Inc very apparent good appetite and the
time, are due In very large measure, 1 ap-.
prehend, to the active and healthy exercise
1t has taken for the past year In doing what
Is considered to be its duty to the Republi-
can party, whose true success Is its most
hearty wish.
In the recent Municipal election 1t found
very pleasant and healthful recreation and
although it was not honored before the cleo
tion with such profuse advertisement as its
friend the Young Mems Democratic Club, 1t
had the later II more modest qualification of
shaking hands with q Republican Mayor,
elected on Republican principles and by Re-
publican voters.
But 1t has been In the advocacy Of certain
matters affecting the policy of the Republi-
can party throught the state that the club
has received its principaI exercise. Ever
since the late President Of this club. Mr.
Emerson. began in tine last State Convention
