the members of the Columbus Repub-

the famous east room of the White
House to help Teddy while away a
few minutes of his fast receding Off

which visited the president, the glee
club from the Buckeye capital inter

minutes the Columbus singers made
the stately halls ring with campaign
melodies and popular songs, which
ELECTED strenuous applause from
Roosevelt. Then they all shook hands

know that it was the means of estab-
fishing this paper and Of whatever
service we are to the community it is
the direct result of the Commercial
Club, for had not Winchester possess
ed such an efficient organization we
would never have been willing to in
vest our money in this plant. We have
heard newspaper men from other cit
les say that no other town IN the
United States, the size Of Winchester,
would have justified the outlay of the
money and equipment as has been
placed in this plant. We could name
much other work of the Commercial
Club, but it is sufficient to say that it
always stands for the best needs of
Winchester and is always at work
earnestly advertising and promoting
the good of our city, The work of
the Commercial Club is done largely
by the directors and the committees
but to do this, it is necessary that
they have members. The annual dues
for the year 1909 are now due and
the treasurer will be after the mem
bers ia the next few days and we
trust that every old member viii pay
his dues promptly and that the Mem
bership Committee will be able to Sc
cure at least two hundred additional
members.
The unique entertainment which
was given by this club on "Win-
chester Day" at the jamestown Elk
position has been commented on In
nearly every prominent daily paper
in the United States and has given us
a reputation for push and vim equaled
by no city Of its size in the Union.
Not only was this affair written up
at the time, but on numerous occa-
sions since, we have seen extracts
in the large daily papers, citing Win
chester's push and get-up as an ex-
ample which should be followed and
emulated by other cities. Winchester
has always led and she expects to
continue at the head, but to do this it
is necessary that our citizens should
be members Of our Commercial Club.
If you are q member, the push and
optimistic spirit which prevades it is
so contagious that you soon become
infected and before you realize it You
are booster. There is no place for
a knocker in this club, and, if you do
not want to be considered one, You
had better join the club at once for it
is an organization in which all mem
bers are boosters and the only knock
ers are those who are not members.

The COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Membership Committee of the
Commercial Club will begin an active
CANVASS in the next few days for
members to this organization and they
hope by the first of April to have six
hundred active, paid-up members.
That they should receive this many
and more, goes without saying. We
know that there is no organization that
has done as much for the building up
of Winchester as the Commercial
Club. 1t is spoken of all over this
State as the model organization. Our
people may differ on religion and they
may divide on politics, but whenever
anything arises that effects the well
fare of Winchester, they are an unit
Politics never enters into the deliber-
atoms of this club, or into the max

which manage and conduct the work

has been Il means Of bringing about
friendly feeling and cooperative
spirit among the citizens of the town
and county that has never been
equaled in any other place of which
we have any knowledge or of which
we have heard. If this club did moth
ing more than to create this feeling
and kindly cooperative spirit among
our citizens, its worth would be in
calculable. But not only has it done
this, but it has been the p9eans Of
bringing many enterprises to 1 Ks city

FIGHT OVER
PATRONAGE
HAS BEGUN

"A The fight over the spoils of office
has already started among the Gary
democrats, the first trouble engendered
being that of the democratic physicians
over the office of health commission
er
A meeting was called yesterday aft
ernoon by DR.. Packard, to be held in tn
office of DR.. f. E. Evans for the purpose
of deciding upon who would be the
most capable mand and entitled to the
plum. DR.. Evans said this morning
that he knew but little of what took
place at the meeting. as his office was
merely used by them because 1t was
larger and centrally located.
The result of the meeting was that it
broke up in a dispute as to who was
entitled to the appointment, who had
done the most work for Tom and finally
who called this meeting anyway, and
just before they went home what right
did that person, whoever it was, have
to call the meeting.
It was finally agreed that this issue
would not stand a very good chance to
be decided among the democratic physi-
clans, so that they agreed to extend
their influence individually toward Sc
curing the appointment and make the
race a -for-all for all of them. It
has been generally noised about the
city today that Tom will appoint
whomever he sees fit regardless of how
certain doctors have diagnosed the case.

GARFIELD OFF
IN PATROL
Democratic Candidate for
Mayor Is Shamefully
Treated-Arrested on Old
Warrant-Police Claim it
Is all a Mistake.

W. c. Crolius. a citizen Of Gary. and
formerly a candidate for the mayoralty
in this city, was subjected to shameful
treatment last night by being bundled
into changing patrol wagon while
standing on Broadway and taken to the
police station on a warrant which had
been previously nolle pressed by the
court.
The automobile patrol wagon rushed
out of the station yesterday and down
TO the residence of Crolius as If there
had been a murder committed In the
home of the latter or a serious crime
which needed the Immediate attention
Of the police, had been perpetrated. Mrs.
Crolius and the family were half fran
tic as burly Titus shook the door and
demanded to know whether crolius was
at home or not.
Upon the discovery that he was not
there they went back to Broadway, and
finding him standing on the street talk
ing to large group of friends, they read
the warrant to him and then put him
in the wagon. He was carried uncere-
moniously to the station.
Upon arriving at the station Mr..
Crolius discovered that the warrant
which had been read to him had pre-
viously been nolle pressed. The war
rant charged him with assault and bat
terry on election day and had been
sworn out by Jake Labovich during
the heat OF the election. The police
claim that the whole matter was
mistake, that they did not know that
the warrant had been quashed. but even
then they have not explained why it
was necessary to make such great
commotion over the serving of a war
rant for assault and battery on a we'll
known citizen.
Most people who saw the incident
were Disguised with the affair. and even
Knots supporters have lodged a COM
plant with the mayor.
