THE LEAGUE.
A GREAT YEAR FOR

lnt I't-AblI T.
The coming campaign will afford the National
League of Republican Clubs an excellent oppor-
tunity - demonstrate anew its practical value to
the party. This is 0lf-yclr in politics. In
most of the States there IS nothing but the Con-
grcSS elections to claim the attention Of the people.
Try rs they will. the regular party committees
will find 1t exceedingly difficult, except possibly in
few States Pcnnsy vania. for instance, 10 arouse
a general interest the part of the voters IN the
contest important though it is to the party.
They will need all the outside assistance that can
be secured and where could they find any 50
effective as that which can be furnished by the
parlys young but vigorous ally, the association OF
clubs?
In no State is there better field for League
activity than in Ncw-lo AS is generally
known, only one State officer, judge of the Court
Of Appeals. is 10 be elected. The selection OF
candidate for this Office was entrusted to the
Republican State Committee by the last State Con-
Ncntion. There is little, if any, doubt that the
committee will perform this duty, for, while 10
definite action has yet been taken in the matter II
i, practically settled that no convention VIII ~
called foI the purpose. y state Convention usu-
ally involves an expense of about S'o,"OV' ana
the party leaders believe that this would be an
Unnecessary expenditure, since the i"o-iod opj'cu
of the meeting choosing - candidate ioE jHc
