ORGANIZATION
WILSON CLUB
PROGRESSING
MANY ARE SIGNING PETITIONS
NOW BEING CIRCULATED BY
ENTHUSIASTIC FRIENDS - Or
GANIZATIoN NEXT WEEK.

When the meeting is held the early
part of next week for the purpose Of
organizing a Woodrow Wilson Club
advocating his nomination and election
to the presidency of the United States,
il appears now that the club will start
off under most favorable circumstances,
a large number of Pensacola's best
Democrats having already signed the
Wilson petitions with signers coming
in rapidly.
There are no paid workers circulat-
ing the Wilson petitions only his en-
thusiastic admirers taking part in the
preliminary work of the organization.
No one person is giving his whole time
to securing signers and it is remark
able that the petitions are being so
rapidly filled.
Indications are that Wilson will car
~ Pensacola two to one for at least
half of the business and professional
men and practically all of, the labori1g
classes are for the New Jersey man.
Organization Next Week.
It was intended that the organiza-
ton would be perfected tonight but on
account of the local talent play at the
opera house in which all Of Pensacola
is interested it was decided that the
date of holding a meeting to organize
should be postponed and II will proba-
bly, take place the early part of next
week.
There are a number Of petitions out
and anyone wishing TO sign them who
does not happen TO know where one Is
NAV come to The Journal office and
enter his name.
Yesterday one man was heard to re-
mark that he was for Underwood sim
ply to defeat Wilson, but his frankness
only told what a number of the I'm
derwood followers are trying to con-
ceal The triple frame-up TO defeat
Wilson is not taking well with intelli-
gent Pensacolians who believe in a
candidate running on his own merits.

Despite the unfavorable weather
which prevailed during the day, yes
terday was generally observed through
out the city as cleanup day, in ac-

during the approaching summer
However, the rain prevented some
people from cleaning their premises
and it is the hope Of the mayor and
the members of the city board of

advantage of the first opportunity of
placing their premises in a sanitary
condition before flies and mosquitoes
begin breeding rapidly.
