CENTER TOWNSHIP
WENT FAR ASTRAY
Republican Organization May Be Con-
tinued in Future.

The Center township republican club
will meet at their headquarters to-
night for a business meeting and to
discuss the results of the recent cleo
ton. 1t is possible that permanent
and active organization may be made
of the club, and instead of disbanding
they will probably continue their &C
tivities for the republican cause. The
recent election has shown that Center
township has gone far astray from the
republican fold, and an earnest effort
will be made to get the renegades
back into the marching line before
another election. Center township
might as well get off the political map
as to continue the work recently done
at the election, and although Center
has not been favored with a candidate
recently, it is high time. politically
speaking, that they get right if they
expect TO be so favored in the fu-
ture.
