ately. The club, he declared, will
have no age limit. as its name
might, suggest, but will be open
to all republicans, with progress
siveness as its watchword.
Local members of the g. o. p.
are alarmed over several things.
among which is the apparent
slipping" of the party here in the
last few years. Another cause for
worry is the activity of the demo-
cratic party of late. The demo-
cratic town committee has been
showing plenty of life and the
Democratic Woman's club has also
been active. The Jeffersonians
have been steadily cutting into the
usually heavy republican majority
in recent elections, and at the last
biennial vote, the g. o. p. had the
smallest majority in its history.
One of the organizers said today
that the young republicans would
be instrumental in nominating a
new republican slate at the caucus
in the fall.
The last upheayal in the repub-
lican party in Thomaston was some
years ago when a coalition of
members of the g. o. p. and demo-
Gratis named a candidate and tried
to Gust the republican administers
ton. The effort, however, was Of
no avail.
Democrats are keeping a watch
full eye on developments of the
formation of the new club. Some
of them see possibility of split
in the g. o. p. ranks.

tinuance. The correspondent re-
grets the error.
