thereby affording the farmer boy who
has a horse or can obtain the use of
| one, an opportunity TO ioin n neighbor-
hood club and attend meetings, take
part In parades and otherwise assist
In behalf of the ticket The organiZa-
ton of such clubs, especially in the
country, will naturally have a tendency
to keep up enthusiasm in those dis
tricts, and the BOYS who belong to the
clubs will find that Il will come very
natural to them to assist ON election
day by going through their precincts
and urging the voters to come to the
polls. Clubs of this sort formed in
cities and towns NAV be mounted or
unmounted as best suits the convent
ence of the members. County commit
teemen should take this matter up at
once and see that organizations of this
sort are formed as soon as possible.
The use of a special constitution for
these clubs is not necessary; all that Is
needed Is to have the members sub
scribe to a statement agreeing to vote
and work for the ticket. The com
mittee will prepare constitutions and
have them ready TO furnish to clubs
desiring them at once, but any one can
draw up the needed agreement so
there should be no delay In waiting for
constitutions. While In Philadelphia
In attendance at the national Republic
an convention. Chairman Weaver took
occasion to visit the supply houses and
found that uniforms for Rough Rider
clubs would be ready at once and they
can be furnished clubs at a very low
price. The uniforms will be ready as
soon as the clubs are and the Repub-
lican state central committee will
answer any questions and furnish any
information required to club organiza-
lions in regard to ordering uniforms
or any other detail of organization.
Republican Glee Clubs.
The committee also asks Republic
ans In the various counties throughout
the state to organize glee clubs to take
part in the meetings to be held later
ON. This Is the year Of prosperity and
every one feels like singing, so that
| 1t will not be difficult to awaken an
| interest In these glee clubs. Then, too,
| Republican principles are of the sort
that dit to music and the glorious old
| tunes, America" The Star Spangled
Banner" and "Hail Columbia" ara,
/ especially proper for use ut Republican
meetings. There are also may lively
campaign airs which hit of the issues
of the day In an attractive manner and
when sung by a well trained club, win
add much to the interest of any polite
al meeting, There Is probably no town
or village In the state but what has
musical talent which could be utilized
In this way. The expense would be
light and the results certain and good.
The organization of these glee clubs
should be taken up Immediately SO
that when the speaking campaign Is
opened later ON the state of Iowa will
be one vast Republican chorus.
