nearly all of the other counties League

The League has made a particular
appeal to the young people of the
State, believing that the best interests
of the Republican party lie in recruit
ing to its ranks young men and women
coming OF age in order that the Party
may build for the future as we'll as the
present. AS means of enlisting the
young men and women, vast social
and athletic program was undertaken.
When the sandlot baseball season
opened in Baltimore last Spring six
baseball teams, clad in uniforms
bearing the insignia of the Republican
Party, the time honored elephant,

these games every Sunday afternoon
became conscious of the fact that the
Republican Party was taking a new
lease on life. Our Young Republican

the social side, dances, barbecues,
oyster roasts, crab feasts and other
forms OF social entertainment were
sponsored by Young Republican gather
ings all over the State. In order to
appeal TO the many sidedness ofhumar
interests, public speaking class, a
political discussion groupe, a glee club
and band were formed. The climax
of the first years activities was reach
ed in September OF 1888 when the FIRST
state wide convention OF the Young
Republican League was held In Balti

we're present and from each OF the
