4 MERICAN REPUBLICAN
\ COLLEGE LEAGUE

One Of the most unique organizations
connected with the educational system
Of the city is the American Republican
College League.
The young man In politics is nothing
new. But for them to commence while
college students to take an active inter-
est in the political affairs of the coun-
try and work like veterans for the sue
cess Of their party In the field Is some
what novel.
Such Is the aim Of the American COL
lege League. This organization strives
to interest all college students and
graduates in the principles of the Re-
publican party, and to work actively for
its success in the field. 1t claims that
while many Of its members are not en-
titled to vote yet, they can neverthe-
less be Of much service to the party In
various ways. AS the constitution Of the
leaghe states, the object of the organiza-
tion Is to arouse college men to take an
active interest In the practical adminis-
tration of popular government; to pro-
woke discussion and investigation Of
politico economic questions; to aid in
securing uniform legislation favorable
to the gaining of legal residence by
student voters at the seat of their edu-
cational institutions: to organize clubs
in the colleges of the United States for
the purpose of advocating. promoting,
and maintaining the principles of Re-
publicanism as enunciated by that party.
Proud of Their Record.
From that time to his death William
Mckinley was one of the best friends Of
the organization and took a deep and
fatherly interest in its affairs.
President Roosevelt is also said to be
a great admirer of the league and is one
OF the members of the advisory commit
tee.
The coming campaign is attracting
much attention of the members and they
are already working energetically. in
Ohio the State central campaign COM
mittee has recognized the usefulness Of
the organization to reach the young men
and has given it quarters in its admin
istration building and printed much Of
