said. at the close of the meeting, TO a
reporter:
"On October 10, 1897, this club was
organized as permanent organization.
and has grown steadily to the present
time. In the last city election the
club took an active interest and dem
onstrated to the public that in union
there is strength. After that battle
had been fought and won, instead or
disbanding, as many political clubs
do. this one, through the efforts of its
members. was held together from that
time to the present, holding regular
weekly meetings.
Now comes the time when we are
called upon again to do battle for the
grand old Republican party, and II all
the Republican clubs in the State Will
get out and work as will the Third
Ward Republican Club has worked, on
the Sth of next November the success
of the whole ticket will be assured.
1--WE desire to see the State of Cali
fornia redeem herself at the coming
election and roll up a handsome major
ity for Henry T. Gage for Governor
and our club promises to work hard to
help swell this majority to what 1t
