A Young Mems Democratic Club OF
Chic county was organized last night
at the club room selected for organiza-
ton, in the Hub Building. The attend
ance far exceeded the most Sanguine
hopes of the organizers. The meeting
was called to order by R. s. Kincheloe.
Captain A. P. Garden was chosen pres
ident. In short address he impressed
upon all their responsibility in regard
to the club and party He then took
up the work of organization. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Vice pres
ident, Frank e. Foster, secretary,
Councilman Frank Caldwell; treasurer,
A. l.. Sawte1 On motion the president
was instructed to appoint three men,
bers to act as a finance committee with
the secretary and treasurer. A vote OF
thanks was extended unanimously to
the president for his gift and for past
services to the club. Just before the
meeting adjourned Colonel Bill' r.
win, Democratic nominee for sheriff,
entered the hall and was roundly cheer
ed. He addressed the meeting briefly.
The meeting then adjourned to assem-
BILE at the call of the president, owing
to the fact that the club has not as yet
secured permanent headquarters.
The club starts out with member
ship of about 125, which will be more
than doubled by the next meeting
night. One excellent feature is that al
most all are new recruits, the former
members holding aloof, 1t being their
desire to allow the younger element to
effect the organization. The old men,

Republican is quoted az saying that
when Congressman 3. 81 Dovener, one
OF dhe principal speakers Of the 0cca-
sion, arrived in the little historic town
there was no committee to meet him
and that he cat frstbremarked that he
had notion to return; home without

reported that when the meeting was
finally called to order after much delay
that only a handful of people. so to
speak, were present, and that the gath
ering lacked the showing of enthusi-
asm that was anticipated by those from
this county who attended.
This failure of the faithful to stir up
sufficient interest to draw large
crowd, 1t is also said, was not due to
any hitch in the arrangements as far as
announcements were concerned, as
large bills were posted up in all parts
of the town and vicinity and there was
series of advertisements in various
newspapers, calling attention to the
gathering.
