A suggestion of George Carter that
the organization be called league in
stead of a club was voted down.
The main contention about member
ship arose over the question of whether
heads of government departments
should be given membership. The gen.
eral sense of the club was that they
should not be allowed active participa-
ton in the clubs proceedings, but
could become associate members. This
did not apply to the clerical forces un-
der the chiefs. Mr.. Andrews stated
that the organization must be free from
machine politics; he wanted to see
good government and clean politics.
The club eventually adopted an i'm
portant clause in this connection, as
follows: mo man can be a candidate
for this club who is holding an appoint
i've position, controlling a number of
positions under him"

lowing Republicans signed the roll as

George r. Carter proposed that the

pointment of executive members from

the precinct residents present. Quite a

sented, and in some cases only one
precinct resident was present. The pre-
clncts were called off n order and the

cincts: Fourth District. First precinct.
