Pleased with 8 preliminary list of 1 40 names, which Republican Town Committee Chairman Edwin l.. Bur nap, Judge Nelson J. Ayling and Will jam 5. Young had been able to secure in few hours on Wednesday since the organization of a republican club had been suggested the night before, Norwich men of the republican faith met at the Buckingham memorial Wednesday evening and voted to form the Norwich Republican club. It is designed not merely to be an organiza- ton To rthis campaign, but to have permanency which will make it force available for any national, state or local campaign in the future.
 There was an attendance of over 35 when Town Committee Chairman Ed win l.. Burnap called the meeting to 1 order and asked for a nomination for temporary chairman. On motion of William B. Young, John D. Hall was elected and took the chair as those ! present applauded.
 John D. Hall Chairman.
 Chairman Hall. who had already 1 signed the list for membership, which had been circulated during the day, spoke convincingly of the value that the organization could be in local, state and national politics. The only hope he could see for the country, he said. was in a continuance of the Re- publican party in power, and he could not see how any thinking conscien- | tious voter could cast his ballot for the candidate of the so-called third party, who had been shown by the papers of the last twenty-four hours that he was not a man of his word. If Mir. Roosevelt accused Mir. Hartman of receiving "stolen goods and then took the money that MT. Hartman offered, he was just as guilty as if he
 stood pat with Mir. Hartman in re- ceiving the stolen goods
 There is only the cloud of politics on the horizen, said Mir. Hall, to hold
 business back and businessmen could only see solution in re-electing Mir Taft (applause). Mir Wilson has re- pudiated at New Haven the things the
 democratic party was committed tc
 at Baltimore regarding the triff. IT
 his personal opinion, MT. Hall said he
 looked for a period of business de-
 pression if the unfortunate should
 happen in the election of MT. Wilson
 The only thing to do to continue tht country at it's present level rate would
 be to re-elect MT. Taft.
 Organizer Henry M. Camp.
 Henry W. Tibbits was elected clerk
 and Organizer Henry M. Camp. wht
 had been in Putnam during the da, i was escorted to the platform by TowI Committee Chairman Burnap.

 40 local Republican clubs in the town
