Sound advice. Wings. Organize

We have received letter from gentleman
long prominent in the Wing ranks in Vermont,
which conveys advice so excellent and timely
that we take the liberty to publish il entire The
writer is one whom experience and observation
have taught the value, nay the mdiSpenSaJicness
of a thorough organization in order to secure a
political triumph. We feel at liberty to say
that he is fully authorized to speak on such a
topic. No man contributed more to the noble
and universal organization of the Wing Party
in Vermont, which secured the triumphant vote
of 1910, than he and if the wise and con-ide-
rate conusels he gives below are needed, as they
ought to be, the Wing Victory in Vermont will
be scarcely less signal than in 1913.
We do not pretend to know what steps our
able State Committee are taking, in anticipa-
ton Of the coming Presidential Election, bun
