FOR HOME RULE.
Mr.. Parker InslOrsed by the Mckinley
and HObnrt Club.


and Hobnrt Club.
regular meeting of the Mckinley and
Hobart Republican king Club was held
at Israel Church last night, with Mr.. r. d.
Ruf11n. president, in the chair. and with
Rev. Thomas H. Gibson. secretary
A resolution was unanimously adopted
respectfully calling the Presidents atten-
ton to the home rule and praying and be-
lieving that he will adhere to this plank in
the platform on which he was nominated
and elected. The resolution further set
forth that there is no city in the country
that exerts a greater influence over the
voters in the various states than the city
of Washington. 1t also sets forth that
during the last campaign the representa-
tive of the national republican committee
raised nearly s1O0.O0O to aid in the repub-
lican campaign, and in addition to that the
republicans of the District spent nearly an
other 100000 in sending speakers to the
various states and distributing campaign
documents. and in keeping their clubs to-
sether for the benefit Of the grand old
party. For this and many other reasons.
the resolutions say, I'VE trust that the
home rule may be adhered to. and that
Col. Parker may be appointed as marshal
of the District as part of the recognition
for the grand services performed"
A resolution was also unanimously
