Result Of Campaign.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION AIN
oIeott Payne OF New York Tells 81
what Has Been Done In state
aad of the Future OF
the wsrk.

The movement toward the organization
OF republican clubs throughout the country
headed By John Hays OF Mass

out the west.
Nj OIcott Payne. a New York business
man who IL SO interested In republican sue
cess that he is giving his time to the league
work. has been here from headquarters for
several days. Speaking OF the work he
said
The League Of Republican Clubs has
been In existence for some years, but It's
leaders in Nebraska are men OF many IN
terests and their time has been so much
taken up with other matters that they
we're unable 20 give the league movement
the time and work necessary to maintain
the interest in the organization between
Campaigns.
The work in the state has now been
taken up BY a group OF patriotic men OF
Omaha who are believers in republican
principles. and they are putting into Il such
energy that Il Is evident that this state Is
not going TO be behind the other states in
having a large body OF republican clubs
| affiliated with the national organization.
Before the end OF the month every town in
the state OF Nebraska will be visited by
them.
The work has been endorsed by the
state and the Douglas county central COM
mittees. This organization work in Ne
braska is under the direct charse Of Frank
lin 4. shotwell as state organizer. and he
now has five assistant organizers covering
the state. More than twenty five new clubs
have been brought into the league during
the last week. including the following:

TWELFTH WARD UP AND COMING
Large Number Out to Attend Repub-
Hean Meeting.

The Twelfth Ward Republican club held
a rousing meeting at its hall on Anes ave-
nue. and Twenty-fourth street Saturday
night. The l~iveliest enthusiasm prevailed,
indicating that republicanism in North
Omaha Is at high tide.
The principal speakers were Carl Herring
and H. II. BAIdrige. though several Of the
candidates were also present and made
short addresses. T. A. HOLSTER. candidate
for county attorney on the republican
ticket. was the first speaker. He eounselled
unwavertns loyalty OF all republicans to the
entire ticket and prophesisd its triumphant
election.
Carl Herring made a speech that was
given frequent applause for its many tell
ing points. He gave a host Of reasons why
he was a republican. which he thought
were good enough for anybody. The re-
publican party Is q party with a reputation
for doing things" said Mr., Herring. and
its past reputation is a sufficient suaran-
tee for its future. Every good citizen
should vote with that party which best
preserves the equilibrium between busines
interests and socialism. The republican
party is the only party which can do this.

We have ever had and its policies should

speeches or impracticable theories The
speaker put in a good word for Mr.. Hol-
lister and spoke highly OF his qualifications
as a lawyer. OF his honesty and integrity
and felt assured that Mr.. Hollister would
make q first class county attorney and
should receive every republican vote in the
county.
William P. wappich. candidate for tbs
