STATE LEAGUE OF
REPUBLICAN CLUBS
HARMONIOUS CONCLUDING sEs-
SION AT PHILADELPHIA.
Chairman Babcock, of the Congress
sional Campaign Committee, Warns
Voters of the Danger That the
Democrats May Capture Congress.
Platform and New Officers.

.,y Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Sept. 1S.-Men promi-
nent in national politics were present
at the second days session of the an
nual convention Of the state League
of Republican clubs. Congressman j.
w. Babcock, of the Republican con-
gressional committee, delivered an ad-
dress in which he said the conditions
surrounding the present campaign de-
mand the utmost effort on the part of
all Republicans in every section in
order to organize the next house.
Mr.. Babcock contended that the dis
franchisement of Republican voters in
the South removed that section from
consideration, and that the success Of
the party largely depends on the re-
suit of the vote in the congressional
districts of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois. He said that the
election of Bryan would insure n
Democratic house of representatives,
but that McKinleys election would not
necessarily guarantee a Republican
majority in the house. "If we organ
ize the next house" concluded Mr..
Babcock, "the voters of New York and
Pennsylvania must do their duty"

parallel wires, binding continent to
