a new organization, the Long
View association, the membership Of
which includes the names of some
well-known men of the city, has
been successfully launched upon the
waters of the political sea with
great eclat. The new organization
has arisen from the dead members
OF the late Knockers club" which
was originally made up of residents
living in the vicinity of Long View
park. Commodious quarters have
been secured at 11O9 Fifteenth
street, and the rooms will. be sec
ond to none in the city as to ele-
CANT appointment and luxurious
furnishings. s. A. LaVanway, ons
Of the club members, has generously
offered to donate a stove to the club
rooms provided the furniture IL pur-
chased from him. The officers who
have been elected thus far are Phil
Miller, president, and W. H. Bunker,
secretary. The club now boasts a
membership OF so and expects to
add % more men within the next
month.
The aim OF the club Is TO further
the best interests of the city. At
sach meeting a discussion will be
held as to the manner in which the
city administration fs being conduct
ed and suggestions will be freely Of
fered as to methods Of remedying
existing evils, should any be found.
There ia no doubt but that the as
ISOLATION will have no small part in
the molding OF public opinion and
that II will strive to maintain the
highest standards of government is
a foregone conclusion. The club is
non-poIitical, having on its roster
republicans. democrats, independents,
socialists and prohibitionists.

pitiful question. Most of the adult
