Club to Be Formed.

Manchester N. H, Dec. 11.-(SpeciaD
Congressman John A. Peters of the
Third Maine district, whose election
to office was the first rebuke to the
Wilson free trade administration, has
consented to address the Republicans
of Hillsborough county. this state, at
the meeting to form a county club,
which will be held here Dec. u. When
the campaign which resulted in the
election of Mr.. Peters was on, candi-
dates against him received the endorse
ment of the President of the United
States and of an ex-President of the
United States. Several cabinet off,
GERS and the speaker of the National
House of Representatives were thrown
into the fight TO defeat him. 1t was
pointed out at that time that Mr.. Pet
ers, as a member of Congress, would
be a national figure. The prediction
has been proven a good one. No new
member of Congress ever took his seat
with the spot light turned so full up
on him. He has been in constant de-
mand for addresses at political, Soc
ial and fraternal gatherings.
The Manchester Daily Mirror and
American in announcing the consent of
Mr.. Peters to speak at the coming Re-
publican get together meeting, says:
"rhe securing of Congressman John
A. Peters of Maine, to speak in this
city on the 18th. on the day of the
meeting of the Hillsborough county
Republicans for the purpose of organ
iZing a county club, was a master
stroke. He should be given a most
enthusiastic greeting
Congressman Peters is young
man. He is full of enthusiasm and he
has displayed great wisdom and judg-
ment He stands for what the Mirror
believes to be the only proper thing at
the present time to rehabilitate the Re-
publican party. He demonstrated that
it could be successfully worked out by
the result he was so Instrumental in
bringing about in Maine.
He is wise and broad enough to
know that the Republican party Is the
medium through which the mistakes
and fallacies of the Democratic party
can be corrected, and that the conttnu-
alton of third party In the field
means the foisting upon the state and
the nation a repetition of what we are
now passing through.
He sounded the bugle call of get
together down IN Maine, to all who
were opposed to the common enemy,
and the Republicans of all factions re-
spondcd and victory resulted, and in
consequence the party down in that
state is once more happy, peaceful and
contented. His appeal was to no fac
ton or clique. He believed the Repub-
lican party was big enough for every
body.
THE organization of the Hills
borough County Republican club on
the 18th inst. should be made an event.
1t is time for those who want to rid
the state of the present incompetent
government to join hands and forget
the differences of the past. Every Re-
publican, young and old, should give
the movement his active and earnest
support. There is work enough for all
to do. There is no reason why the club
should not start off with an enthusi-
asm that spells nothing but success
and victory. The time Is ripe for such
an organization, and in getting Con-
gresham John A. Peters of Maine,
here those who are in charge Of the
movement have secured just the man
needed to inaugurate the club and
blaze the way. Republican doctrine as
expounded by Mr.. Peters is just the
kind of medicine wanted to rejuvenate
and fill with loyalty and enthusiasm
the people of New Hampshire who are
dissatisfied and disguised with the
present management or affairs IN TINS
state"
