CLUB WILL Be
A LIVE WIRE
Amid Enthusiasm, Leading
Democrats of City Form Or
ganization to Promote Party
Spirit-Meet Again Monday

II the enthusiasm and harmony
which prevailed at the organization
of the City Democratic Club last night
means anything, that party will make
the most active ana aggressive cam
paign ever seen in Bisbee. The hall
in the Henniger building, in which the
meeting was held, did not begin to
hold those who were present, and
many stood outside the doors and
cheered the speakers.
For one thing, the club was organ
lied, and for another thing, it is go
ing to be a live one. All who were
present last night added their names
10 the roll and an active canvass of
the city will be made at once by
committee appointed for that purpose.
Immediately after the meeting had
been called 10 order by J. j. Bowen,
chairman of the Central, Committee,
the election Of officers for the newly
organized was gone into. This result
ed in the selection of Fred Suffer as
chairman, r. C. Stanford as secretary
and L. A. Brown as treasurer.
Speeches were Called for from sine
of the well known Democrats of the
city, all of whom responded with ap-
addresses was to the effect that all
personalities and all petty differences
should be thrown aside in the interest
of the principles of democracy, and
that all should get in and join hands
for the furtherance of the interests Of
We're Fred Suffer, Major Burton, Geo
Neale, S. A. Merritt, George Henning-
err, R. c. Stanford, E. G.. Stricken,
Andrews, and one or two others. All
of them seemed to voice the senti-
ment of those who weres present and
their remarks were received with
rousing applause.
Upon motiontof ]. ]. Bowen, a men,
berhip committee of ten was appoint
ed TO canvass the town for members
Of the club. The following were as
signed this task by the chairman:
Charles Lockland, Dave Hassler. c. C.
Tompson, F. J. Vaughn. Jim Eztson,
George Gage. Z. J. McCulIoch, S. A.
Merritt, DR.. Hagen, George Henninger.
This committee will begin work at
once and there is no doubt but thta
one of the largest, il not the largest,
Democratic Club in the territory will
be organized when this committee
has completed its work. It was under
stood when the motion carried that
there was to be no membership fee.
. Other committees were appointed
as follows: On bylaws. Goslin, Mer-
rift and Henderson; On finance, Bow
en-, Sowles and Stricken; literature
committee, Neale, Suffer, Thompson
and Porter.
The finance committee was instruct
ed to canvass the town for subscrip-
tons to meet the expenses incidental
to the maintenance of the club. A.
number who were present expressed a
desire to contribute at once, and a list
was started on the spot.
Owing to the fact that the hall used
last night was entirely inadequate to
hold the crowd present, it was decided
that at the next meeting larger room
would be decided upon. The meeting
adjourned tot meet next Monday night
at s-o'clock.
After the meeting last night those
who were present congratulated each
other On the way the club had ap-
Dealed to the Democrats of the city,
on the enthusiastic manner in which
til organization had begun its career,
and on the prospects or the party
standing together and working for the
Democratic nominees as they had
never done before. All who were at
the meeting predicted that the club
is going to be the liveliest organization
in the city.
