Formed for Doing Aggressive
Campaign WOrk--VaIue of SYs-
tematic Effort In Politics.
As fitting prelude to the republican
state convention tomorrow, the state
league of republican clubs held meeting
at the Olympia theater this afternoon and
agreed upon plans for furthering the in
terests of the candidates that will be
selected by the convention. The primary
object Of the league is to secure unity of
action among the various clubs scattered
through 1T the state by the publication
and circulation Of suitable literature and
in acting in concert along certain lines.
1t is really an auxiliary to the state COM
mittee, but is nowise under the control
and supervision of that body of officers.
The club has separate leaders, separate
rules and regulations, and occupies a
separate field of action in the same
general engagement. As rule its mem.
bership is made up from the young men
in the party, although the wise council
and mature experience Of older heads is
not ignored or rejected The league is
bership of over 1000. Hon. Ralph X.
Nichols is credited with planting the seed
that has matured into the present mag
nihcent array of political strength.
An attempt was made in 1888 to form the
state league at Yakima, but the Organiza-
ton brought into existence at that time
failed to meet the expectations of those in
the lead. Later the matter was revived at
Walla Walla, and the efforts then put
forth contributed in no small degree to the
successful formation Of the league at Ia
coma in 1890. The league started with
less than nine clubs, and its marvellous
growth is ample evidence of the high ap-
probation in which systematic effort In
politics is held by the republicans Of
Washington.
Many of the delegates to the league con-
ventiOn are also delegates to the state con-
ventiOn. In quite a number of instances,
however, separate delegations have been
sent. To quote the language of one who
kDows-"The object of the league clubs is
to create enthusiasm /" Noise and enthusi-
asm are SYNONYMOUS evidently, and acting
upon that proposition the Pierce county
delegation hired the Sons of Veterans drum
corps, of Tacoma, captured the special
train on the way down this morning and
made such an uprOar after their arrival
that all other clubs were temporarily for
gotten. They marched into the Olympia
hotel at l0:3O like cyclone on a pleasure
trip across Kansas prairie, and, after Civ
ing a number of lusty yells for "Doolittlep a
turned the drummers loose upon the town.
The delegates to the club meeting and to
the convention went into a star chamber
session in the smoking room and arranged
for the meeting of the afternoon.
Up to noon the arrival of delegates was
somewhat scattering, the Pierce county
delegation being as large as all others COM
bined. General Thomas III. Cavanaughr Il
president Of the state l99cue, and E. g.
krelder tie secretary, were prominent
characters in the rOtunda of the hotel.
Quite a number of the delegates had re-
tanned their credentials for presentation at
the convention, so that it was very diff
cult matter to ascertain the names of the
men entitled to seats in the league cOnven-
tion before the assemblage was called to
order. As obtained from the chairman
and members Of the various delegations
the names were as follows:
