by Two "Young" Republic
ans at Meeting of Club.
NEW PRESIDENT is CHOSEN
JOHN NJ. HAYES WILL HEAD DE-
CADENT ORGANIZATION.

Twenty three members OF the Young
Mems Republican club gathered about q
table in the club rooms IN the Atlas block
last evening and paid John NJ Hayes the
doubtful compliment of electing him pres
ident Of the organization. No other name
was presented and Mr.. Hayes was chosen
unanimously. Mr.. Hayes is the cashier
OF the Utah Copper company. which is
managed by ID. c. lacking. who was the
campaign manager in Utah of John HAYS
Hammond, an also-ran candidate for the
nomination for vice president at the Re
publican national convention The Utah
delegation, through Mr. Jackling's efforts.
was supposed 10 have been pledged to
the support OF Mr.. Hammond At the con-
Hentlon. however. the delegation went to
Sherman.
The only thing that approached real
sport at the meeting was delightful COM
Dat between Harry Joseph and Jake
Greenewald. Shaking his hair like a fiery
oriflamme before his persistent hairless RI
val, Joseph loudly commanded Jake" TO
cease talking. But the flaming crest of
Joseph was as red rag 10 a maddened
bull, and Jake" shouted:
Jake Wants Courtesy.
ALLOW man some courtesy. YOU auto
erat. Shall man, because he has been IL
legally elected vice president of this club.
because he was accidentally elected as
speaker OF the house. come in here and
Try to force the gag rule here like he did
In the house? There he is, trying to wills
per to the president and tell him what to
GO. The president is his superior in Of
flee, intellect and every other way. Talk
ABOUT the Mormon church Whisperingi
Joseph is the original whisperer."
'Jake's' oratOry was somewhat ram
bling. but was nevertheless forceful. and
II was with difficulty that the president
restored the two combatants TO order
The trouble arose while Jake was at
tempting t. read the articles of incor-
poration OF the club. While he was talk
ing Joseph shouted:
Il move we adjourn"
Jake frowned. but paid no attention
10 the interruption. Then Joseph shout
ed that there was a motion before THE
ho"se and whispered to the president to
put the motion and shut Jake" off
Though the acoustic properties of the au-
ricular nerves OF Mr.. Greenewald are said
not to be the best. he apparently heard
the whispering and exploded. Finally.
In diplomatic manner, President HAYES
stopped Greenewald by coEceding that he
was right in all his contentious and then
put Joseph's motion. which carried.
When the meeting was called to order
there were thirteen members at the meet
ing. Ten more drifted in later. Harry Jo-
seph called the meeting to order. and
within a few moments Mr.. Hayes was
elected as president. to- succeed Calvin
s. BuckNalter, whose resignation was
read at the meeting. on taking the pres
idents chair Mr.. Hayes thanked the
members for the honor and made a neat
little Inaugural address. in which. how
ever, there were some indications of in
surgcnt tendencies shown He was bra
zen enough to admit that the Republican
party in Utah was not quite what il
ought to be and declared that the Young
Mems Republican club could help TO mend
il.
Almost lese Majesty.
There are a number of good Republi-
cans. he said. who nave left the party.
and while / admire them for taking the
stand they believed their convictions war
ranted. | feel that they should be urged
TO return to the party and march with US
10 a victorious goal | must confess that
there has arisen in Gtah condition that
has in a measure Justified their action.
Utah Is no worse than other communities
dominated by religious sect, and while
everything here may not be smooth as
il should be. / feel that the Republicans
are doing all they can TO remedy what
evils exist. / do not think that the Nor
mon church as a religion is in politics. /
do not believe they are trying to run af-
fairs with as high hand as their enc
mics declare they are and believe they
are sincere in their efforts to eradicate all
ecclesiastical Interference in politics.
He closed with predicting Republican
success In county, state and nation.
