PoIitIcai Club Influences.


4 good part of the great Republican pre-
ponderance in Pennsylvania is due to the
fact that the Republicans have fostered
and promoted Republican clubs and assoc
Citations everywhere, while the Democrats
have permitted existing clubs to die out
and have failed to establish and maintain
new ones. The social instinct is very
strong in young men. and If young Demo-
Gratis have % visit Republican clubs to
find fellowship it IS not surprising that
they drift away frcIa the political faith Of
their fathers a Democratic club, with
open doors all the year round in every
country town or village. would not only
hold the young men Of Democratic parent
age to The Democratic faith, but would at
tract TO it numbers OF young men OF Re
publican antecedents. who. disgusted with
Republican suhservieney TO Imperialism
and the trusts. are looking for political
affiliations which stand fer the-eauge CT
