down WITH THE MACHINE
MoEwanites Report That the
War Against Woolley &
Co. Goes Merrily On.

There was a fair attendance at tn
meeting Of the Thomas McEwan Asso
citation at its headquarters In Newar
avenue, last night, but Chairman Christi
and the Standard Bearer were absent. TIL
chairman sent a telegram dated fror
Mahwah, N. j., stating that he was at tn
bedside of his mother, who was at tn
point of death.
H. j. Jennings presided. The executiv
and entertainment committees reporte,
progress, the latter promising a full re
port at the next meeting. The ways an,
means committee reported that it ha,
held a meeting the night before at tn
home of Chairman e. Al. Shut, AID trans
acted considerable business, but that i
was in such shape it was thought bes
to hold over the full; report unit the mex
meeting. Mr.. Shut said the committei
had decided upon a sound ~financial basis
for the maintenance of the club. 1t wa.
proposed to fix up the club rooms on thu
second floor and make them cosy ant
comfortable. The committee would NEE
twice a week, Mr.. Shut said, until the
rooms were put in order; meanwhile tht
members would have to put up with the
present quarters. He said the committed
intended to put the association where il
belongs, or a footing with the best po-
litical organizations in the county.
1t was announced that eighteen propo.
sitions for membership had been secured
during the week.
Under the head of good n welfare
Mr.. Coghill asked if anyone could give
him any information as to what the Nc
EVAN members-elect of the new County
Committee were doing. He said they had
Important work ahead of them.
Charles Cobb, one of the members re-
elected to the committee from the Ninth
ward, said he was not in a position to
tell what the McEwan members-elect
were doing. He could only say that at
the primaries his ward elected a ma
jority of McEwan men.
Mr.. Coghill said that if what he heard
in general from McEwan men was cor
rect the McEwan element had a pretty
faIr show. But there were contradictory
reports. Our members say, .'Oh, we're
all right" That's all very nice. I've
heard that before. Others say Woolley
will be reelected chairman of the COM
mittee- If SO. it's poor lookout for any
Republican party at all in this county.
Our members should go there and stick
firmly by the association.
e. A. Shut said he wished to brand
as a lie a statement of ID. w. Woollevs
published in the Evening Journal, to
the effect that the election for Chair
man of the County mmit must he
by open ballot. Mr.. Shut said that the
constitution states that the election Of
chairman NAV be bv omen ballot That
means some one ,n,1st first move fo,on
omen ballot and seconded and nassad ~.
