THE STEVENSONS.
Arrangements Made for a Per-
manent Organization.
ANOTHER VERY LARGE MEETING.

The Rooms of the New Club Crowded with
Enthusiastic Young Democrats Again
Last Night-Committee Appointed to
Present Plans of Permanent Organiza-
tion-A Resolution In Regard to the In
dependent Democratic Candidate for
Congress-To Turn Out Friday Evening.
The originators and promoters Of the
Young Mems Stevenson club no doubt
had little idea that the organization
which is becoming noted all over this
section as one of the strongest political
organizations in western Illinois, would
grow to the proportions that it has.
When the organizing of such club was
first talked of many were found who
were averse 10 joining an organization
and particular aversion was m Manifested
toward any thing in the way of a march
ing club. At the first meeting of the
club. when about 40 had signed the roll,
it was thought that surprising good start
had been made and not many additions
were figured upon. New members be-
gan to flock in, however, and as there
was such harmony aud enthusiasm
among all the members. it served to in
terest others, with the result that about
100 have been added to the original 40,
all of whom are voters and have volun-
tarily become Members. Not alone has
the club become known locally. but it's
fame has spread to neighboring cities
and has been an incentive to other SINH
lar organ zaticn being formed.
The influence that 1t is exerting
on every hand, and will rebound to the
benefit Of democracy's principles in the
coming election. The regular weekly
meeting of the club occurred at its rooms
last evening, larger attendance be-
ing present. which is indicative that its
popularity is still on the gain, Consid>
cradle work of Importance to the club
was accomplished. In the absence Of
President Huesing, Vice-President Bland
ing flied the chair, and tie reports from
different committees made q gratifying
showing. A resolution was passed TO
tie fleet that inesmuch as there was al
ready a regular democratic ticket in the
field before Mr.. Vinton came out as an
independent democrat, THAI it be the
sense of the meeting thai every member
OF the organization co all in his power to
further the election of the regular ticket.
AS the club seems to be SO popular it
was thought by everyone present that it
would be good plan 70 organize perma>
nently and accordingly committee COM
posed of ]. F. Dindinger. II. L. Wbeelsn
A. D. Huesing. John. McDarrah and
William Hoeft was appointed to report
a plan at the next meeting.
1t was also determined that the club
should turn out on Friday night and to
extend an invitation to all the clubs of
the surrounding towns to be presenton that
occasion should the committees in charge
of meeting SO desire. A ,mmittee com
posed of A. D. Hues;ng. L. G. Banding
and 81. L. Whselan was also appoi ated
to look after the arrangements for that
evening. This committee is to report on
Wednesday night. to which time the club
adjourned when it will be drilled by
Captain Leary any his aids ct Turner hall.
The rooms of the club which are open all
the time are well stocked with campaign
literature and .r1 used great deal by
the club.
