The secretary OF the National Repub-
lican League sends congratulations to
West Virginia and urges immediate at.
tention to league work in this state.
The INTELLlGRNcER commends to the
faithful the sensible letter OF Secretary
Humphrey.
Clubs already in existence should get
to work actively to increase their mem
bership and to give to the regular par
ty machinery all the aid they can. This
theycan do by trying to get on their roll
and into active work every Republican
in their respective localities.
1t ia very desirable to have headquar-
tiers where the club may meet once a
week for the discussion of questions OF
the day and OF matters Of interest to the
neighborhood. AT very little expense
such club room may be maintained
and supplied with good reading. Where
there is no club in the neighborhood
one should be organized at once and the
work begun. These clubs can easily be
made pleasant aud profitable through
the winter.
II the club idea be carried out, as it
can be, the West Virginia league will
exert in the next campaign tremen-
dous power on the side Of protection.
1t has already done much good. The
ISrELLld ENCER knows that it is capable
OF doing more, aud Tor that reason
urges that no effort be spared to work it
up to the highest and most sorviceable
mint.
