In the early ZOOS the National Re
publican League was a factor in
lining up the young voters for the af-
frav OF 1896, whe the Republican
PARTY entered upon its present period
OF complete supremacy. 1t was then
that the standard of values was
threatened, public credit a been
lowered, labor vas unemployed, and
business prospects were sunk in the
general depression that followed the
manic OF 1893. There was ascall 20
arms and appeal o young men to
align themselves with the Republican
marty for he purpos OF re-establish-I
ing prosperity throughout the couE-
trv. and through the efforts OF the
league thorough organization was
brought about. The way was point
ed out to the young voter and he
followed the leadership OF those who
had proved their ability to direct
and administer the laws to insure
he greatest good to the greatest
umber From the ranks have come
the Roosevelts, the C~ortelyous. the
Hitchcocks. etc, who became n
| fed with the active work of the Re-
publican League, marching In llue
with those who believed in a consist
ent protective tariff for the uphutld-
ing OF American industries and en-
ployment of labor. There has been
no politics within the National Re-
publican League, other han a united
EFFORT to bring success at the polls.
When candidates are named by the
counties and states for Congress and
the presidency, and the differences
within the party ranks wiped out by
an endorsement of Republicans in
conventions assembled, or by prl-
mary elections as the case may be,
it Is then that the league gets onto
the skirmish line and does %efectual
work in campaign.
.'The National Republican League
is not dealing with the s~tand-pats,
the insurgents. the progressives, or
the i~ndifferents." said Secretary
Atherton. ut has to do with the
success Of party principles and plat
form when declaration has been
made. All Republicans To- alike
to it. Get busy is it's slogan. and
the detail of party work is its plat
form. It's ritual is the declaration
of the Republican party platform.
II 1t is worth the while to be a Re
publican at all 1t is consistent that
you get in touch with the league that
