effected at the Seattle opera-house last
night in one of the most harmonious and
enthusiastic conventions ever held in the
city of Seattle. When DIR. E. w. Young,
temporary chairman, raped for order, the
big hall was completely filled with earnest
Republicans, arranged by wards.
When Frank G. Haddock had been unan-
;mously elected president of the club and
appeared upon the platform in response to
a generous popular call, he received
an ovation, the echoes of which could be
heard throughout the entire neighborhood.
His speech of response to the plaudits OF
his fellow-citizens was temperate, judicious
and eloquent and the manner in which he
handled last nights meeting was sufficient
evidence of the fact that the Young Mems
Republican Club of King county had
made a wise selection in the choice of him
as a leader.

had been read and approved Chairman
Young called for reports of committees.

body had been more advisory in its
nature than otherwise; that the plan
of organization had been more
nearly effected by the committee on

grown to something like 500 through the
efforts of the committee, and that it had
been deemed wise to admit any Republic
can in good standing into the clubs men,
bership.
