the party and their relations to the
fundamental prosperity of the coun-
try, and to awaken every member to
sense of his responsibilities as a
good citizen.
10 this comprehensive purpose
the Republican League devotes its
organization.
1t should be distinctly understood
that the State League and the local
clubs are in no way to interfere
with the function of the official COM
mIttees of the party. Neither the
State League nor the local club will
undertake to manage campaign,
but will cooperate with the ordin-
airy party organization, and render
its services, not in the selection, but
in the election, of candidates.
To the Republicans in each town
the appeal is made to organize at
once, and having organized, a GER
/ tifcate Of organization sent to TIE
member of the executive committee
for the county entities the club to
enrolment in the State League. As
soon as may be after the formation
of club, a canvass should be made
of each school district within it's
territory and a list made of the Re.
publicans and doubtful voters. So
far as possible it should be ascer-
tanned on what point the doubt ex-
lists. BY this means it is made pos
Sible to send proper documents TO
the right place AID in this way Sc
cure the largest vote for the Repub-
lican ticket.
The ideal Republican club is an
organization that maintains its &C
tlvity throughout the year. Its pri-
mary object should be to enroll
among its members all good Repub-
licans within its territorial limits,
and by public discussions and pri-
vate reading to inform its members
as to the fundamental principles of
the party, and their relations to the
prosperity of the country. The
club should hold meeting at least
once a month, at which a paper on
some political subject should be
read by some member or invited
guest, or some living question dis
cussed. 1t should, If possible, pro
vide a comfortable club house oil
club room, open every evening where
the members may meet in politica
and social intercourse. 1t should
secure the enrolment, and the regis
try, of every Republican voter, an(
when election day comes it shoulc
see that every Republican vote
discharges his duty at the polls.
The members of the executiv,
committee of the league have charge
of it's affairs in their respective
counties, and it is their duty to fur

: The formation OF young men,
Republican clubs in all the large
