Wig Central Committee.
PLAN OF ORG ANIZATION.
1 The County Central Committee. with
as many others as will make their number
equal to the number of Townships in the
County, should form themselves into a
Club.
9. Let each member of the Club take
charge Of Township, and organize it as
follows:
5. By appointing committeeman in
each School District
4. By making out. with the aid Of the
school district committeeman, list Of all
the voters in the township under the fol.
lowing heads: "Whig," "Loco, ""Doubt.
iul"
S. A few days previous (,he day before
if practicable) to the election, the school
district committeeman shoul! see each
voter and deliver to him two Wing tickets
enclosed in brief. spirited circular. urg
ing him to attend the polls.
6. Each school district committeeman
should be at the polls when open, and
check off from his list as they come in:
and at l2 o'clock. if there should be any
Wings absent. they should be sent for.
Convryances should be provided and in
readiness for this purpose.
7. Should there be any alien Wings in
the county who are entitled to their natu-
ralization papers, they should be aided in
procuring them.
s. Means should be adopted 10 procure
the attendance at the polls of all Wings
who may. from any cause, be unable to
attend without assistance.
In cities and towns the same plan Of
organization should be carried out. except
! that il should he done in wards and blocks
instead of school districts. and perhaps
the furnishing of tickets to voters previous
to the election might be dispensed with.
As an effective mode Of carrying out th'
foregoing plan Of organization, we sug
gcst the following:
The Club being formed as provided, l''
them meet at proper time to commence
operalions--say about four weeks previous
the elrcilon-and designate some one or
more of their number to draft the nece>
sary documents. to wit: An address or
circular for the school district committee.

and short circular for the Wing voters
Ii would also be well 10 detail man al

polls.
'rh. documents and tickets being print
ed. the Club should again meet. aud he
prepared with a sufficient number OF en-.
velopes, should go to work, aud put up o
the short circulars with two tickets in eacl
envelope. number sufficient Tor all the
wings in the county, and of the address
for school district committeeman embrac
ing number equal to the humber o
school districts in the county. i his being
done and every thing in readiness the
Club should agree upon day TO com.
menc~ the work OF organization.
AT the time agreed upon let each m"m

OF the documents containing the plan o.
organization and address. With his aid

ton. and direct to each Wing in his dis.
trict the circular containing two tickets
leaving with him few blanks to provide
for Wings that he may have overlooked
or that may come into his district before
the election. 1t will be of the utmost i'm.
portance that each school district commit

more forcibly done by personal interview
than by written documents.
