! four languages. The State League acts as
distributor for the National League, the
matter being of the highest order. About
100, 600 documents have been circulated up
/ TO date, besides several thousand posters,
] stickers and campaign buttons. The
league has also received large conslgn-
ments of literature from sound money
leagues of the Middle and Eastern States.
This matter has been very effective In the
way of controverting and exposing the
fallacies of the free-silver orators.
One of the most effective pieces OF work
done by the league was the publication OF
the circular issued by the American Mer-
chant Marine Association showing that
its president, Arthur Sewall, favors the
Republican protective policy. This circu-
lar was printed in large quantities in the
East and caused big sensation.
Arrangements are under way to organ
iZe Re publican clubs in all the universities
of the State upon the National League
plan. Stanford, the State University and
the University of Southern California al
ready have enthusiastic, prosperous clubs.
The following paragraph, recently writ
ten by William Mckinley. gives his esti-
mate of the National Republican League,
and should stir up the enthusiasm of
leaguers in all parts of the United States,
namely: 1.-THE coming campaign is to be
re-eminently one of education, and there
has never been in the history of parties in
the United States any such potent agency
for the dissemination of political informa-
ton as the National Republican League.
The league has always, since its organiza-
tion, been to the forefront of the battle,
and l know that this year it viii come up
to the full measure of its duties.

State League in this City there is no
reason why the party should not be put
ting q winning fight in every town and
precinct throughout the State.
The National League plan has been in
active operation for many years in all the
Eastern States, and the late convention of
Republican clubs at Milwaukee was one of
the most important political gatherings of
the year. 1t was this organization which
brought General Clarkson, Henry Clay
evans and many other Republican leaders
to the front and the younger element of
the party to see in it means of making
themselves tower of strength in the con-
test for the supremacy of Republican
principles.
The Republican party of California, in
convention at Sacramento on February 5.
1886. paid the following tribute to the
value OF permanently organized clubs:
We. iDdorse the work of the National
League and the efforts of the young men
Of our party to make vigorous and success
ful campaign in this State.
The officers IF the California organiza-
ton have successfully started league or
ganizations in the seven Congressional
districts of the State. These district
leagues have in turn organized many
county leagues. Where it was found inn
pfaCLlcaOle 10 organize county leagues
local clubs have been formed. Los An
geles, Alameda, Sacramento and Santa
Clara counties have large and prosperous
county leagues or federations. These
county organizations have proven very
effective in many ways, but especially in
making plans for public meetings and
entertaining the speakers of the party.
There are about 7G0 Republican clubs in
the State, many of them uniformed and
With their OWN drum corps. Never be-
fore in the history of California has there
been such an interest displayed in club
work. Speakers are being sent out by the
score. and thousands of copies of sound
money documents are being put into the
hands of the voters of the State.
The National Republican Committee
has recognized the splendid services of the
National League, has created a club de-
partment and placed the National secre-
tary, Colonel III. J. Dcwling, in charge.
In this State the central committee has
done everything possible for the advance
ment and efficiency of the State League,
and the relations between the two organi-
cations have always been most cordial.
The headquarters of the California State
League is located in the Stowell block, on
South Spring street, in this city. Here are
the offices, the mailing department, library
and storage rooms for campaign literature.
Here, packed in neat bundles, are nearly

SAYS ITS FOR THE BEST.
Jerry Simpson Thinks it Was Best
That Bryan Was Defeated, Yet
is Sorry.

Wichita, Nov. 11-Congressm elect
Jerry Simpson came to the city yester-
day from Medicine Lodge. Asked how
he felt over the election results. he said:
II feel that the very best thing has
happened. I grieve over the defeat of
Mr.. Bryan, of course; but for the future
cannot get over the conviction that it
is best as it is. My reason for thinking
so can be stated in a few words There
are a great many people in this country
who have come to believe that a high
prOtectiv tariff. increased taxation, and
a gold standard will bring prosperity.
They will now have a chance to demon
strate the truthfulness of their PROPOSE
ton.
My private opinion is that they will
fail in the attempt. / hope they will
have an extra session Of congress and
that they Will give us another Mckinley
bill. I also desire that our people if
they have q majority in the senate, will
not Interfere to defeat it, but give them
full control. The Republican party
ought to be given a chance now to dem
onstrate its theories, and let the people
see how they viii work.
Il look for a. little squirt of better
times now that the election is over The
Republican party is composed of the
moneyed men of the country. and in
order to make their predictions and
promises good they will put out their
money and start factories. but they will
not remain open very long unless the
people who are expected to consume
their products have the money with
which to buy them. There is no propo-
sition coming from the Republican par
ty that viii result in better prices for
farm products, without which there can
be no permanent prosperity.
The Republican party commences at
the wrong end to make permanent. pros
perity. You will remember a few years
ago, when there was plenty of money
brought to Kansas, we had a boom Men
went out on these western prairies and
built towns and they grew and prosper
ed while the money lasted. After
time the money was gone and they had
to depend on the farmers to bring it
back. There We're no farmers there
and the result was that the towns col
the wrong end. A prosperous farming
community can build up a good town.
put a town cannot make a prosperous
farming community
That is just what the Republican
party now proposes to do. Commence
at the wrong end to build prosperity
Ihe Republican party proposes to tax
the people in order to make the mills
and factories prosperous in the belief
that these esta Adjustments in turn will
make the farmers prosperous. If all
the farmers in this country We're pros
porous they would buy more goods and
keep the factories humming: but nrOs-
porous factory owners viii not give the
farmers any more money to buy the
output of the factories AS I said be
fore, they are commencing at the wrong
end.
4 will be ready to go to congress if
MI Mckinney calls an extra session and
Will work for the free coinage OF sill
yer. MY candidate for president in 1900
IS William Jennings Bryan, the greatest
man in America today. and I shall work
to that end"
