ner.
AS non-partisan body and with
distinct social complexion. the Indiana
State Society is the successor OF the
Indiana Republican Club, which had
fourished more or less during the 80
years preceding 1905. when the pres
ent association took form. Jerry A.
:,
gallery and a we'll known newspaper
correspondent, may be deemed the
founder of the Hoosier Society in
Washington, for it was through his
efforts that the political form was
abolished and this State fell into line
with similar organizations which were
beginning to appear above the social
horizon.
REORGANIZATION Effected.
Mr.. Mathews and q small group of
Hoosiers living in Washington, among
whom may be mentioned Edwin c.
Roots of Connersville and William P.
Billings Of Seymour. called a meeting,
which was held in the old Metzerott
Hall. now the Columbia Theater, in
May, 1905, and advised the formation
Of a society which would be non
political in all it's aspects. The Indiana
Republican Club had a controversy
which had indeed embraced all such
activities in Washington, with Will
liam W. Foulke. president of the Civil
Service Commission. because of the
collection of funds from civil service
employees TO further various political
ends. Mr.. Foulke was an Indiana
man and he favored having State So
cieties removed from such activities.
AS Mr.. Mathews stood staunchly
behind this principle, he was elected
first president. and with him in the
management of the new society were
his first associates. Mr.. Roots as sec
retary and Mr.. Billings as treasurer.
Among the residents of Washington
who joined were Mr.. and Mrs. James
P. Hornaday. Capt. and Mrs. j. p.
Megrew. Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Hastings.
Mr.. and Mrs. William ]. Ethel and
Mr.. and Mrs. II. W. Weber and Mr..
and Mrs. w. II. De Hart.

chairman; Senators James E. Watson
and Arthur r. Robinson. Mrs. James
P. Hornaday. Miss Kate Curry. Mrs.
Charles Cottingham and Ernest I.
Lewis. In addition to the regular
meetings the society has a red letter
day on its calendar, notably when the
two Vice Presidents Of the United
States. who were Hoosiers, were spe-
cially honored. The reception to the
Vice President and Mrs. Charles War
rem Fairbanks was given in the old
Arlington Hotel in December, 1905.
and was attended by almost 1000
guests. Thomas Riley Marshall was
entertained by the society during a
visit to Washington while he was
Governor of the State. He and Mrs.
Marshall were special guests in De-
cember. 1918, at which just as brilliant
a function was given at Rauscher's
as that rendered to the Fairbanks.

There were several meetings that
first year, given at irregular intervals,
first in the Washington Club. then at
the hall of the Knights of Pyth,. s
and at the Carroll Institute. The
Rebew Orchestra, at the head of
which was II. w. Weber of the Gov
ernment Printing Office, volunteered
its services. and Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
l.. Jones, 1ndianianS, we'll known In
local musical circles, trained a quar-
tet. which helped out considerably.
The society also looks upon Miss
Sarah Frances Wolfe of Seymour,
then resident here. as one of its early
benefactors. when she contributed
her we'll known dramatic talents to
the evening meetings. Mrs. Raymond
Dickey, a violinist. did her share in
attracting HooSierS to the associa-
ton just formed in honor of the
State.
Mr. Mathews and his aides contin-
ued in office for two terms, but the
association which they had founded
had ceased to be nomadic and had
entered on a steady and prospered
career. The interest of the Senators
and members of the House grew, and
they attended the most important
meetings, and in less than 10 years
the Indiana Society numbered almost
500 members.
Those Who Served i'm Chair.
The second president Of the asso-
citation was A. L. Lawshe, who was
then Assistant Postmaster General.

and at the first meeting of the year,
held on December 16 at Rauscher's,
there was a big list Of honor guests
present. together with the Postmaster
General and Mr.. and Mrs. Everett
