chosen. \ constitution, drawn up by
the committee chosen a week ago, was
submitted and adopted.
The annexation campaign is now

citizens and by high Government Off
cials. The work will be carried on
with will by the new life of the An
neXation Club.

formation of the club. Among these
were Judge A. S. Hartwell, Judge \.

Minister of the Inter King Postmaster

In calling the meeting to order
Judge Hartwell, who presided
throughout the evening, stated briefly
what had transpired at the meeting of
the officers of the old Annexation
Club, held a week ago. He called for
a report of the committee chosen to
draft a constitution and bylaws
Col. j. II. Fisher, the chairman of
this committee, stated that the com
mittee had prepared a draft OF the
constitution, embodying all the essen
tials of bylaws, which, to the commit
tee, seemed to be requisite to accomp-
lish the single purpose of the Club.
MIR. p. c. Jones remarked that the
constitution was fine one. but he did
not like that word annual" He hoped
it would not be necessary for the an
neXation club to hold many annual
meetings. Mr.. Thurston explained
that the reason the word annual was
placed there was because the commit
mittee proposed to stand by the cause
indefinitely.
The constitution as submitted by
the committee was unanimously
adopted.
Then followed some discussion re-
garding the signing of the constitu-
ton. 1t was agreed that new members
should be taken in at once and given
voice in the selection of officers.
Some of the old members objected to
signing the constitution again, stat
ing that they had always been mem
bers of the Annexation Club and are
today. 1t was finally agreed that old
members need not sign.
\ recess was taken to allow new
members to sign. Ffty-one names
were added, as follows Alfred w.
