
representation in the State league, hereby
express our thorough condemnation of the
action of the Executive Committee in ex-
cluding from the coming convention of the
State league of clubs at Scranton representa-
tives from newly formed clubs, believing the
committees object to have been inconsist-
ent with and contrary to that for which the
State league was organized.
I'VE therefore instruct delegates to use
their utmost efforts to obtain equal recog
milton and privileges for delegates from
newly organized clubs with those that any
other club in the league possesses"
