The San Francisco call., 1896-07-02

Eleventh Ward, bounded by Eleventh,
Guerrero, Twenty-first and Harrison
streets, contains some of the best Repub-
licans in this City. as has time and again
been proven when their Democratic friends
threw down the gauntlet of party battle.
Who else could have defeated the
selected Democratic champions put forth
to do battle for the office OF Sheriff twice
In succession but a stalwarJ like c. S. Lau-
meister, who resides in this district? To
him and such as ex-Supervisor Micah
Doane and other popular and well-known
Republicans of the district do those young
men look for advice and counsel when a
hotly contested campaign is about to be
encountered. On such men experienced
to guloe the party to victory do the young
men OF this district rely for political in
struction when counsel becomes necessary.
To the young men not only of the
Th lrty-fourth District but throughout the
State and Nation does the Republican
party turn for perpetuation of the suc-
cess of the party. The old men with fixed
political ideas are interchangeable. There
are men in the Democratic party today
who honestly believe they are voting for
Andy Jackson and Sam Tilden every time
they go to the ballot box. But year after
year those honest old men are dropping
out and joining the leaders of their party
on the other side of the big river, where
there are no goldbugs or repeating at the
ballot-box. In their stead the young
native born, educated man votes the
ticket that will put that party in power
which will elevate the great masses of the
people, and he knows full well that that
party is the Republican party.
OF this class of thinking men are the
members of the Thirty-fourth District
Club composed. This club was organized
about six on.hs ago under the auspices
OF the Republican Executive Council of
California, with membership of $50,
which has steadily grown to its present
mem bership of 670. For this prosperous
condition credit must be given to Z. ].
Hurst. president; E. w. Eustice, secre-
tary; K. b. Bartlett, treasurer, and Charles
ID. Mayors, chairman of the executive
committee.
With those officers the following we'll

able assistance in bringing the club up to
its exalted position: s. NJ. Williams, Cord

this a committee consisting of e. b.
