Thelpians of the members of the A9l
p. a. society seem to be working orr
oiled grooves, and things political are
coming their way, at least just now. :,
The order claims the election of Ald.i
Franklin as secretary of the fire board,
and the selection OF Paul Quehl to fill
the vacancy in the council caused by
Franklir's resignation was partially if
not altogether due to their efforts. A
meeting of the West side council was
held last Friday evening at the halo
corner of South Wabasha and Isabel
streets. Among the more prominent
members in attendance at the session
were Fire Commissioner Paul Martin,
Q. L. Coleman. Nels j. Ness, Coates,
proprietor furniture store on South
Wabasha street. Building Contractor
Schneider. l.. Peters, hardware man on
Concord street, Mr.. Thomas and son,
Mr.. Adams and son, and Munsen,
draynian.
Fire Commissioner Martin made
speech in which he said from the out
look he thought Paul Quehl, who was a
member of the order. was all right for
the nomination for alderman in place of
Aid. Franklin. He also pointed with
pride to the successful work done in Sc
curing the election of Aid Franklin,
another member of the order. to the po-
Sition of secretary of the fire board.
The prediction of Paul Martin. that
they had Quehl all right, was fully veri-
fed by the action taken at meeting of
Republican voters held last Monday
night at Martins hall. The gathering
was called by George Dix, member OF
the Republican city committee, and
Paul Quehl was declared the nom
inee to ill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Aid. Franklin.
On Saturday evening, Jan. 6, meet
ing of one Of the councils was held IN
the hall at 63 East Fifth street. C. l..
Coleman presided and Christie acted as
secretary. The large number of MEM
bers in arrears for dues was brought up
by the action taken to elect a delegate
and two alternateS TO a convention Of
the order which is to be held in Minne-
apolis on Jan. "a. Some seventy-fiYe
members. it was stated, were behind in
their dues, and for this reason the coun-
ell would only be entitled to one dele

ton. otherwise the council would be

after ballot, declared duly elected.
The president said the real work of
the order was just about to begin, as
the time for the spring election was APP
preaching. He advised committee of
the most influential members be APP

the president said. had promised to
have some very spicy reading in the
next issue of their paper, and he cau-
toned the members against being

meeting thought the American Citizen

got up the recent expose of the order

give the manager of the American Citl-
zen leather medal, the pope on one
side and Archbishop Satolli or Ireland
