At the last meeting of the executive committee with nine members of - the committee present, an effort was made to secure the adoption of a resolution pledging the club to use "every honor able means" to secure the eleotion by the legislature of a Republican senator. At that time the resolution was laid upon tha table until the meeting of to morrow night, though, had brought to a vote it defeated. Much feeling haa been aroused in the club over the effort to drag the organi sation Into the senatorial fight when such action would only serve to promote discord and disharmony. Influential members of the organisation are much opposed td the resolution, deeming that it waa brought before tha club at the instigation of outside parties solely to further th iperaonal ambitions of out side men. There are many in the organ isation who do not believe that tha oluh should be made a party to the effort now under way to induce members of the legislature to repudiate the prom- Uses they made to the people. To do so would be simply to stir up internal strife In the club, it is argued, and to morrow night a strong opposition will develop against the consideration of the resolution.

All the lumbermen from the Paclflo coast snd the eastern and southern states who are here for the ways and means committee hearing met this aft ernoon to confer as to the presentation of their case.
