Reports Read.
After the election of officers, the
financial reports of the year were
read. The Commercial club but a few
years ago was Il decidedly weak or
ganiZation and when referred TO by Il

The club. unlike the commercial or
ganizations in many cities the size of
Richmond in this state. has steadfast-
ly refused to boost the city by buy
ing manufacturing enterprises to To-
cate here. The club at first was criti-
ciZed for this, but now the citizens of
Richmond are of the opinion that the
policy of the club has been wise.
Business interests of Richmond
through this policy has not been bled
to secure worthless and unsubstantial
manufacturing concerns. Give your
attention to the good, reliable manu-
featuring concerns already located in
Richmond" This has been the motto
of the Commercial club.
Richmond today has more factories
than any other city its size in Indiana
and Ohio and not one of them has
been subsidized"

Resolution Stsrts Fight.

The presentation of the resolution
Immediately precipitated a contest and
though twas evident from the start
t4lat the resolution would carry. the
Bryan men insisted on fighting every
inch of the way. After a long and at
times acrimonious debate, the Bryan
men forced a vote on two resolutions.
Though they were overwhelmingly de
feated on both resolutions. the Bryan
men made the members of the commit
tee go on record by insisting on a roll
call, not only on the original Johnson
resolutions.
