ORGANIZED DEMOCRACY
The West Side Democrats
for the First Time Get
in Line for A Battle.
Several Goldbugs Came Back Repen-
tant Big Bryan and Sewall
Club Organized

-
Mayor W. C. Hardin started out
to organize a Bryan and Sewall club
in the city, and how well he succeed
ed will be learned further on.
1t was designed to organize the
club on Friday night, but owing to
the fact that the ratification meet
ing was to be held on Saturday
night, it was thought best to meet
early and get ready to march in
line with the East Side Democracy,
who first took steps in the direction
of ratifying the nomination of our
national ticket.
The Opera House was given over
to the organization and when the
reporter arrived there were a score
of democrats gathered there, and
Mayor Hardin was passing among
them taking down names for club
members.
Previous to the above, the meet
ing was called to order by Lee
Estes, who had been chosen tempo,
rary chairman, and Bob Burke, as
secretary.
The call of names progressed un-
til the total enrolment numbered
226 and then the club proceeded to
elect permanent officers. Some
one moved that the temporary or
ganization be made permanent and
it was carried and the club called on
Lee Estes for a speech. He said
He was originally a goldbug, a
prodigal son as it were, and while he
did not say, the prospects were invit-
ing for him to get fill of political
husks to feed upon, his looks
showed that he thought it, and he
was very glad that his brother
Democrats fell over each other to
honor him with the leadership on
his arrival home.
The Secretary, Bob Burke, was
called to give an account of himself,
He too, said he was a prodigal-a
goldbug, but he saw the company
he had to keep, and he did not get
out of the back yard of Democracy,
before he came back and embraced
the boys he had trained with SO
long.
Mayor Hardin was given a call,
as was also Horace Vaughn, j. W.
Stuart, James M. Talbot, Hon.
Frank Ball, Sam Solinsky, r. A.
Munson, Charles E. Beard, Stanley
Edwards, Joe Barkman and dozen
of others, and all made short talks.
Sam Solinsky made one of his char
acteristic speeches. He said point
ing to the stage, that the last time
he appeared before an audience at
the Opera house, was in the char
acter of a negro (mlnstreD, and
that he was here now to say that
he would fill the character of ne
gro again on election day, in as
much as he would vote early and
often. Sam was vociferously
cheered.
After the speeches. it was the
sense of the meeting to name the
club the Texas Bryan and Sewall
club.
Hon. ]. M. Talbot, r. D. Hart, H,
W. Vaughan, G. A. Hooks and Dr.
G. G, Burke were appointed acom-
mittee TO draw up rules and bylaws
for the government of the club,
The meeting was then adjourned
to meet again on Friday night, at
which time business will be trans
acted looking toward the parade to
be had on Saturday night.
The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes
cannot help feeling great gratiiica-
ton at the thought that his chill
dren have inherited from him no
weakness nor tendency to disease.
The healthy old man is the man
who has throughout his life kept
his digestion good and his blood
pure, Not one in thousand does
do it. Germs 90 through the
healthy body without effect, Let
them once find lodgment or let
them find a weak spot, they will de-
velop by the million and the blood
will be full of them, Instead OF
giving strength to the tissues, it
will force upon them innutritlous
matter, and the man will lose flesh
and the more susceptible he is to
disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medl-
cal Discovery Is the only medicine
that absolutely and infalllbly cures
all blood diseases and almost all
diseases are blood diseases 1t isn't
a medicine for some one particular
so. called disease. 1t is medicine
for the whole body. 1t forces out
all the germs of disease, and re-
places impurities with rich, red
blood.
