From sixty TO seventy members OF the
republican club met in the city hall
Saturday evening and expressed them
selves very freely upon the political sit
uation. Geo. r. Farmer, Esq, president
of the club thanked the members for
electing him president during his
absence and hoped the club would be
effective in the campaign. He believed
they were organized to give strength to
the republican party and the republican
cause and not to aid the candidacy OF
any individual ON the ticket:
Members of the club we're then called
anon and ia response many enthusiastic
speeches were made. DR.. A. u. Clough
was anxious TO see the party successful,
especially the state ticket as by our vote
ON it our standing in future state coun-
ellis OF the party would be rated. He be
Leyed in an actual speaking campaign
throughout the county and was deslrous
OF knowing what the central COMMITTEES
had for them TO do. +,
Hon. r. q. McCallister expressed 10y
atty to the cause and ticket and also be-
Heyed in securing good results from Q
school house campaign.
DR.. y. M. Duff while endorsing the
idea Of public meetings throughout the
county would 60 still farther and con.
duct a campaign from house to house,
from man to man. Personal appeal and
argument were worth q great deal.
D. ID. Holdridge, Eco, believed with
the president that d campaign OF princi-
pie was The keynote 81 the situation.
We should be politicians in the highest
-sense--in the sense Of studying political
and economic questions 10 the light Of
the greatest good to the Ieople 8 9
whole and that the individual should
be lost sight OF in the party. Parties
govern or control the policy Of the ma
tion and q man should belong TO some
party. He believed in belonging to the
best party and hence belonged to the res
publican party. He had voted with it
for SO years and believed it the party Of
the people today. He believed in the
minority yielding acquiescence TO the
verdict or the majority in party matters
and all work tremendously together
for the success OF the party and it's prin-
ciples.
CD. Porter, Esq. believed it was the
duty OF ell 70 unite and carry the repub-
lican ticket and it, principles to o sue
cessful issus. The opportunity was
great ~ present the virtues Of republic
canism and the campaign should be
started Of ono There were republicans
enough Ia Lake county to carry the
election against both the other parties
combined Il they were only gotten out
and he believed in going after them. He
wanted q live school house campaign.
Messrs. Gulstine, Preston, Patterson
and other speakers followed in the Same
enthusiasts strain and in other details
which were all suggestive and full Of en-.
enlargement and the meeting closed by
the club appointing q committee consist
ing OF Messrs. Clough, Porter and Gull
stine, TO consult with the county execu-
tive committee ON a line of campaign to
be adopted.
