BY practical means sucn as this votes
are easily captured. The workingman
reasons quickly enough that 4 campaign
that gives him work before election will
keep him employed afterwards; and en-
ployment with the very poor is the key
note for judging the political situation
Of the country.
Campaign guns are not of the sort
that can be fired off. They are OF pine,
stained to look like the weapons OF bat
tie. In the end is stuck flag like
bayonet. Others have transparency
mounted on the end. The gun is light,
out of regard for the carriers arm and
to one end is fixed hook, upon which
the colored lantern can be swung.
COST OF A CLUB.
The cost of getting up a campaign
club is so small that it is practically
nothing. A collection will inaugurate
the movement. A 10-cent cap, 10-cent
double swinging loren and lucent OIL
cloth cap set the ball rolling gayly.
Very fine felt coats and capes are
made for dress parade OF the clubs
that go out afternoons. A coat and
cape together cost as high as S.. But
it is possible to hire them, so 'all that
glitters is not gold" in every case
where you see elegance in the ranks OF
a campaign club The club may be
economizing to print circulars and may
be spending next to nothing on uni
forms. Great army boots we'll spurred
are worn by the mounted clubs, and
the horses are brave in flags.
A very neat little circular was carried
by hand last week TO the rooms OF all
the city campaign clubs. 1t reads like
this:
Frank Work, cleaner in general to
campaign clubs and TO the B Club in
particular solicits your patronage.
Army boots cleaned and oiled, cents;
oiled daily, cents; white duck leggins
cleaned with pipe-clay weekly, Z cents;
with magnesia, 10 cents; all other things
buckskin trousers cleaned with oatmeal,
s cents; white cloth trousers cleaned
strictly in proportion. Everything clean
ed dry. Can't shrink"
Nor is this the only industry con-
nected with the campaign club. The
work of assisting the warriors into
their capes and shakos is done by young
voters out of work. And the filing of
the torches, the fixing of the muskets
with flags or transparencies, and the
fitting of clothes that do not quite set
well upon the soldiers form, are all rel
egated to people who will be voters a
few weeks hence.
There is this about a marching cam
paign club. 1t is not dependent upon
political headquarters or upon individ-
ual patronage. 1t springs up by itself,
is self-supporting and carries on its in

a yellow vaistc0at and blue or black

well down over the brow. This is one
of the mos expensive uniforms, costing
less than 81.
The Whitney uniform. singularly
enough. embraces a silk hat. Many
clubs have this silk hat of oilcloth,
polished to look like the silkiest OF tiles.
With this goes a long-tailed coat, pair
of white duck trousers and a transpar-
ency announcing the name of the man
who will be in the White House the
next four years.

dependent political side-show in the
most admirably Independent manner.
There are thousands of these clubs
forming now. The members select uni
forms order it for the club, try it on, fill
torches and get ready to brave the
pavements for nights march. A band
must go along, and this band must be
uniformed in the same general tone as
the club, but gayer. The band wears
white shakos, costing fully 81 each; and
their flags float from their instruments
or are fastened on the gold epaulettes
that all bandmen must wear. White
duck, trousers. cleaned for them daily,
are part of the musicians uniform, and
though only twelve men or so march
in the band, their costuming is more
expensive than that of the whole club
of over 100 men. But the music is as
necessary as the transparency.
There lives no man with political soul
so dead that he has never Joined a
campaign club. and this year the low
price of uniforms brings the political
club within range of all who feel the
spark of marching patriotism.
