For the Western District.
There is considerable talk among the
Democrats Of the western district about
forming political club in that section.
This is certainly not bad idea and would
be the means OF drawing the members of
| the party more closely together.
The interests OF all are the same, and in
meeting together occasionally and in the
friendly talks that would follow, nothing
| but good can come.
1t would be the means of uniting the
party more closely, and, instead OF being
Il struggling mass, it would be compact
body. Foresters Hall offers excellent ac-
| commodations and it is hoped the matter
will take some tangible form.
