Initial Move in This Activity Will be
the Purchase of Lots at the
Corner of Sixth and
Blondsau.
COMMITTEE
Meeting Held Last Evening and the
Question Thoroughly Discussed
BY Members of
Lodge.

The Elks are going to have club
home in Keokuk within very short
time. The initial step was taken last
evening at regular meeting of the
loGse when the committee appointed
to report on building sites and propo-
siions recommended the purchase OF
the lots at the corner of Sixth and
Blondeau streets and was authorized
TO buy them preparatory TO the cree
ton of new home that will cost the
organization from $4,000 TO IS 600.
The property is owned by VIM Sin
ton who made g very liberal offer
which the Eiks accepted The build
ing proposition was thoroughly dis
cussed and the unanimity and en-
thusiasm was indicative OF the earn
estness of the members TO own their
own lodge building A very attrac
tive proposition had been submitted
by ]. E. Baker but the membership
thought it best to make the PROPOSE
ton free from any com n,-cial fea-
lures so the Sinton property was
deemed the most desirable from ev-
cry point OF view. The lot is seventy
five feet wide and 40 deep. The COM
alittee will close negotiations with ldr.
Sinton for the lot today.

Heretofore the speaker has been a MEM
Der of the committee on rules, covering a
period of sixty years, and the present

There has been much talk on the part

profoundly believes hat to act otherwise is
to d~lsorganize parties, Is to prevent CO.

to make impossible the reflection of the

THE speaker cannot be unmlndful OF
the fact, as evidenced by three previous
elections to the speakership, that in the
past he has enjoyed the confidence of the
republican party OF the country and OF
the republican members of the house; but
the assault upon the speaker Of the house
by the minority, supplemented by the eff
forts OF the so-called insurgents, show that
the democratic minority, aided by a num-
Der OF so-called insurgents, constituting
10 per cent OF the majority party in the
house, Is now in the majority and that the
speaker Of the house is not in harmony
with the actual majority of the house, as

"There are two courses open for the
speaker to pursue: one is to resign and
permit the new combination of democrats
