town. The general sentiment
seemed to be that commercial club
should be organized and that fee
of SIS should be decided upon. Upon
that basis an even fifty persons
came forward and signed up. A
sufficient number Of officers were
then elected to insure the per.
fecting of the organization, it also
being deemed best to fill the
more important Offices while so
large an attendance was available
to the end that the choice for each
office could be considered the gener.
al choice and that every business
man, without regard to political
factions or beliefs. could conscien-
tiously support such officers. A
president. secretary and a treasurer
were then elected by secret ballot.
In order to avoid the possibility
of any charge ever being made that
the organization had been accom-
plished for the benefit of any small
parcel or clique Of persons or that
there had been no possibility of
packing" the meeting or running
through prearranged slate. it was
decided to secure nominations by &C.
cret ballot. The method used in
each instance was as follows: Every
member was asked to write name
as his choice for the nomination.
The three men receiving the highest
number of such nominations were
then voted on for final selection
In that way every person present
had chance to submit candidate
and three of the ones appearing to
be the most generally desired were
then declared the nominees. For
president the three nominees receiv-
ing the highest number of votes
we're Messrs. M. T. Barger, Edward
Braddock and F. B. Streeter. On
the final vote M. L. Barger was de.
clared the winner and the choice of
the membership for president until
such time as his successor shall have
been elected. The Office Of secre-
tary was the next to receive atten-

tion. The three highest on the nom
mating ballot were Messrs. Earl
Smith. Thos. Jones and F. B. Stree
ter. On the final vote f. B. Streeter
was declared elected. For treasurer
E. II. Smith. j. A. Lang and f. j..
Pietz were the high men and on final
vote A Lang was declared elected.
Upon the completion of the bal
loting for president, secretary and
treasurer. it was the voice of the
meeting that these three officials act
as committee on permanent organ
ization. They were instructed to
prepare bylaws, etc.. call meeting
and submit the bylaws for approval.
At that time all other officers neces-
sary for the proper discharge of such
, business as will come before the club
will be elected.
The writer never before saw so en-
thusiastic meeting in Linton as
was that mass-meeting last Thurs
day night. The fact that we are
face to face with one or two ques-
tions of vital interest to the COM
munity was the main factor in maxi
ing the meeting success. We re-.
fer to the question Of securing an
electric-light plant of adequate size
for this town. This and other sim.
liar questions made it SO apparent
that a permanent organization in
the nature Of commercial club was
vital necessity. When it became
generally conceded that such was
the case there was no holding back
and men who had antagonized each
other for years in politics, or who
had competed to the last ditch in the
way Of trade, put their shoulders to
the wheel and there was nothing
but harmony and cooperation as a
result.
At the close of the business meet
ing the new commercial club list
ened to remarks from number Of
visitors. Among them were the fol-
lowing: M. S. Hyland, an electrical
engineer and dealer in electrical
supplies from Fargo; William 7.

A CONAERg''EiI GLIB
Record Breaking Attendance at
R"using Mass Meeting Fifty
Members Sign Up

When fifty local business men at
a mass-meeting Thursday night
walked up and signed their names
for membership in a commercial
club at a fee Of SIS per year each. q
movement was started that will bear
untold results in improvement and
added prosperity to Linton, its citi-
zens and the communities tributary
to it.
From time to time the subject of
a Commercial Club has been brought
up and discussed. The meeting last
week demonstrated that the time
was ripe for such movement. 1t
had been generally believed that
such a move would be doomed to
failure. Although we have much
yet to accomplish. the start has been
made. Fifty members as a start in
sured its success. The Linton Com
mercial Club will at once take a po-
sition as the most influential power
in settling local questions Of public
welfare and in bringing business
ventures here that will tend toward
the prosperity of the town. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that at least
seventy.fve local business men will
have signed up by the next meeting
which will be called in short time
to perfect the organization.

question of a commercial club was
the main topic Of discussion. About
one hundred persons were present.

would result from such a meeting.

capitalists to establish new indus

morning, later to be arraigned be-

who figured in the scrape are given

will appear before the club. 1t is
proposed to extend the Ottertail

Bowman, Jan. 27.-Geo. Olson, of

and followed it up with a general

a commercial club for Linton has
always been the deepest wish nf
the writer. We have seen the re-
suits accomplished in other towns
and we have always known that such
movement would be necessary be-
fore this town could ever expect to
come into its own in every respect.
If nothing else should ever be ac-
complished-which will not be the
case o-the simple fact that there is a
comm ercial club even in name only
at the county-seat of Emmous
county would have an effect which
would make it well worth the time
and expense borne by the members.
We mean that the fact that there is
q commercial club in Linton will
have the right kind of an effect in
bringing buslness our way. The
commercial club as u factor in the
upbuilding of town has reached
the point throughout the United
States that any man or set Of men
who contemplate investing. look
with aversion upon the prospects of
a town where there does not appear
to be sufficient life to establish such
a club. We have it. now and it will
not take many months to demon
strate what can be accomplished.
