IN response to the call of J. G. Mof-

least one hundred Republicans assem-
bled at 1histle's opera house last even
ing to take the necessary preliminary
steps for the organization of cam

meeting to order and briefly stated
its object, and upon motion of Post
master Keeier, Mayor Mckenzie was
made temporary chairman. Albert
Sherman moved that J. A. Frye be
chosen temporary secretary and the
motion prevailed. f.. M. Day moved
that o. II. Culver be elected assistant
secretary but Mr., Culver declined the
honor, remarking that he had known
Secretary Frye for a number of years
and that he was fully capable of dis
charging all the duties pertaining TO
his position without assistance. He
further said that i'm his opinion no per-
manent organization should be effected
until after the adoption of rules and
bylaws for the government Of the
club and suggested that a committee Of
seven, to include the chairman and
secretary, be appointed to prepare by
laws, etc, and submit the same at
some future meeting. Mr. Kinghorn
stated that if Mr.. Culver would make |
his suggestion a motion he would be |
glad TO second it, which was done. /
Mr.. Day thought that committee of I
live would be Just as effective and !
more convenient than one of seven. |
Mr. Griffin humOrously observed that /
lnaSmUch as committee Of seven 1
would afford better opportunity for a 4
big fOurn combination he would /
Iavor that number. That settled il /
and the committee was appointed as |
follows: Major Eli Wilkin, Captain Il.
II. Smith, T. w. Gillette, l.. n. /
iriiiin, Thomas Newman, j. A. Frye,

Judge Rice expressed the opinion
hat nothing could be gained by effect
ng permanent organization thus
'ariy In the season, there being moth
ng at present to excite special interest
,r arouse the enthusiasm necessary to
uccessful public meetings. He
avored adjOurning subject TO the call
# the committee just appointed
Mr.. Kinghorn suggested that the
committee bc empowered To take
whatever steps might be deemed adj
'lsable to obtain and circulate cam
'aign literature. The Democrats are
lready very active i'm This kind Of
york and are sending broadcast tons Of
heir iavorite faliacies. Mr.. Sly
hought that the opposition would
ave little to show for their labor at
he end Of the campaign, except
heir literature, which opinion
eemed TO meet the hearty approval Of
II present.
The matter Of funds was brought up
y Mr. Moliat and little Of his pre- q
1ous experience cited as an argument

{ the hall was stated and this Mr.
ickenzie expressed his readiness to !
ay and wait until after the perma-
ent organization of the club to have !
he amount refunded to him.

al power 10 take such steps as they
light deem necessary to perfect the !
rganizatiOn of the club and further
ne interests Of the party, and that the
leeting adjourn subject TO the call of :
