THE AUGUST ELECTtON-ORGAN-
- s# Fzsg IZATION. So
Not much has YET been said by the peo-l
pie, in any portion of the State, in relation
to the next August election. They have
been busily engaged in the pursuit of their
various avocations, some ofthem with view
of relieving themselves from embarrassments
which have been for years resting upon them
and others, 10 lay up something for the
future. This course is highly commendable,
and whilst thus engaged, though there has
4 been no outward manifestation of interest,
We doubt not, an ardent desire is felt, on the
part of the Wings, TO again do battle in be-
half of what they esteem to be the true in
terests of the country. When the proper
time arrives Tor action. they will go into the
canvass with an energy greatly accelerated
by tho repose which they have enjoyed.
That they may more efficiently bring their
full strength to the polls, we submit, wheth-
crit is not nov time to adopt some system of
organization which will have such result
Heretofore, the Wing party of our State has
been at fault in this respect. We have re-
lied loo much on large mass-meetings,
whilst the remote neighborhoods were neg
lected. Means should be adopted TO place
before every man the opportunity of form
ing correct political opinions and to con-
vince them of the importance of their
maintenance at the polls
To do SO, organizations should be so minute
as 10 reach every school district in the State.
This may be accomplished with less labor
than at first might be Supposed. 1t wants
only the active exertions OF few in each
district 10 give it start and they will soon
have host of gallant and ready hands to help
them in carrying itoul. For years our OPP
ponents have been able by such means, TO
vanquish US, although they were in actual
minority. The secret of their success is,
that they don't forget to be at the polls on an
election day. Why not benefit ourselves by
the experience of the past?
Another means of success, which we
wish 10 impress upon our friends, is, the prop
er selection Of candidates for the various Of
fees. The mode adopted for making such
selection ought to be such as to give gener-
al satisfaction. In all instances the best,
most capable, and strongest men should be
brought forward, and, when nomination is
made, every Wing ought to resolve for him
self that every honorable means shall be
adopted to sustain ii. II is important 10 bear
in mind that every dssention in regard 10
candidates, no matter how unimportant
the office TO be filed, will effect our Gdber-
material ticket. This, can, and by all means
should be avoided.
We assert, with a confidence which we
have not before felt since our defeat in IA
that it is within the power ofthe Wing party
ofthis State TO again place il in the proud
position of being rank ed among the Wing
States of the Union. Thousands of those
who, in 1914 cast their votes against the
Wing candidate for the Presidency, did so
under the influence of prejudices which can
have no bearing on their action in the ap-
preaching election Others have been con-
WINGED that the proposed resusciation OF the
sub-treasury aud the destruction of the A
merican Tariff will have an injurious effect
on the prosperity of the country, and will
evince such conviction by voting against
those who are the advocates of policy so
Iuinous.
These things considered, the Wing party
have only TO make little effort TO achieve
permanent ascendency in The State, and
which would be favourably felt in the next
Presidential election.
That this effort will be made, we do
not permit ourselves 10 doubt. To this en- d.
we ask the Wing Press in every portion of
the State to urge the Immediate adoption OF
such means as will most surely bring about
a result so much to be desired. 2
