| structed, to vote for Major Everett War
rem as president of said league. Mr.. War
rem is one Of the most active and popular
| Republicans in this commonwealth, and
his election will be hailed with joy by his
many friends throughout the state.
Thomas P. CoSgrove moved the adop.
tion OF the following resolution, which
was unanimously carried:
John R. Jones, who was born in this
| +o,y,, an ha O7th dav nP Nav 1874 10 q
| candidate for the nomination of district
attorney Of Lackawanna county, and 1t
| gives us great pleasure to rally to his sup
port. There is no Republican that the
party could place upon their ticket who
| would create greater enthusiasm and poll
larger vote than he. His father,
the late Edward Jones, did more to
| develop the road industries of this section
of the county than any other man. He
was revered and honored by his workmen
and by all who knew him, and it gives us
great pleasure to have the privilege of as
slsting his able and esteemed son to secure
this nomination. John r. Jones has always
been true, loyal Republican, and an able
advocate or the principles of the Repubii-
can party. Mr.. Jones showed his ability
and qualifications to fill the Office of dis
trict attorney by his great defense in what
Is known as the "Nolli Case" who was
indicted for murder and tried last
October This case particularly gave
him widea reputation as an able
criminal lawyer. We demand that the
leaders of the Republican party and that
the Republicans throughout the county
should recognize our right to repr esenta-
tion upon the ticket by placing the name
of John r. Jones thereon. We can then
work with greater enthusiasm, and we
will guarantee the party that we will poll
the largest vote ever poled in this section
of the county If our wishes are regarded
in this respect; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this club be instructed
to do all in their power and to use all hon
orable means to secure him the nomina-
tion for district attorney.
The Columbian quartette, of HYDE
Park, sang some political songs which
were warmly applauded. Thursday
evening was fixed as the regular meet
ing night of the club.
