EXPECT SPLIT IN
REPUBLICAN CLUB
Progressives and stand-Pat-
ters in Third Ward organiza-
ton, Arlington, Disagree.

The expected split in the ranks of
the Third Ward Republican Club, Ar
lington, mater:alized last night, when
initial steps were taken toward
changing the name of the club. At
present the organization is composed
of Regular and Progressive Repub
licans, and while socially the MEM
bers are on the best of terms, polit-
ically there is wide breach
Councilman Walter r. Chapman
offered motion providing that here
after the club be known as the Third
Ward Progressive Club. Mayor Louis
NJ. Brock seconded the motion.
Former School Commissioner Frank
B. Plat declared he would step out

Stowe Cults Club.
j. Albert Stowe, one of the fore
most members Of the club and promi-
nent in civic affairs in general, ceased
last night to be any longer affiliated
with the organization. His resigna-
ton, presented some time ago, was
formally accepted In his letter.

Star Mr.. Stowe f1ayed the club for
its political attitude. The resignation
was not read last night Duncan
Campbell, secretary, declared the
members were conversant with the
facts of the missive, and, therefore,
there was no necessity for reading it.
John S. McAdsm, a member, favored
Mr.. Stowe being requested TO recon-

Der of the club. Charles O'Conor
Irwin pointed ont that in order to
have Mr.. Stowe remain in the ranks
it would be necessary to conform
with Mr.. Stoves political liking. Mr.
Platt declared that should the club
become Progressive" he would be
compelled to follow the footsteps of
Mr.. Stowe.
Mayor Brock declared the Club
could not exist under present con-
ditions. The mayor. who is a Pro-
gressive, said in part: I'VE have
come to the parting of the ways. It
is impossible to live in the same
political family The principles of
the party members are radically diff
ferent. Those who CAN'T live under
the Progressive name will have to
step out and wee versa with regard
to the name of Regular.
Final action on the resolution will
not be taken until the next meet
ing, when there will be a general de-
bate.

The building was only a two-story

were buried beyond hope of rescue.
A half dozen policemen, on the job

lined up in the street, quickly, pulled
the firemen out of the burning pile,

BY this time another alarm had

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.

Editor The Advertiser:
Thinking perhaps the public would
like TO know something of the work
done by the Kings Daughters, espec-
tally the last year, | will ask you to
grant me small space to do So
twenty one years ago last November
our circle of Kings Daughters was
organized by the Rev. A G. Wardlaw,
then pastor of the Presbyterian church
with five members. Only two of
those members remain in the circle
We took as our text Bear We one an
others burdens" Our work for the
first few years was local, helping to
bear the burdens of the suffering ones
by contributing food, fuel, clothes
medicine, ice and medical services. AS
our membership increased our enthu-
Slasm seemed to be catching. The
newspapers and merchants encourage
ed and helped us in numerous ways.
We began to send donations outside
our town, responding to calls made
for earthquake and storm sufferers in
our own state and sister states. Still
we worked ana helped, sending dona-
ttons twice to China for the famine

tive letter of William p. White chairman Of the Ma
ton Progressive State Committee, there longer
should be any hesitation by that committee in tak-
ing up for immediate and earnest discussion with
George II. Hall. the Republican candidate for Con-
grcss the question of the political wisdom OF his
tircment from the Republican ticket The letter OF
Mr. White makes two things clear Ono is that the
National Progressves in this State. although exceed
mgy desirous of the of the Republican state
ticket viii not accept Mr., Hall their candidate
for Congress- but, il need be- will nominate a candi-
date OF their own take the field against him. Tho
other is that they willing TO join with the Re-
publicans in the support OF candidate Of Progress
sve tendencies but who is in favor Of the preserva-
of the protective feature of the American tariff
Nor do the National Progressives attempt to tic the
Republicans down to the support OF any particular
candidate in enecting the proposed compromise. They
mention Colonel John G. Townsend il is true. They
add. however that "there are. doubt other
sentative citizens of Sussex county, who would be
acceptable" their Representative in Congress- aud
who would honoraby represent the State and pro-
mote it's welfare in national affairs.
That letter places the Congressional situation in
formal and conclusive form, far it affects Mr.
Hall The members of the Republican State Com
mtee need feel further hesitancy in submitting
TO him for definite answer the question whether no
docs not think 1t would be better for the party, tho

a compromise candidate who go into the fight and
