Meeting Saturday Night to
Elect Officers and Re-
ceive Members.
Its Aim Is to Secure Enact
ment of Wise and Bene-
ficial Laws.

At meeting held at the real estate
office of II. w. Marean last Saturday
night, for the purpose of form
ing a non-poltical club, about fifteen
citizens attended. A constitution ano
bylaws were adopted, the preamble
and objects of which follow:
For as much as the mineral wealth
being disclosed within the boundaries
of this county has attracted the atten-
tion of the entire country and brought
INTO onr midst many of the most enter
prising miners and mining men, and for
as much as the United States govern
ment has established and is now oper-
ating a great irrigation project in
Churchill county, State of Nevada, un-
der our irrigation law, and whereas
citizens of the United States have taken
advantage OF the wise provision of that
act and have taken up permanent res
idence in said county, bringing with
them their money, their families and
their skill, hoping that thereby they
may convert barren desert waste into
q garden and make their new home a
mt and pleasant place to live, governed
by wise and well administered laws,
and whereas, it is deemed prudent that
all citizens of this county should take
an active part IN the exercise of their
political rights SO that we may obtain
TOR ourselves and our children the best
government that can be obtained,
wherefore to that end we do hereby de-
clare that this constitution shall act as
q limitation upon our actions"
OBJECTS.
The objects for which this association
is formed is TO promote the political
rights Of its members, to procure
the enactment of wise and ben
eficial laws and to cause to be elected
such officers TO public office as will en-
force the law fairly and impartially
without fear of favor, but the field OF
action shall be devoted exclusively ~
local affairs and no endeavor shall be
made to influence any member for OF
against any political faith nor any cam
didates supporting such faith IN Ma
tionsl politics. These objects may be
accomplished
First By faithfully attending all pri-
mary elections and endeavoring to get
others to attend.
Secondly endorsing candidates as
in the opinion of all members will be
best suited to the office regardless ol
political affiliations.
Third By endeavoring by all fair
means to procure the election of all
candidates endorsed.
Fourth By ditfusing among its mem.
bers and others accurate knowledge OF
the character and fitness for Office oi
all candidates in the field.
Fifth-By declaring that there are NJ
vested rights in political offices.
Messrs. Fulton H. Sears, h. p. OsgooC
and H. w. Marean were appointed i;
committee to furnish the newspapers
with copies setting forth the object:
and aims of the organization. The
STANDARD believes from a perusal ol
the same and the character of the mel
instrumental in perfectlng the organ
zation that it should be productive o
much good. The object seems to be t,
compel the two recognized politica
parties to put up good men for office
which aim can hardly find dlsfavor II
the eyes of any one, but on the contrar,
should receive the support OF every on
who has the interests of the communit,
at heart. Fallon and Churchill count.
are fast outgrowing their swaddlini
clothes, and have reached the pon
where wisdom demands that the ables
and best men should be put forward t
administer their affairs.
A meeting has been called for Satur
day evening, June 20, at the cour
house, at which applications for mem
bership will be received and officer
elected for the ensuing year. An invi
tation is extended to all to attend an
join the organization.
