LOUIS REvENGED.
He Has at Last Fulfilled His
Threat of Resigning
From Bergen
Club.
HAS LOST INTEREST
Local Politics Have Reached
Such a Point That He
Can't Stand Them.

Chairman Louis Stubenvoll. of the Ninth
Ward Republican Association, treasurer
of the Bergen Republican Club. carried
out his long standing threat to resign
from the Bergen Republican Club last
evening. at the usual weekly seance. The
resignation was read by Frank ]. Higgins,
who acted as temporary secretary in, the
absence of William Schaefer. The action
OF Louis was not productive of any
marked surprise to the club members.
Over since he was turned down by the
''bosses" last spring for a place on the
Executive Committee of the County Com
mittee, Louis has been down on the lead
ers. He and great many others are of
the opinion that the act was wholly UNI
warranted.
Even ring followers kicked when Stuben-
voll went down the toboggan with others
who had gained the disfavor of the
bosses. They said that Louis was too
square to be treated SO. and that his sue
cessor was not man whom, they wanted
on the Organization Committee In fact
the appointment of Edward t. Mitchell on
the Organization Committee, and his sub
sequent election to the Craftsmanship, has
caused a great deal more dissension than
the leaders affect to believe. There are
q dozen ring men in the Ninth ward who
have since swung over to the anti-ring
forces, to continue the ward fight for
clean politics.
Mr.. Stubenvolf in the course of a few
remarks said that matters had come to
such pass that he could no longer take
the interest in local politics that he did in
former years He wished to be excused
from acting as treasurer of the club any
longer and deeply regretted that circum-
stances had forced him to take such ac-
tion, but said that it was the only course
open TO him.
John Graham moved that the resignation
be laid on the table and the motion was
carried. The matter will doubtless be dis
posed of at the next meeting. two weeks
hence.
Mr. Stuhenyoll anticipates resigning also
from his position as chairman of the
Ward Association, which controls all the
ward politics. This he would have done
two weeks ago if the conditions had been
favorable, but as there were toe many of
the ring people at the meeting to oppose
him in his selection of his successor in
Office he deferred action until a more OPP
portune occasion.
The ring people have a man ready to
take Louis's place whenever he gets out.
The anti-ring people hope to prevent the
election of a ringster.
The session of the club last evening was
prosaic Stubenvolrs action was the
feature. A communication was received
from the State League of Republican
Clubs asking the club to send it's members
to the coming National Convention at St.
Paul. Mimi, and sending instructions how
TO get there. One thing they forgot and
that was to eniighten the members as to
who would pay the expenses of the trip.
A second communication was received
from the subcommittee of the County
League of Clubs relative to the approach
ing State Convention to be held on Sep
tember 10, in Greenville. The club was
requested to do its little best in helping
to make the circus success and to select
its delegates. The subcommittee wants
to know which Of the members will serve
on committees to arrange for the conven-
tion.
