The Harrisburg Republican Club,
at the conclusion of another very
successful and prosperous year, is
preparing for it's annual election.
At the business meeting this week
much regret was expressed over the
declination of Ashton ID. Peace to
stand for secretary for another
twelve months. Mr.. Peace, an Off
cial of the Central Iron and Steel
Works, has been unremittingly faith
full as secretary of the club for fif-
teen years and he might have had
tho office for as many more had he
chosen. He has been both popular
and efficient and has seen the club
grow from a very small beginning to
be one of the influential Republican
clubs of the state. He declined re-
election for the reason that he had
not the time for it. due to increased
duties with the steel company.
The nominations follow: Presi-
dent, Edward Falter; vice-president,
Charles Tress; secretary David Her
bert; trustees, (three to be elected)
Herman Geiger, Harry Morton, w.
d. Block, A. Demma, b. f. Murry,
