The club viii hold meetings on

O'Clock, p m., and special meetings
I at any time upon the call Of the
chair. These meetings were each
held in the Office of Chas. O'Callaghan.
At the Tuesday meeting, Mr.. G.. H.
Alberls offered the use of his building
as place of meeting for the. club
free Of charge, which offer was ac-
cepted with the thanks of the club.
The club has lO2 members, and the
committee on membership since Tues
day has added quite number, and
they confidently expect to raise the
membership to 300 and intend to
make vigorous campaign ia the
interest Of Bryan and the state and
county ticket. The club will look
after the distribution of literature in
that vicinity and see that all sup
porters of Bryan register and vote.
So far as we have heard, this is the
best organized Bryan club in the
county, and there appears to be no
more doubt that Bonner's Ferry will
retain her position as the banner
Bryan precinct in the county.
The names of the officers and mem
bers of the committee are sufficient
guarantee that the precincts along the
Kootenai river will roll up a hand
some majority for the entire ticket.
