Thirty-ifth Assembly DistrictI
Republican Club.
Charles NGnCdring, ChGirmG11 Republican Com
nlittee-DEAR SIR: Having heard that it is the
intention OF the Republican committee to
form Republican club in the Thirty-ffth AS
sembly District we are desirous OF calling the
attention OF the committee TO the fact that we
now have and for several months have had a
Republican club in that district. We number
over 300 of the most representative men in the
district, and hope that you will in forming this
club disturb US as little as possible.
We would respectfully suggest that you
recognize US rs we now exist, tn showing to
the people of our district that it is your desire
to recognize the better element of our party
While loyal to true Republcanism, we can
not but feel that II not at least partially recOg
niZed, there will be many in the district who
will not take active part in the coming
campaign as they otherwise would.
At the time OF the organization of our club
we appointed q committee 10 wait upon the
County Committee And said committee did
wait upon you, and, owing to ruling that
none but members of the County Committee
could speak upon the floor, and being without
written communication, they were unable
TO obtain hearing; but at all times we have
been and now are willing and desirOus of
working under your direction and supervision.
Hoping the above will receive your favorable
consideration, we are yours for Republicanism,
V.F. NoRTHRoP, President.
ROBERT H. STAFFORD, Secretary.
]. NJ. Chretieu, vice-chairman, said it
was not the intention OF the organization
to conflict with any district club, and that,
furthermore, the committee had not in
view the organizing of any club in any dis
trict, and would not do so until definite
plan OF organization was agreed upon.
Upon motion of Mr.. Chretien the letter
was laid on the table to be discussed after
the primary law was decided.
If the decision of this law happens be-
fore the next regular monthly meeting of
the committee, then a special meeting will
be called by the chairman as soon as that
event transpires.
