Chairman {. c. AIleman of Repub.
IiCan City Committee Calls
q Meeting Of the Party
TO DECIDE ON PARTY POLICIES
Republicans To Meet on Next Friday
Evening To Talk Over Plans and
Candidates for the Coming
Municipal Campaign

| Edward G. Alleman, formerly Alder
man Of the fourth ward, and Chairman
of the Republican City Committee, is
making an effort to stir up some en-
thusiasm in the coming municipal camp
align and to this end he is sending out
today letters to the leading Republicans
Of the various wards of the city asking
them to attend meeting to be held
at Carpenters Hall on next Friday
evening at which time an effort will
be made to form strong Republican
organization to take up the work Of the
coming city campaign. This meeting
is not in the way of a committee meet
| ing but rather an experience meeting
at which the party leaders will be asked
! to express their opinion as to the men
and issues to be taken up by the party
for the Municipal campaign. Chairman
| Alleman has found a new way Of
reaching the hearts Of the Republicans
and it is thought that the meeting will
result in q united party facing the enemy
in the coming city campaign AS yet
no steps have been taken to select men
to be placed on the Republican City
ticket and Chairman Alleman hopes to
have some expression from the party
| leaders at the meeting. The plan Of
this meeting is to provide for the or
ganization of an effective working cam
paign organization and to select the
men in the different wards who not
only have an interest in the party y
welfare but who will turn up their
sleeves and get out and work for the
success Of the ticket decided upon
The meeting is for all Republicans
and all are invited to attend. It would,
of course, be impossible to send letters
to all the republicans who are expected
to attend but the plan of sending a few
letters was decided upon as an effective
way of advertising the meeting.
Mr. Alleman is candidate for the
Republican nomination for Mayor but
this meeting is not in support of his
! candidacy and he declares that should
the majority Of the party express an
opinion in favor of some other can
didate he will be ready and willing to
retire from the field and become one
Of the workers in the ranks for the
man selected by the party as its stand
ard bearer. The letters which are
going out this evening are as follows:
Kenosha, Wis, Jan. Is, 1908.
Dear Sir:-This letter is sent to
you as one Of the Republicans of this
City, to invite you to attend mass
meeting Of Republicans to be held at
| Carpenter Hall, Park Street, on the
Oath day of January, 1908, at 500 PM
The coming Municipal Election is
but short way off. The chances of
a sweeping Republican success at the
polls are exceedingly bright if the right
men are placed in nomination and the
campaign is waged from now on with
the same ardor that our friends. the
enemy, are exhibiting. This meeting
j is called for the purpose of getting
the expressions of yourself and all re
preventative Republicans as to who are
the best men to be placed in nomination
for the various city and ward Offices
and to organize an effective campaign
committee and corps of workers
Do not fail to attend this meeting
and be prepared to express yourself as
to the merits and qualifications Of the
different men who will be suggested
