NEW POLITICAL
ID PARTY N DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS. Dec. 2.--tspeclai. -
Douglas Is TO have ne political
orgaaization--perhaps.
What was originally supposed 10 be
q reunion OF Texas democrats residing
ia Arizona turns out TO be nothing OF
the sort but an organization or anoth-
er character. and Just what that char
acter rs 10 be is not yet disclosed.
The FIRST meeting was held some time
since and the second occurred at the
Office Of Attorney John McGowan in
the Brophy building Saturday night
The gathering OF the clans brought
together some thirty individuals. each
with some real or faneied wrongs TO
right, and the meeting was called to
order by b. Q Musgraye. who pro-
ceeded TO give his ideas on the need
OF organization and the purpose for
which they should organize Speeches
followed by Judge Mcdonald, Mr.. Nc
Gowan and Samuel Yarnell In which
the decline and fail OF the Roman en-
pire was freely quoted from, equal n
berries taken with the United States
census reports, republicanism, democ-
raey. capital, trusts and state. terri.
torial and municipal governments
criticised until IL was effeetually dem
onstrated that we had been sleeping
on our rights and maybe had over
slept ourselves and that the country
was going TO the bowwews with ten
times the rapidly OF Rome. Indeed.
the progress on the downward path OF
the old Romans was only such. com
pared 10 ours, as TO make Il look like
dray horse alongside of Dan Patch.
Once this terrible state OF affairs
had been effectually demonstrated and
the press condemned for not taking
seriously their first steps toward org.
anizIng a body which Is 10 be the sal
walton Of the nation, there was moth
Ing left 10 do but 20 form a pcrma'
nent organization. Nomination or OF.
ficers was IN order and the meeting
presented the temporary chairman
ship to Judge Mcdonald In glad nc.
claim Attorney McGowna was the
unanimous choice for temporary sec
rotary.
II was then proposed TO choose the
name of Douglas independent
League, but on recommendation OF
the chair this was LEFT TO the commit
tee on permanent organization. This
committee consists of five and was
obtained after considerable difficulty
for many men were too much engaged
in their own affairs TO 40 more to
ward saving the country than 20 at
tend the regular meetings Of the new
! organization. At length an organize
/ tion committee was obtained which
cnsists of the temporary chairman
and secretary. Yarnell. Musgraye and
big George" Strubaker. This com
mittee will select the name and tram,
up a constitution and bylaws feI
adoption at the next meeting on Sat
urday evening.
| II seems to be the iuteut to org
] anize, without regard to previous par
/ ty Affiliations, all those who are con
WINGED that the present state of GU
republic is all to the bad, and theI
Z proceed to reform matters so tha'
each and every individual will be sat
| isfied. The organization is to be the
air brake, don't say hot air brake)
which is to check the rapid toDoggan
of the nation in it's fierce dash toward
everlasting perdition.
Nothing was said about any choice
for any political oflceS for every
member is too disinterested to think
of anything so slight as that, the sole
purpose of the organization being an
impersonal effort for universal nation
al salvation.
