Tho West End women's Republican AssociN-
tion had n warm time at Its meeting yesterday
In the West Side Republican Clubs new house
at AT Boulevard. Mrs. Clarence Burns was
in the chair, and when she brought her gavcl
down and called for order everybody felt that
there was some serious business TO be settled.

which was offered by Mrs. James q. WentZ.
Tho substance Of this resolution was that tho
club should !ndorse no candidate unless each
member of the club should DO notified of the
meeting In writing at least ten days beforehand.
When Mrs. Wentz offered her resolution Mrs.
Burns said: This is n Republican club and l
do not SEQ how we can do otherwise than In
dorse the candidates named by the Republican
party. but this question is before You and after
proper discussion must be settled by your
votes"

the Republican party never names but one
ticket. As NO are not suffragists nor lobbyists
we cannot do otherwise than indorse the candi-
dates on that ticket; II we do otherwise We
stoop to clectioncering, and that is a thing that
has never been done in this club. Article III.
Of our constitution says: The object Of this as.
