This article would have the people lil- fer that a request of this kind, com- ing from the Jeffersonian Club, would Ihave very little or no effect, as it. _ Irn members were not loyal to the Demo- .cratic party during the last election. , Now. as president of this organization. 53: I wish to make the following state- ment: ‘ln the first place. let me say that the Jeffersoniau Democratic Clubla composed of the best Democrats in ., -. Norwaik. and that when the club wail organised, every Democrat in the city was given an opportunity to enroll as a member. As far as the club taking. part in the last local election. It is too,- absurd to consider for a moment}, the election was held in October and" the club was not formed until the XI“ of November. following. “There are members of this organb ration who favored the election of the People's ticket and. on the other hand. there are more members who worked diligently in the interests of the'CIitl-w zens’ ticket. In fact, one of the shelf! most, active members was one or tip. craters of the Citizens' party during. the campaign. "In conclusion let me say that in. though my claim for recognition byth‘c Democratic party for this appointmenti ’ cannot be questioned yet at the some time.
