A new ORGANIZATION
Democrats Take Steps Looking
to the Formation of a Per.
manent Body.
OLD CLUB ADJoUREs SINE DIE
Preamble Adopted and Tempo.
rarY Officers Chosen
Last Night.

The Bryan and Stevenson Anti-Im-
perialistic club became thing of the
past last night. and in its place was
formed the nucleus of a permanent
organization to be known as the Rock
Island Democratic club. This was
accomplished at meeting at Turner
hall.
Before the old club adjourned sine
die the report of committee on per-
manent organization was read and
adopted. 1t contained the folio wing
preamble:
at is the belief of your committee
that the interests of democracy de-
mand that those who believe in the
principles advocated by the demo-
cratic party should perfect some sort
of an organization in the city of Rock
Island, and eventually including the
county of Rock Island. which shall
have as It's objects the perpetuation
of democratic principles and the sys-
tematic management of all cam
paigns. We believe that by
systematic organization much can be
accomplished in creating an acquaint-
ance and friendly feeling among the
members of the party; in furthering
the interests of democracy; in
strengthening the democratic party;
and in ultimately securing demo-
cratic success. We believe the demo-
cratic party has become the minority
party in this locality more because of
lack of organized effort than because
the majority of the people are OPP
posed to democratic principles. We
therefore strongly urge upon this
meeting and upon all democrats the
necessity of perfecting an organiza-
ton of sufficient and necessary detail to
make the democratic party dominant
factor in future elections. We further
recommend that this organization be
of so broad a character as to include
all electors who believe in democracy
as opposed to republicanism.''
8. h. Kenworthy President.
The committee recommended tenn
porary organization to hold till Jan.
z. when a permanent one should be
effected. Following this out these
temporary officers were elected:
Presidents. R Kenworthy.
Vice President-Paul Kersch.
Secretary-H. D. Corken.
Treasurer-Carl Naab.
After some discussion over the
choice of a name, that of the Rock
Island Democratic club was adopted as
a temporary cognomen to be recon-
mended to the permanent organiza-
ton.
The committees already appointed
on permanent organization and quart
ers were continued, with instructions
to report Jan. Z, and the appointment
of ward committees was lett with the
chair. All the paraPhernalia of the
old club. which had been rendered by
vote. was accepted and an adjourn
ment was taken for two weeks, or
until the evening of Dec. 8.

many years and still has large inter
ests here. The library board has
purchased lot on the southeast cor
ner Of Nineteenth street and Fourth
avenue. A 2-mill tax has been levied
for the purpose of raising the neces-
sary funds, but under the law the
board could not begin building opera
tions until the tax had accumulated
sufficient amount to warrant the
neutrality-suspicious. it would have
been several years before the building
would have been erected had not Mr..
Weyerhauser come forward with his
generous offer, one that will be ap-
preciated by all citizens.
President G. L. Walker. after an
interview with MIR. Weyerhauser,
who was in the city during
the day, called a special meeting
of the library board at o'clock
yesterday afternoon and made
known Mr.. Weyerhauser's offer
which was accepted, and an appropri-
ate acknowledgment, drafted by Wal
ter johnson, adopted.
The loan will bear per cent inter-
est. The $4,000 donation is for the

The mem bers of the Rock Island IL
brary board in accepting a rendered
loan of $50, 900 at per cent interest
from Frederick Weyerhauser for the
purpose of expediting the building of
public library in this city, and a
gift of $4,000 for the purchase of
metallic book racks and articles CT
furniture and ornaments for the build
ing, take pleasure in acknowledging
the high value of the aid thus gener-
ously offered. which will enable the
board to complete the building before
under the ordinary course it could
have been started. and to furnish it
with becoming elegance. 1t is an
aid which sweeps away the long per-
iod of delay the directors were pre-
pared to encounter, and enables them
to proceed at once 10 the discharge of
this important trust, and complete
the building within the first year of
the new twentieth century. Such aid
is doubly valuable at this time in that
it gives tangible assurance that the
efforts of the library board to provide
more adequate facilities for the dis
semination of wholesome reading
among the people are appreciated by
one whose large and widely varied in
terests in our midst proclaim him an
active friend of Rock Island as well as
public-spirited citizen of the great
republic"
