Geo. B. Winship, one of the fore
most leaders of the movement, was an
arrival in the city last night, but he
did not attend the meeting this morn
ing.
Mr.. Spalding was not inclined to
discuss the meeting when seen at
noon today. He STATED that later rep
resentatiVes Of the press would be
invited to attend but not until the
matter had been taken up at the
meeting.
What is the title of the organdza-
tion? MIR. spalding was asked.
THAT is one Of the matters that will
be taken up this afternoon" was the
reply.
When the meeting Was called to or
er at 2 O'Clock this afternoon it was
stated that Representatives from every
county in the state east of he Mis-
souri, were in attendance. The total
attendance was forty-five.
The question OF admitting represen-
tatives of the press was first taken
up and by unanimous consent an in
vitation was extended to newspaper
reporters to be present. The prevail
ing idea seemed to be that star cham
Der sessions were the very things that
The movement had to fear.
Hon. B. F.. Spalding was the first
speaker this afternoon. He told briefly
| OF the work of the executive commit
tee of the reform movement and stat
ed that but little progress had been
made because of the harvest opera
tions.
Senator Maynard Crane of Coopers-
town spoke briefly of the efforts OF
the inswgent legislators at the last
session OF the legislature His re-
! marks were interspersed with frequent
outbreaks of enthusiasm.
| A committee ON resolutions is In
session at a late hour this afternoon
and a REPORT is expected before the
adjournment of the afternoon session.
The name that has been suggested
this afternoon for the new movement
and one that appears to meet with the
general favor Is the Republican Good
Government League. !
