Now we have vivid recollections of
the great saving power of this won.
derful Mr. Skdmore. We remember
in October 1909 the club was in great
peril, just about ION the rocks" Mr..
Skidmore addressed communication
to the secretary of the club to the
effect that IT appeared that politics
were being infused into the club, and
IL he saw any more evidence of par.
tist' politics, he would be compel
led TO withdraw his membership. Ev-
identity acting upon the advice of this
remarkable man, The Journal at
that time said there has developed a
feeling among Democrats that the
Commercial.Booste club is being
used to further the interests of the
Republican party of this city. Many
Democrats, men of prominence in this
community too, have made plain and
emphatic protest against the action
of the, club officials. Our
advice to President Bacon and Sec.
rotary Allen is to get busy for we
have no desire to see the Boosters
club destroyed, or its usefulness i'm
| paired" Messrs. Bacon, Harris and
Llngton got very busy and published
statement in the next issue of The
Journal over their signatures that the
club was not in politics, and called
a special meeting of the board of di.
rectors and invited any and all citi-
zens, or members of the club to pre-.
sent any statement he may care to
make. This statement said. 1--WE are
determined that so far as we are
concerned The Commensurate Boosters
club shall be free from all activity in
politics, and we here declare it to
be our conviction formed after care.

to the contrary is entirely without
foundation in fact" A special com.
nuli"ation was sent to Mr.. Skid. |
mole to be present at the special |
meeting. Did he come you ask? No. |
he skulked away like dew before the
rising sun, and had utterly nothing
TO say Saved! Saved! the club was

Al am short time ago some of his
fsllow business men entered into

Gently been busy in a little ventura
OF his own choosing. Mr.. Skidmoro,l
aud some of his immediate following

Mr.. Skidmore has ao;'d in this little
venture of his. M skidmore goes to

Not IL you know him. In a signed /!
statement in which he is Joined by
fourteen others, out of the entire |
membership of the club he says:
