Chairman E. w. Wooley, of the Republi-
can County Committee, wa the hrsG
speaker. He said that he heartily approved
the scheme of organizing a county league,
and that the party would be benefited
thereby. :,
ssThe league" said Mr.. Wooley, .'could
act in conjunction with the County
Committee, and if necessary the work
Of campaigns could be divided be-
tween the two organizations. The league
should adopt the block to block sys-
tenn of canvassing districts. Every block OF
every district should have a captain whose
duty should be to visit every republican on
that block, and thus bring out a full vote on
election day"
John L. Landrine, who was at the head OF
the Hudson County Republican League, now
defunct. also endorsed the plan, and said he
/ thought Nh. Wooley's plan of acting with
the County Committee should be adopted.

~tagonistic to the County Committee. If the
t-wosorganizations ever conflict, one or the
other will have to go under"
PLACES WANTED o "THE WORKERS."
C. P. Pearson, in addressing the meeting,
denounced the Street and Water Board for
appointing sstrimmers' to city positions. He
said that the boards throughout the city
were exercising poor Judgment in making
appointments, and that if the league were
organized in time the workers might have
secured all the positions within the gift of the
boards. Addresses were also made by w. G..
Hutchings, John w. Kull, Charles D. Bar
ker, Henry C. Gruber, Michael johnson,
George B. Eaton, Milton E. Peer, Louis
Hennemeier, j.. d. Evans and w, c. Dunn.
Justice of the Peace Hennemeier presented
a resolution fixing the representation for
clubs of one delegate for every fifty mem
bers. The resolution was Withdrawn and
another authorizing the Chairman to APP
point a Ways and Means Committee, each
club to bave one representative, to draft a
constitution and bylaws and arrange for a
meeting within thirty days, was adopted.
The committee met after the meeting and
decided to allow each club to have five dele
gates, and allowing each club but one vote
on all matters. The committee also ar
ranged to meet at the Wanser Club on next
Friday evening, and then adjourned.
