Seventh Ward Republicans
Preparing for Great
Things.
MARCHING CLUB FORMED
Trying to Revive the Corpse
With Mckinley and
Roosevelt En-
thusiasm.

Seventh Ward Republicans are preparing
for an active fall campaign. Under the
leadership of Mr.. Edward FRY they an
ticipate regaining the ward from their
Democratic opponents and to establish a
record for zeal and loyalty in the cause
of Republicanism. Already men who but
a short time ago eschewed political sub
jects congregate on street corners or any
convenient place and talk of the greatness
of Mckinley and Roosevelt and tell
strane tales about the wickedness of
everything Democratic. This rejuvenation
of the Republican party, so long dor
mant, is surprise to the Democrats, who
have been going along easily and COM
placently under the impression that there
was no more organized Republican party,
or at least party not strong enough to
be worthy of any great consideration.
But a portion of the enthusiasm of the
Philadelphia Convention has in some mys
terious manner reached the Greenwille sec
tion and has fired the Republicans with a
desire to do great deeds for their party.
Under these circumstances the Seventh
Ward Republican Association deemed it
wise to get together and devise means to
prevent a cooling of this Republican
ardor. After much thought the plan of
organizing campaign marching club was
decided upon, and SO in short time the
people will be treated to the edifyfng
spectacle of a Republican marching club,
arrayed in all the splendor of uniforms.'
With Mr.. William e. Reed, of Grant
Club fame, in the chair last night the
meeting could not help but be enthusi-
astic. With Mr.. Fry to advise and to
maintain harmony the meeting progressed
smoothly. The first step towards organ-
izing a marching club was to make the
various Republicans clubs of the ward
feel that they were of some importance
to the party and that they were of some
political significance. Mr.. Fry's knowledge
of Republicans, gained in the County
Committee, which is composed of many
different kinds and types of men, is OF
great value in managing minor bodies of
Republicans, which are oftimes seeking
diversion in the snaps of political scraps.
The Ward Association, consisting of six
teen members, the officers of the three
ward clubs, and the chairmen of the cam
paign committees of each club, will con-
stitute an executive committee to formu-
late plans and carry on the campaign
work "A marching club to be called the
Greenville Mckinley and Roosevelt Cam
paign Club will be organized, in which as
many Republicans as desire to parade will
be enlisted Great things are expected OF
this club the least of which is to make
Democrats see the error of their ways
and cause them to join the Republican
ranks
At meeting to be held next friday
night at Columbia Hall officers will be
elected Books will be provided and dis
tributed among the members, who will
maintenance of the Campaign military or
ganization Banners and transparencies
bearing the likenesses of Mckinley and
Roosevelt will play an important part IN
the campaign and will be placed in con-
sp5cuous places.
