MEETING Of the Stockholders OF Ham
iIton Pleasure Institution De-
cidea on Steps to be
Taken.
WILL BE AUTO CLUB
One Of tho Purposes VIII be to Build
Better Roads and Another to
Mark These Roads
Properly.
Especial to The Gate City.1

HAMILTON, ILL.,, May 2e. At
meeting held last week, the stock
| holders of the Lake View Motor club
decided to re-organize as soon as the
necessary legal steps can be taken,
into the Hancock County Automobile
club. Under the new plan, the mem
bership will be increased from 100 to
/ 900, but there will no increase of
capital stock from 100000, the original
amount The stock will be divided
into smaller shares. each for $40, fully
paid and non assessable, and the an
nual dues will be $3.50 per member.
Interim certificates of membership
in the new organization will be on
sale Immediately, in order to give all
the new members the full privileges
of membership during the present
summer season. Since there are
about 1000 automobile owners in Han
cock county, not to speak OF several
hundred Lee county car owners who
will want membership, no difficulty is
anticipated in disposing of the 100
shares of stock at $1,000 each.
The objects of the Hancock County
Automobile club viii be as follows:
Cd To encourage the building OF
better roads in Hancock county, to
cooperate with other county and
state organizations in securing federal
and state aid,
| (2) To assist in road making, with
mileage and danger signs.
| (3) To offer rewards for recovery
of stolen automobiles belonging to its
members.
| 90 To own and operate club
house and grounds for the pleasure
and recreation of it's members: to pro
vide a pleasant place for auto owners
and their families to go; to furnish
meals and refreshments, fishing, boat
ing and bathing, and to do and per-
form all other things ordinarily done
for the benef1t Of the automobile fra
Iternity.
! Hancock county is in need of an au-
tomoble association of this character
Few, if any, auto clubs in the state
are equipped with such beautiful
club house and grounds as are now
owned by this club on the lake shore
above Hamilton, and it is believed
that the automobile owners of Han
cock and Lee counties will not be slow
in taking advantage Of this new or
ganization. Many Keokuk citizens
are new members of the Lake View
Motor club, and are interested in its
reorganization, and every keokuk mo-
torist will welcome this cooperative
campaign for better roads over IN
Hancock county.

Subtraction of both Republican and
Democratic vote in Tennessee and North
Carolina, the only Southern States
where Republicanism has proved any
factor in the past, makes the votes in
tho. nine other Southern States: Demo
cratic 1,007,00l; Republican 23O,319.
George B. Lockwood, editor Of the
National Republican, who lately appear
ed before the Senatorial Committee in
vestigating campaign expenditures, is
much Interested in the Southern situa-
tion.
"For some reason,' he says, "condi-
tions in many Southern States are such
that there is not even n free Govern
ment, and apparently those conditions
have escaped the attention of Congress
and the public. There are conditions
in which perhaps 2 or 3 per cent Of the
people do not even participate in the
elections, and in the State of Virginia
Mr.. Lockwood takes the position that
the whole suffrage situation should be
adjusted.
"The eleven States of the old South,
plus Oklahoma, have fewer voters than
illinois, but five times the representa-
tion in Congress and in the Electoral
College, He, says, "In Mississippi
and South Carolina only one person in
thirty votes while in Indiana ono in
four votes. This does not take III ac-
count the new woman vote. The situa-
tion should be cleared up. % =
At present the eleven Southern States
have a representation in the House Of
104 members. How much this member
ship could be cut has not been figured,
az the Committee on Census prefers to
wait until the result Of the census has
been announced. It is said however, in
some quarters that a reduction of one
third could be made.
