He said 'eThe convention seems to mark the l high step in the development of the 1 league. Let me declare emphatically my belief that if the work of the league embraces only the work of holding conventions the gathering clubs here and there, and the passing of resolu- l ttons and taking adjournments the leag- 1 ue will prove a failure While am al l the head of this great organization there shall be but one motto-hard | work, republican success. Republican | clubs to accomplish the greatest good | must maintain an active organization | throughout the entire year They must l increase the knowledge of republican | principles, render more stirring the en- thusiasm of republican workers The | republican party stands for all that is | best in our national history; it demands of it's government honest currency and l an honest tariff. It believes in the equal rights of all''
