THEY WILL OVERHAUL
ELECTION OFFICERS
FIRST MOVE IN THE DEMO
CRATIC CAMPAIGN.
Meeting of the Executive Committee
in the New Headquarters in the
Columbia Building.

The executive committee Of the Demo-
cratic Committee of One Hundred met In
its new quarters in the Columbia build
Ing last evening. AS yet the rooms are
not prepossessing, but they will be bet
tered later, and to that end it has been
decided to let out little of the patronage.
There will be an assistant secretary ap-
pointed. whose business it will be to sit
in the rooms of the committee and extend
a glad hand and winsome smile to any
of the faithful who may wish to spend
the day in one of the chairs.
The distribution of this bit of patronage
was considered sufficiently momentOus
by the executive committee to warrant
the appointment of a special committee Of
three to see that the right man gets It..
So far the only man spoken of is that vet
eran place holder j. H. Zemansky, who
has just emerged from the Registrars Of

The committee on assistant secretary is
composed of Howard Park, George Nc
Gilivray and Barna Mckenna. The COM
mittee promises to furnish a suitable as
sistant secretary within a few days. and
one who will put in all his spare time in
the headquarters.
Most of the time OF the Commits committee was
had a few words to say on nearly every
thing brought up. He was responsible
for the idea that something ought to be
done to bring out a big vote on August
s. and he moved that committee of three

will be appointed later. the chair decid-
ing that it would take some time to pick
out the literary geniuses of the organiza-
ton.
M H. Herman of the committee on
registration stirred up a parliamentary
tangle that took the remaining part of
the session to unravel. 1t was whether or
not the registration committee could be
charged with the task of supervising the
roll Of Democrats who had been or would
be appointed to serve as election officers.
1t was finally decided that the matter
should be left to the registration COM
mittee, as was suggested in the first
place. The Registrar will be notified thai
the members of that committee will OFF,
cially represent the Democratic party in
the matter of election officers. The mem
bers of the committee are NJ. II. Herman,
]. II. Grady. Barna McKenna, P. II. Nc
Carthy and W. D. Farren. They will call
on the Registrar to-day.
Maxwell, for the finance committee, re-
ported progress and then went on to tell
what good work the committee had done.
1t seems it will not be necessary to assess
any of the followers of the Democra tic
prophet if the Committee of One Hun
dred will only come to the front That it
will has been promised by several who,
however, did not at the time speak for the
whole committee. This Mr.. Maxwell was
careful to explain, though at the same
time he threw out hope of financial i'm
munity that was refreshing and reaSsIr>
ing.
The committee on hall pointed with
pride to the uncarpeted rooms and an
nounced that the ianitor of the building
would keep them clean without extra ex-
pense. One man of discernment, Mr. Far
rem. observed that there were no accom-
modattons for the. press. and the hall
committee was ordered to add the re-
quired furnishing. Maxwell was the first
to get tired and he moved to adjourn. a
motion that met with favor, and the com
mitteemen departed.
There was short meeting of the regis
tration committee after the executive
committee had adjourned. the result of

man registers his removal from his pre-
viousy registered address by July s he
Will forfeit the privilege of voting, for
