GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF OMAHA REPUBLICAN CLUB The Greater Omaha Republican club with a strong corps of well se lected officers Is a political organ ization of two years' existence es tablished for the purpose of promul l gating the tenets of republicanism with an organized activity compre hensive enough to include all per sons Interested in civic and political affairs throughout the city. The club is nominally and pri marily a partisan entity of the po litical faith known as "republican.” but beyond and above partisanism it purposes to hold to principles for which it shall exert supreme efforts to maintain and exalt, trusting, how ever. not inconsistent with its hopes and confidence, that within the scope of the purposes of the candi dates and the platforms of the party of its choice and name shall be known, expressed or understood this organization’s principles, cardinal among which shall be an equitable distribution of political and civic preferment among the classes of po litical suffrage. We hope that the women will avail themselves of this opportunity and attend the regular meetings and Join the club. SERGT ISAAC BAILEY. President. W. H. ROBINSON. Secretary. MRS.
