To the wings OF Ohio.
The time has come when the Wings Of Ohio
must begin 10 organize for the approaching Pre-.
sidential contest. Our brethren in other States
are BlTeady moving. by the appointment Of De.
legales TO The Wing NaIional ConV enIion, which
will meet some time in June next-iI is hoped

the Wings Of the Western and Southwestern
States. The anniversary Of the birth OF Wash.

Ohio Wings, and coincideni with the battle Of
Buena Vista, where the lamenied Taylor sue
cessluily conlended SgsiES more fearful odds
Than we have now to encounter, seemed most
appropriate TO the Commiuee 10 call upon the
Wings Of the State TO sand by their arms, aud
commence Immediately the work Of organiza.

as they were then, il the ele-ien,s Of success
be only properly put in Potion, A WhiU Pre-.
siden1 was elected in '49 withou, the helm Of
Ohio; and in this Sia,.e we should learn wisdom
10 me ensuing cN..rsest from the conduct OF our
opponents al,.er the election OF 1910, who, tho
beaten as badly then as we were last October,
lmshedialely rallied like men resolved TO con-
quer, and carried The SIaie the next year. The
full Wing vote of Ohio has never been poled
since 1914, aud at no lime since have our op.
ponenis ever come up 10 that vote, but elected
their State officers by less vote than they poll
ed in 1914, when they were beaten nearly 6000
votes. Let the Wings Of Ohio AROUSE, and
bring to the POLLS the 10000 voters that have
ABsENrED themselves Of late years, and OHIO
will again resume her position, in the victorious
Wing column in 1859.
