The seventh annual convention of the
Oklahoma Young Mems League Of Dem
Ocratic Clubs will be held in Ardmore,
at Convention Hall, Feb. %. The meet
ings of this organization are always i'm
portant and the body is one of the most
representative that gathers in conven-
ton within the state ArdmOre sent it's
representatives and invited the league TO
come to Ardmore for its meeting this
year and the invitation was accepted.
AS other cities were clamOrinE for the
meeting, Ardmore was fortunate in Sc
curing it, and cannot now fail to enter
tain the delegates as well, at least, as
they have been in cities where their for
mcr conventions have been held, but
at meeting of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club Of Carter County, held at
the county courtroom last night. there
were just seven members present.
The time is at hand when the prepa-
rations must be completed yet no APP
pre- able amount of activity was APP
parent on the part of the citizens other
than those who appeared at the meeting
place last night. II was stated last
night that $1,000 was necessary for the
entertainment Of the visitors and that
the money must be raised today. A
finance committee had been appointed
two months ago and If it has collected
any money It was not made known last
night A motion was made and car
red that the president appoint another
finance committee, after comforting with
the present one, and proceed to col
lect the money necessary for the ex-
penses.

president of the club the blame for
want of publicity being given the meet
| ing rested upon The Ardmoreite Had
it not been for Russell Brown on Wed
nesday evening, calling attention to the
meeting of last night. The Ardmoreite
would have had no information whatever
regarding it, On Thursday there was pub
lished an article telling Of the meeting
and asking for a large attendance. The
Ardmoreite reaches every home in the
city, and there was probably not one Of

moreite and one member ked if he
| thought it was on account of politics
! that The Ardmoreite neglected to give
the meeting greater publicity, and the
| president graciously said he did not,
| for The Ardmoreite had heretofo c
treated the club well.
The few members present finally got
| down to work and started in to recover
what has been lost through want of
interest on the part of the members OF
the club whose duty it is to t-le the
initial steps in preparing for the com
ing Of the delegates.
1t was reported in the meeting last
night that one member of the finance
committee had said he would give $50
to be relieved from duty on the com
mittee.
