Interestin~ Organization. T.
The work In the headquarters OF the he-
publican League of the State oil California
has been proceeding quietly but effectively.
The officers state that the principal OBJ
stacle with which they have had to contend
Is the education Of the people Of the State
up to the knowledge Of what the National
Republican League system Is and what 1t
can do in this State. In nearly every State
of the Union the league is recognized as the
leading political factor In the campaign
work.
The following is q copy of letter recent
ly Issued over The signatures of Colonel w.
II. Chamberlain, president. and ID. W. Nc
Neill, secretary:
The National League Club system Is based
upon the fact that organization Is as essential In
politics as In business; that 10 order to secure
organization. the efforts and enthusiasm OF every
Republican must be brought out; that thj, IL
best effected through clubs and the formation of
sufficient number of such In different locallte
TO allow nearly every one Ito be an active MEM
Der OF an organization.
Following this comes the matter OF the proper
distribution Of literature through clubs In such
a way as TO gel 1t into the hands of doubtful
voters.
BY the establishment Of a State Organization
with central headquarters there Is provided the
means for clubs and Republicans generally 10
uniforms, political data, statistics. literature
etc, aud pleasant rooms which Republicans can
visit when Ia San francisco. A general State
Republican fraternity spirit Is built up among
"league men," evidenced by the league bnttOn
1t should be plainly understood That league
clubs are just the same as all clubs heretofore in
the STATE. Ii strives Only 10 have more OF them
There are no distinguishing features, names, BIZ.
laws, pledges, etc. The Slate League has no
directing or interfering powers with clubs; each
preserves Its individuality and bears the same
pl al eli In n n
tees that has existed heretofore.
The Republican League of California cordlslJv
Invites every Republican club OF the state 10
join and participate IN ITS advantages and man
agement, and believes that such action viii
prove absolutely satisfactory and productive OF
good results.
