The Republican County COMMITTEES
met last night In Bryant Hail Reso-
lutions were introduced asking the
party ITO get closer to the people" and
condemning the activities of tho Ku
Klux Khan. The resolutions were re-
ferred to tho new committee on resolu-
tions and will probably DO adopted at
the January meeting.
The resolution regarding ~the people,
was introduced by former State sena-
tor Martin Sake It received little ap-
plause from those In the hail. which was
jammed to the doors. The resolution

troduced by Emanuel Hertz Mr.. Saxe's
resolution said:
by the election of 1890 the people
declared their confidence in the Re
publican party. but the New York cleo
tions Of 1921 and 1922 clearly indicated
that our party has definitely lost
ground. Among the active party work.
ers in New York county there is dis
tinct feeling that tho party Is not. and
for some time has not been close to the
people; that the people are weary Of
being told what is being done for them |;
that the people will support the Repub-
lican party when they are convinced
by It's activities that 1t Is genuinely
working with the people.
1.-THE Republican party must regain
the confidence of the people and to us,
the party workers, Is presented this
work. Let us blaze the way for getting
closer to the people, ascertaining the
wishes Of the great majorities and then
impose upon our leaders the duty of
executing those wishes Of the electorate
into concrete form Of party principles
and carried to fruition by the Republi-
can party"
The Ku Klux Klan resolution said:
whereas. the attention Of the entire
nation has been directed and focused
to an organization known as the Ku
Klux Klan. whose activities In trying
to bring into being medieval secret
and super government by force into

sibilities.

A little cloud climbed UP the sky.
With purpose and intent,
To hide a shining silver moon.
Before its life was spent
But, all serene, the moon shone on
And soon the little cloud was gone.
A little trouble tried one day
To darken a glad heart.
To spread itself and grow so big
That all else must depart.
But happiness was there to stay
And so the trouble crept away.
