Now that the republican state con-
ventlon has been held and every MEM
Der of the party in Marshall county is
feeling jubilant over the outcome, 1t is
proposed to ride the Mckinley and
Roosevelt Rough Rider Club ON the top
OF the wave Of enthusiasm engendered
by that convention.
President Mcfarland, OF the club.
has, after consultation with Chairman
+ Estabrook and others, decided to call
meeting of the club for next Tuesday
night, in the east court room, for the
purpose of perfecting an organization
on the lines agreed upon by the state
committee. While at Des Moines Mr..
Estabrook investigated the matter Of
uniforms y. ~ etc, and secured q PROPOSE
ton from firm to furnish 100 or more
suits Including rough rider hats. coats,
pantaloons and leggings, at $l.5O each.
Inc uniform is very neat, altho made of
denims instead of duck, and is trimmed
IN either red or yellow. They are some
thing that can be utilized after the
campaign is closed, and as the price is
Very low there will be q big demand
for them.
W Is generally agreed that the best
plan for MarshalItown and vicinity is 10
organize as adjuncts to the club a COM
pany of cavalry and one of infantry.
While companies and clubs will be
formed In many of the townships of the
county. and the whole number be or
ganized into a regiment, there are
many residents of the nearby town
ships who will prefer to join the Mar
shalltown club These will all want to
belong to the cavalry section, as they
nave horses at their disposal. The ap-
pointment of the regimental officers is
under the agreements prepared by the
state committee. delegated to the coun-
t. chairman.
