Sentiment Is shattered from the be ginning to the end of the roll of mem. bers and in such a state oi. affairs, no ' prediction is adequate. It is evident, however,- that the advocates for re hioval are earnestly working to con vince the ( members of the feasibility of the plan while those opposing it are arraying their arguments in prop--er; shape to -present them at the meet lng "of the stockholders' where the lissuevill be fought to Its. finish.

It has been intimated that the. club members should have the prerogative of .-submitting . on. . their own" initiative a . counter plan . to . the Stephens" Company, and .after all, this may be the direction taken. The offer that is . now,' before the minds of the members is the only tangible propoaU tion that can be considered.' Mr. Chat ham, having denied to present fo mally and officially what he . proposes to "do So' far as matters now stand, the Stephens pompany has made its proposition"' ami is leaving It for the stockholders -to determine whether -It is fair ' or not.
