Since that time the members have done good work for the party. They have kept their headquarters open day and night, and have held weekly meetings addressed by prominent men, in the midst of a campaign that was very dyll. Tt may be fairly said that the Quar- ter Century Republican Club has done more effective work in its own quiet way than any other organization in the city. The membership of the club 18 taken from among the leaders of the party in State as well as Oakland politics. Charles. N. Fox, the president, has been Supreme Justice of the Stage. ' Of the vice presi- dents W. Spaulding has been the United Btates Sub-Treasurer in San Fran- elsco and has been Mayor and Couneil- man of Oakland; J. M. Haven has always been a leader ini the fignt for good gov- ernment in Oakland; Gies H. Gray pure politics leader and School Director of Oakland; Harry N. Morse was the first Sheriff of Alameda County: A. C. Henry, ex-Mayor of Oakland: A. W. Bishop, the secretary, was president of the Oakland City Council, and, Frank H. Brooks, the treasurer, is (‘fl*hler of the California Bank of this ci Most of these men are ploneers of the State. Many came in the days of *49 and were Whigs before the Republican party was organized. These are the real “Lin- coln Republicans,” and not the brand that is being talked about by the Democratic orators. They have always been Republi- cans through long and useful lives, and ‘h?\ have now united for the benefit of the party of their choice, giving the ser- vice of their age as loyally as they gave the service of their youth.
