A Hundred Mounted Men to be
Drilled.
The Democrats Organize a Bryan and
Lind Club, With Lively Contest
for President.

The Roosevelt Rough Riders had
their first drill Friday at the Re-
publican headquarters Capt. B. G.
Taylor is very proud of his organiza-
ton and believes that it will number
fully a hundred mounted men. He
will appoint lieutenants, sergeants and
corporals for it and have regular
military organization. The way that
volunteers are coming forward is very
encouraging, and everyone is taking
an interest. The Rough Riders
met at the hall again Monday night
at 8 O'Clock for foot drill, and We'd
nesday at p. m. for mounted drill.
The Democrats organized Bryan
and Lind club Friday in the base
ment of Athletic hall. The attend
ance was small and there was frosty
feeling in consequence. The only
warmth that developed was when the
election of president was taken up.
The names up were John G.. Wise Jr.
and Aid. Chas, T. Taylor. The first
ballot was a tie, and Mr.. Wise won
on the second. The third ward alder
man was then made vice president.
Judge Porter acted as temporary chair
man and August Marschner as tenn
porary secretary. The following per-
manent officers were chosen:
President G. Wise Jr.
Vice presidents-Chas. T. Taylor.

pointed to solicit members.
The president and.svice president

J. G. Fowler returned Friday
from st. Paul, where he attended a
meeting of the presidents and secre-
taries of Republican clubs. The re-
ports from different parts of the state
were very favorable, and indicated
the certain election of Van SAINT and
the entire Republican ticket. Mr.
Fowler heard Senator Beveridge
speak for short time and is enthusi-
astic over him.
