Wish each letter was enclosed an application for membership and a membership The purpose of the club, according to the membership card, Is "to promote and sustain harmony among Republican voters." Evidently things are not going so well in the stalwart ranks, for the special purpose of promoting "harmony' a'mong their own group.

Nothing is said about the political principles of the organization, in the I'leraturc sent out, except that It is "Republican." There are no dues but headquarters arc maintained in the St. Charles Hotel at'Mllwaukee, end a special offer is made in the letter you may have with your friends."
