Hebrew Political Club Considers Political
Candidates at Tonight's Meeting.

There promises to be hot meeting
of the Hebrew Political Club this even
ing, when the question of the endorse
ment of political candidates comes up
for consideration. AS in the years of
the past, the club will undoubtedly en-
dorse all the republican nominees, but
there will be a warm contest in the
matter of the endorsement of the can
didate for congress. John r. Thayer.
the democratic nominee, has large
following among the members of the
club, and he will probably receive the
endorsement of the political organiza-
ton, which has a strength of about 500
voters, and influences the vote of a
hundred additional

ing meeting, and at that time the club
voted to endorse delegates pledged to
Mr.. Thayer'S candidacy. Since then
the republican managers have put in
some strong work among prominent
Hebrews, with the hope that they could
turn the rising tide in favor of Mr.
Thayer. However, the latter's strength
is such at the present time and has
always been so great, that he will
probably receive the endorsement
of the Hebrew Political Club. The reg
ular republican nominees on the re-
publican ticket, with the exception of
Congressman Walker, will be endorsed.
