the Progressive movement was strong in
the district. the fact that "A second Re-

The headquarters Of the old club have
been at No. 81 Madison avenue. in the
southern end Of the district. The need Of
an organization clubhouse in the upper
end OF the 9th led to the organZa ton
of the Lenox club. which has an entire
house In Park avenue. between Sth and

district is Just one block below.
The old club had almost eight hundred
members. while the new one has already
