RENEWED ACTIVITY
AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUAR
TIERS IN BEHALF OF WATERS
C0L0RED REPUBLICAN CLUB
The Cause Requires Special Attention
Ferd Rule for Chairman Of the
City Committee

As the state and county campaign draws to
close, the Republican committees, leagues
clubs, etc.. are apparently making an effort
such as might be made by drowning man
IN his endeavors to clutch straw. At the
Hollenbeck hotel, wherein are located the
state, district and county headquarters of
the 6. o. p, Autographs and pamphlets are
being sent out by the ton, and the scene of
activity seems to center in the congressional
district headquarters.
Whether the leaders in charge of Hon. r.
j. Waters campaign have discovered q spe-
cial reason for deeming his cause needful of
unusual attention, is hard to say, but certain
it is that the edict has gone forth for such
course of action. The campnign oratory
OF Frank Dominguez, who resigned city
position on Thursday to take the stump,
will be directed toward the recovery of Mr..
Waters fast fading prestige, and another
speaker who is conversant with the Spanish
tongue will soon start out on tour OF the
district for the purpose of lining up the
voters OF Spanish nativity. In addition to
that, autographs of the man who achieved
such notoriety with his "slop-bucket" speech
are being sent out by the thousands and
every household will probably be in receipt
of one.
The headquarters of the Republican fed
Grafton of clubs are equally busy, they hav-
ing been charged with the responsibility OF
the county tickets success in the city. A
meeting Of representatives of the fourteen
organizations which compose the federation,
was held yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose Of perfecting the organization. It was
decided that tent, with an emphatic under
standing that it should be a "tent," and not
a. "wigwam," shall be placed in tile field for
the purpose of making ward canvass One
or more speeches will be made in each of
the wards in the city.
The Republican city central committee.
which meets today, is understood to have
agreed upon the election of Ferd X. Rule
as it's chairman.

In the Times Of yesterday morning ap-
