GreenVille Republican League
Club Refuses to Follow
Them Further

The Creenville Republican League Clup
held a meeting last evening and judging
from the enthusiasm displayed by the
members in singing patriotic songs, no
one would have thought that they mad
been defeated only the day before. Inc
ci,,h really had a new BIRTH last night,
as some of the members described u.
The club has decided to throw over tne
Republican bosses and run things on tneif
own hook. They will not abide by what
the so-called headers say and Will SUP
to no dictation from people OUTSIDE
of their own club. This much was fnaliy
decided upon.
The meeting was a decidedly interesting
one and there was much discussion over
the question whether the club shout stay
in the ranks of the party. The members
said that they were very much dissatls-
fed with the.way things were run by the
Republican bosses in this county and that
the club would never again work in har-
mony with the Republican party. In
other words the League would be an inde-
pendent organization and that the mem
bers would never work under the present
bosses in this county. This move by the
League CIu is not wholly a surprise, for
something of the sort was anticipated II
the party lost in the ward this spring.
There have been no cries of treachery or
underhand work as yet, and 1t is doubtful
if there ever will be any, for the League
people are going to work as If no Min
kakwa Club was in existence.
One of the member after the meeting
last night said that he for one was very
much dissatisfied with the turn affairs
had taken in the Seventh ward.
ssThere never will be a Republican VIC
tory in this ward until the present bosses
are kicked out of office" he said. The
| Republicans in this ward, or at least a
| good many of them, are voting the Demo-
cratic ticket simply because they are very
much satisfied with the present Demo
cratic government in this city. They are
very much in favor of Mayor Hoos' way
Of running affairs and will continue 10
vote the Democratic ticket as long as we
| get good government.
s.Our club is going to take about the
same stand. We will not work for a Re-
publican nominee unless he meets with
the approval of the majority of the mem
| bcrs of our club. If a Democrat is put
up that we think is a good man he is the
| person who will be endorsed by our club
! and for whom we will work. This ward
/ never will be a Republican one until we
have better men at the head of our party
in this county. We now realize how
| things stand and in the future thespeople
! NAV look for repeated Democratic VIC
tories"
When asked about the harmony agree
ment which was passed the two
clubs a short time 60, the gentleman
/ said
.sWe will go along just as if there was
no Minkakwa Club in existence, and we
will never abide by what that club does.
This election simply goes to show that
| the people are satisfied with the Demo-
cratic party in this city, and as long as
that party does what's right the people
| will stand by it in this ward"
When the meeting was over every mem
Der Joined in singing patriotic songs and
the majority seemed glad to break way
from the Republican party bosses.
