(From Sundays DaiIy)


 have the ladies or the republican faith among the most enthusiastic workers in the coming campaign ii one can
 figure by the action of the mass meet ing held at Dougherty's ball last night when preliminary steps were taken towards the organization of the Re publican Club of Prescott. Another evidence Of consideration for the fem mine vote was shown by the decision to appoint the ladies on the member ship committee and arrange for a good orchestra and a dance to follow the regular business of permanent organization.
 In spite of the inclement weather Dougherty's hall was well-illed. Near ly fifty men were present when C. M. Raiblc. chairman of the republican county central committee. called the meeting to order.
 Mir. Raiblc read the constitution and bylaws of the Phoenix Rcpubli- car Club. This provided that the membership be limited to male citi- zcns. The Prescott republicans de cided that their club should make no distinction as to sex and when the membership committee was appointed a number of well-known ladies inter csted in republican poncies were named to serve with the men who were known to be interested in re- publicanism.
 A letter from Thomas F. Campbell his regret at not being able 10 attend the meeting and advised the importance and necessity of a com pact organization in Prescott Of all those who were interested in the building up and maintaining of con structive policy for the protection of American labor and American indus tries. the maintenance of American dignity. and the safety of American citizens throughout the world. He urged. especially. that republicans in office be allowed to remain i1 the background and the control of the club be left to others.
 Judge F. O. Smith suggested the of a temporary chairman and a temporary secretary to arrange for a meeting at which permanent or canization might be effected. Richard Lamson was chosen as chairman of the meeting and A. II. Powers as sec retary.
 A suggestion for the appointment of a committee on constitution and bylaws was voted down on the ground that this matter should be left for the meeting at which the per manent organization would be ef- fected. The following committee on was then appointed:
