group. My friends, Milt and Geor-
ge Gamin of Students for Walla-
&c, urged me to help set up a
Progressive Party club in the
18th Ward.
But where to get people to form
the club? Finally, l hit on a good
idea. I dropped over to the Star,
to Pea, to some of the nationality
papers and picked up mailing lists
for names of people living in the
ward.
There were plenty of problems
from the beginning. For instance,
at our second meeting people from
the 18th Ward came to us and
asked if we couldn't merge clubs
to join forces, so both clubs
would have enough active mem
bers to reach the people.
And our plans at first were too
elaborate. We had too many COM
AA%Ae~~o, NV OilOQSh 1OI dill the
work we planned, but too many
for our small membership. Both
wards are enormous. The 18th is
seven miles long with poor trans
porta ton facilities.
y
THEN we had trouble finding a
place to meet. For our third
meeting, we hired a large hall.
The night before the meeting,
the owner of the place called me
up saying that the local Demo-
Gratis didn't approve of our using
the hall, threatening him with
loss of their business # we had
