| w. E. Young. W. A, Beach and J. G.
Fowler were appointed committee on
permanent organization. This COM
mittee recommended that the temper
airy organization be made permanent,
and this was carried
w. A. Funk advocated the appoint
ment of committee on resolutions, as
after all the talk of corruption in high
places and the need of reform, the party
ought to go on record as taking stand
on the right side. He thought that
there was plenty of room for reform,
and that the party would find it a
source strength before the people to go
out on strong platform, demanding
financial reforms.
G. E Musser and W. E. Young took
the same view, and H L. Schmitt and
Harry Paddock opposed the plan, say
| ing that the character of the nominees
would be sufficient Recommendation.
A motion by G. E. Musser, amended
by A. A. Brooks, to appoint commit
tee of one from each ward was carried,
with some opposing votes, and the fol-
lowing was the committee: G. E. Mus.
ser, chairman, Alex Bashaw, A. A.
