PLANS OF SOCIALISTS. Independent Clubs Will Unite In County Organization. Mulino, Ore., Dec. 26. 1904 Editor Courier: 1 notice in last week's Courier that the Socialist mass meet ing called for December 17, had been postponed. This is a mistake. The morning session was postponed until the afternoon on account of the Socialists who were trading. This gave rise, no doubt, to the error. The meeting was called to order at 1 :45 p. m. and' W. S. U'Hen, Sr.,, elected chairman and C. S. Howard, tempor ary secretary The new county con stitution whs read and after some dis cussion one small amendment was adopted. Heretofore the Socialists have been organized in several small local clubs, independent of the county organizations and holding communi cation with tht) state secretary. This had proved very unsatisfactory ' and led to the action taken at tho meet ing. The new constitution provides for the uniting of all these clubs in THE MAYORALTY.
