Campaign for New Members Started
Today. Following Meeting at
Armory Last
Night.
ASSURED OF SUPPORT.
Local Business Men Who Attended
Meeting, Anxious to See Com
parry Reinstated in This
City.

campaign for new members was
launched today by Company l. follow.
ing the meeting held at the armory
last night to consider what steps to
take in the effort to hold the COM
pany in this city. The chief problem
facing the organization is that OF
securing new members who will take
an active interest in the organization.
At present the actual membership
of the company Is above the amount
required, but according to Lieutenant
Powell, who has charge of the com
pany at the present time, it is desir-
able that about thirty Of these men
be replaced by an equal number who
will take an active interest in the
company. He believes that it will not
be difficult matter to secure this
bers working toward this end
When the membership Of the COM
pany has been brought to the desired
standard the next step in the re-
organization Of the company will be
that of electing a captain and first
lieutenant, the former to replace Cap
tain r. T. Richardson whose resigna-
ton, it is expected, will be accepted
in short time.
At the meeting last night number
OF prominent business men were pres
ent and watched the company go
through its drills for an hour and a
half. On account of the fact that the
building was cold no speeches were
made, as had been contemplated.
The company has been assured the
financial support OF local business
men who are anxious that Keokuk
does not lose her company in the
Iowa National Guard.
