Club No. There was rousing, enthu-
siastic organizing meeting in the Thirty
sixth District in Twin Peaks Hall, at the

to eight of the district.
1t was one of the most successful open
ings of any club in the City. The best
element of the district was present at the
hall, and before 10 o'clock about IT'S had
signed the roll.
The meeting was opened by County

Mckinley and Hobart and will be known
as Republican Club No. l. place as tenn
porary chairman William G. Johnson"
Mr.. johnson took the chair. Ee said
that he had been in the district when
there were only 200 votes in it. There
were now more than 5000 votes. "If we
take hold of this issue in the right spirit, -
he said, I'VE will surely carry our end of
the district Republican. But politics
must have no sectional basis. 1t must be
wide enough to carry all religions.
"In this spirit have no doubt but that
we shall see Mckinley as our next Presi-
dent"
1t is expected that at least 600 names
will be on the roll by next Saturday night,
when the club meets for permanent organ

come over to the Republican party and
have signed here the roll tonight.
Tonight it was perfectly apparent that
there was no cut-and-dried programme.
No bossism was back of it at all.
"The bone and sinew of the Repu bill
cans of Eureka Valley were with us to-
night" said A. Dawson. II am convinced
that we will make a good showing"
MIR. Dawson is an old standby Republi-
can. He has been with the party for
twenty years, and stayed with it. as he says,
through thick and thin.

Union Iron Works, was last campaign on
the State Central Committee and is known
