REPUBLICANS
ARE ORGANIZED;
(continued from page 3) j
passed declaring the club established.:
Only one nomination was made for |
president, vice and secretary' ami
Temporary Secretary' James cast the
ballot for each, except for himself.
When it came to the nomination for;
a treasurer a spicy little moment was,
provided. With that ‘‘cut and dried
insinuation in mind, no doubt, Jack
Finnegan nominated Button for the
onerous duties. Green nominated the
secretary and someone else nominated
Romig, but the chair ruled that the
secretary could not be treasurer ami
Dr. Romig declined so that when But
ton was nominated and declared elect
ed it looked as if honor were being
forced on him intentionally. “I said it
came to my ears that this meeting
was cut and dried”, said Button in his
speech of acknowledgement “and I’m
darned if l don’t believe so now more
than ever.” Mr. Button proceeded by
say ing that he was “not a speech
maker but a second hand dealer.
Then he told a pretty and touching
little story that seems to lose little by
age, especially in the hands of a man
who has brought down to a science
the trick of making second hand
things look new. Rev. Mr. Cook,
seemed to enjoy the story immensely
—nit Mr. Button wound up by mov
ing that a collection should b* taken
up to pay for the hall. “I want to get
a hold of some money” quoth he.
“Thus spoke a true Re publican” said
Finnegan. Mr. Button certainly
tickled the meeting and he might be
compared to the month of March
which comes in like a lion ami goes
out like a lamb. That brings to mind
the fact that the other officers made
speeches. President Sloan said his
election gave him a chance to make a
speech and it was too good a chance
to throw down. “As long as I am |
president of this club its work will be
straight and above board,” he declar
ed and he continued with some elo
quence to show how proud he was of
being a Republican ami how he ab
horred anything in the shape of a
“Republican with an adjective.” Vice
President Bruner, who was nominat
ed by a clannish Nomeite named J.
P. Badger, expressed perfect confi
dence tliat the Republican party was
in sight of victory. He advised the
local Republicans to keep organized
as nothing is possible without organi
zation. *T look for Alaska to get a
full territorial form of government
said he “not a commission form or
statehood.”

“Now* we’ll have the speech of the
evening” said the president and all
eyes sought the blushing secretary.
“I won’t be kidded into making a
speech” said Secretary James but
“sw’earing he would ne’er consent,
consented” and he launched into a
fluent expression of the conviction
that the club “will stand for clean
Republicanism and not cliquism.”
It was then decided to call a meet
ing for Monday, Dccmber 27, at w'hich
the committee on bye law's and con
stitution will present its report. The
chair appointed on that committee
Judge Finnegan Vice-President Brun
er and Secretary James.
To finish as the story began, it can
be said that the meeting w-as a really
successful one and all present mani
fested a really serious desire to get
down to business. Take warning, ye
Democrats.
