chairman OF the city executive
committee. The attendance was
good, considering the cold wealth
er
Jno. w. Mcclure nominated R.
G. Latting for temporary chair
man. A. Melton moved that nomi-
nations be closed and Mr.. Lat
ting be elected by acclanation.
The motion was carried unani-
mously. Mr. Latting assumed
charge of the meeting and called
for nominations for temporary sec
retary w. F. Granlee and A.
Melton were nominated. On the
request Of the latter, his name was
withdrawn and Mr.. Granlee was
unanimously elected.
Chairman Latting spoke Of the
purpose of the meeting, explaining
the method of club organization
that was recommended by the ter
ritorial committee. Speaking of
democracy in Chickasha, he said;
"It is of vital Importance TO have a
democratic club to look we'll to
municipal affairs. I believe there
are enough good business men
among the democrats Of Chicka-
sha to carry on the city govern
ment from top to bottom. I have
no sympathy with the plea for citi-
zen's tickets and non-partisan
city elections. People are
recognizing that in order to have
the best government, they must fix
the responsibility for it upon one
party"
Mr. Latting expressed his thanks
for the honors conferred upon him
and especially for the manner Of
treatment which he had re-
ceived as district committeeman
He had been allied with a faction
Of the party opposite to that with
which the majority of the demo
Gratis of Chickasha had been con-
lpertefl r,,apd he WAS .all-ths-inArA-
~ liiG iaci that any differences had
arisen in the democracy and con
tinuing, said 1--WE must see 70
It that there are ne differences and
no factions in the party. We
must never again allow our feelings
to run adead Of our judgment, and
cause is to forget the great inter
ests Of the party for the sake of an
individual.
