The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1900-04-13

Bv their presence at Wilson hall. in the
Collins block, last night, and by the en-
thusiasrn they displayed. so Republicans
demonstrated their determination to WORK
heartily and Loyalty for the expressed Cd
jects Of the King County Republican CiuO,
which they formed.
In all the history OF Seattle and hlng
county there never was so large ana 80
thoroughly representative gathering OF
Republicans at the formation OF earn
paIgn club The seating capacity of the
hail was exhausted and many stood up.
II Is q conservative estimate that there
were 500 present. while the membership
roE shows more than that number.
Under such circumstances IT is not to be
wondered that the King County Repub-
lican club was given an suspicious chris
fening upon It's formation. The large num-
Der in attendance and the great interest
displayed in everything that was done, to-
gether with the harmony of wish and pur-
pose which was manifested, are TO be
taken properly as an augury of the good
work the club will do during the APP
preaching campaign.
Its main object is to center Republican
sentiment and Republican effort In Seattle
and King county on the purpose OF Sc
curing the representation II merits In the
affairs OF the state and national govern
ment- In the face of this great object
the Republican workers of the county, as
evidenced by their action last night nave
laid inside their differences, and are now
hound together by the purpose common, 70
all of placing the party organization In
this county I'm better shape than II mas
ever been. and then securing for the coun-
ty the consideration to which II Is en-
titled IN state politics.
At few frt~ntes after 3 O'Clock the
hall was well filled with Republicans rep
rosenfng every division OF the party.
Neary every prominent Republican wafd
worker In the city was present. while
there were scores Of business men who
take a lively interest IN politics, but who
are not known strictly az party workers.
These came to help along the cause or
good government and to do their part IN
organizing the party, In order that 1t might
take It's proFer place IN 1ne Gouncl,s oa
we're well exempliiied in the gathering,
while every branch Of business and manu-
featuring life was represented by men
whose names are familiar In almost every
household IN the city.
Mr.. Powell for Chairman.
Robert Moran called the meeting to or

were placed In nomination for temporary
chairman Mr.. Parry withdrew immedl-
ately after he was named, saying he would
prefer TO have Mr.. Powell selected to
preside The latter was thereupon unani
mously chosen, and took the chair.
Mr. Powell was received with a spon-
taneous burst Of applause. He said
ut Is truly an honor to be called upon
to preside AZ a gathering of so representa-
tive body of Republican citizens. The
number fn attendance here speaks well for
the efficacy OF a public call for meeting
such this, and augurs well for the
success Of the object for which we are
here. 1t indicates that the Republicans or
Seattle and King county are AT last In
