INCIDENTS IN HARLEM.
FORMING NEW REPUBLICAN CLUBS AND
ENROLLING MEMBERS IN OLD ONES.

| ENROLLING MEMBERS IN OLD ONES
There Is no doubt about the confidence in the minds
Of Harlem Republicans as to the success Of their cket
! II they can get out the full Republican vote As
registering is the first step toward voting II WI" oe wen
! TO remember the days Of registering. Ihey are as
follows Tuesday October 6; Wednesday, OCTOBER ~ ;
Friday october o. Saturday, october "a The Boards
! OF Registry will be in session on these days IN edoh
| election district from a. m. to p m All hePupn
cans are Urged to register on the first day, Iuesoay
October g. and to induce many as possible OF thelr
Republican friends to register at the same time
Never before, unless it was in Presidential cam
paign have the Republicans Of Harlem been so thor
ourhly aroused and alive to the issues at stake as IN
the present contest. Clubs that have been extinct
or dormant since the campaign of 1888 have been re-
| organized and placed on fighting basis. While num-
erns other clubs, which usually are not brought lhto
existence except in Presidential campaigns are Deins
formed in every district In the northern part OF the
| island From Fify-nntb-st north TO Harlem River
and along the west side of Central Park up to wash
! ipcton Heights The Republicans alive with enthu
iasm and with earnest endeavors for the success OF
the Republican ticket. Men who have seldom attehueu
| meetings are coming ont and taking mana III lne
fight for the election of Soat Fassett and his brother
| nominees the " stay-at-home' contingent mas Deen
brought sout and has caught the general enthusiasm
and in turn actively engaged in dragging out other
| "stay at-homes"
But the most encouraging feature Of the canvass IN
its present stage the interest displayed by the Young
| men of Harlem. The number Of first voters WHO
have organized under the banner Of j. soat fasse or
| the "young man," he is popularity termed, IS uh
precedentedy large and bepcas well for the future OF
| the Republican party in Harlem. In almost every
| election district young mems clubs have been or
ganzed and it is largely owing TO this phase OF the
campaign that the general and unprecedented en-
| thusiasm and confidence In the success Oh INC ho-
| publican ticket is due.
But Republican leaders are not basing their pre-
dictions of an overwhelming majority only on the
! enthusiasm shown In tyeir party. Aside from that
they have good reasons for feeling confident OF sue
| cess one of the speakers clearly showed this on
| Wednesday night at the opening of the new hall OF
| the Hamilton Club, at No. OF West One hundred
and twenty -ffthst. He said make no exaggerated
statement when l say that the Republicans will elect
their ticket by rousing majority this fall II we can
| only get Republicans to vote. That is the danger
| In the XIXth Assembly District last fall there were
90 900 voters registered, but only $4,000 voted, show
ing that fully 1000 who had registered had not
voted. Everybody knows that 5000 ont Of the 1000
voters Republicans. Add to this number those
negligent Republicans who did not register at ALL and
| you have enough votes 10 keep the XlNth Assembly
District Republican for years to come. The real hght
| In this campaign is not against the Democrats; they
are already beaten, but it is fight to make all Re
pubcans register and when registered to make them
| vote, and then TO that the votes are honestly
| counted. The fight is right here in our own camp
If each and every loyal Republican will constitute
himself committee of one 10 see that one Republican
besides himself registers and votes. we shall roll up
majority that will astOnish u.s. but unless do sec
TO this most vital point go on converting Dem
| ocrats and Independents by the thousands. as we
certainly are doing, but it will be like pouring water
into Sieve The leak is in the Republican tab. Stop
| the leaks"
A good example of the wonderful enthusiasm with
which the Republicans entering the campaign in
