E. |. GREGORY is
MADE PRESIDENT
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION OF
THE TAFT CLUB is MADE
PERMANENT.
C.K. WADE ELECTED SECRETARY
comolete Victory Of the Evans Fac
ton is Subject Of Much
Comment.

Permanent organization of the TAN
Climb was affected at the session OF
the club late yesterday afternoon. r.
4. Gregory. of Mt. Pleasant, who was
elected temporary chairman by the
President, and C. K Wade, nominated
by Postmaster Jackson, was elected
secretary. The President was au-
rhorized to appoint committees on
resolutions, bylaws. etc, which VIII
report at the neY meeting Of the
club to be held on the first Monday
OF next month.
In accepting the chair, Mr.. Gregory
made a rousing speech, in which he
very highly eulogized Judge William
Fl. Taft as one Of the greatest men
the Republican party had ever
known. He predicted that Taft would
be nominated and elected the next
President of the United States. His
speech was repeatedly applauded.
The way In which the Evans fac
ton captured a meeting called by their
opponents has been the subject OF
much discussion in political circles.
The attendance was large one'
crowding every inch of space in the
office of Chairman Hopkins, OF the
County Committee. II was suggested
that an adjournment be taken to the
court house, but this was voted down.
Chairman Hopkins nominated D. &
Minor for chairman and Postmaster
Jackson at once nominated e. l. Greg
ory. The Republicans passed into the
hall and were counted as they re-
turned by Lon Hickman and Bruce
Amos, the telIers. All went smoothly
until Mr.. Hopkins challenged Chas;
Ferguson on the ground that the lat
ter had voted In the Democratic pri-
mary for y. s. Senator. No objection
was made to this challenge. and Fer
guson's vote was not counted. POST
master Jackson remarkfng, We don t
need him anyway"
When those present had voted II

were largely in the majority, but MI

There were actually present fifty

It has been apparent that the
Brownlow people were playing for
position on the front of the Taft
bandwagon, and the manner in which
Mr.. jackson captured the meeting for
the Evans followers has created much
comment and been the subject OF
much amusement. 1t is further evil
dent that there is no harmony be

will widen during the coming year.

THE STATEMENT NOT

the article printed few days ago by

The Sentinel has no reason TO
make any retractiOn OF any statement

when the verdict was announced. His
lawyers for the defense took 1t as a
victory and reassured the prisoner
the best they could by declaring that
they would soon see that he was lib

ORGANIZATION PERFECTED BY

921, 900 Stock In the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers Association Ov-
ersubscribed by $4,000.

This afternoon the newly elected
board OF directors of the Grand juno
ton Fruit Growers Association held
its first meeting at the Offices at the
association Offices. Organization was
perfected and the officers chosen for
the ensuing year.

At the annual meeting. It will be
remembered, 1t was announced that
there was In the treasury $21 900 OF
association stock unsold, and 1t was
stated that subscriptions for this
stock would be received and passed
upon at the first meeting of the new
ly elected board of directors.

been filed for stock totaling $780,
500, OF $1,000 in excess of the
amount OF stock that was available.
This afternoon when the board met,
orders for stock subscriptions reach
ing a total of nearly 100000 were on
file. Several hundred growers had
made request for additional stock.
This plainly shows In what great de-
mand Is the stock of the Grand juno
tion Fruit Growers Association. The
management has only to announce
that some stock is for sale and it is
gohbled up at once. The board spent
several hours this afternoon running
over the list of applicants for stock
and making the assignments. Nat
urally many of the growers will be
disappointed in not getting as much
of the additional stock issue as they
desired.
