President Young has sent out notices calling
special meeting Of the league, to be held in
New York on Monday. Six clubs made the re-
quest and Mr.. Young SAYS the object of the
meeting is for the distribution Of surplus
players among the weaker clubs. The meeting
is not met with approval by the Bostons and
several other strong clubs. The surplus stock
now held by the latter will probably be signed
to the clubs that need strengthening.

for Education of Voters

Ihere was not a very large attendance

!icah Club Of Sacramento Saturday even
ing at the Courthouse.
state Central Committeeman Stetfens
called the meeting to order.
secretary Rhoads was unavoldably abb
sent, so Jud C. Brusie was called upon to
keep the minutes.
chairman Steffens explained to the as
semblage that Senator Dray's appeal from
the decision Of the first meetlng-com-
peiilng members to agree to vote straight
republican tickets at the coming munich
pal election, when they had only been
called upon to
SUPPORT THE NOMINEES
And principles of the National Republi-
can party-had not been decided yet by
the State Central Committee. The COM
hlttee, 1t was true, had met since the APP
pea! was taken, but had so much other
business TO attend to that II could not
reach this matter.
Mr.. Steffens then suggested that, mas
huch as there were some persons pres
ehC VINO had not yet signed the club roll,
q recess be taken in order that they might
90 so.
The suggestion was received favorably,
and during the recess several added their
signatures to the list.
When the meeting was called to order
again I. II. Wallis moved that an adj
gournment be taken until the appeal had
been decided by the State Central Com
mittee.
MR.. CoLEMAN's SUGGESTION.
j. .. Coleman thought that before adj
Journlng committee should be appoint
ed TO outline plan of organization, and
select list Of names of persons who
would serve as the clubs officers. He
belleVed that all present had the interests
OF the party at heart, and the club would
he live one, therefore they should have
active officers. But it was well-known
1act that at open meetings many were
selected who would afterward decline to
serve. By selecting such committee as
ne suggested they would be sure of know
ing who would serve. The list that this
committee would submit, however, would
not prevent other nominations.
This suggestion was not approved, the
general desire being not to effect any or
ganlzation until after the appeal was de-
cided.
AN IMITATION ELECTION.
DR.. f. i. Tebbets reminded the meet
ing that an election was close at hand and
that many voters were not yet familiar
with the requirements of the new ballot
law. He thought it would be a good idea
Tor the club to inaugurate a sort Of imi-
tation election previous to the genuine
one, and teach the voters what they
should do in order TO cast legal ballots.
Frank DarouX said this would be un-
necessary, as the City Central Committee
had already made arrangements for rent
ing place on J street, and holding q
dummy election there on the 18th inst. fol
the purpose of educating the voters.
Ed +. Taylor called Tor a vote on Mr.
Wallis motion to adjourn until the APP
peal was heard from. He was opposed tC
taking any further steps toward perma-
nent organization until the matter was
settled.
The motion was submitted and was car
ried by large majority.
