no WORK, TO WORK!

TO WORK! TO WORK!
Now that the Fourth of July has
passed and now that our State and
National tickets are both in the field
it is about time for us. to get ready to
go to work to elect them. We had
splendid send-of in VANCE and JARVIS
and when TILDEN and HENDRICKS
were added to the. team we got
strength to overcome every obstacle in
our path. But strength does no good
unless it is used. Nor can it be used
to advantage unless we all pull to-
gether. And we will not all pull to-
gether unless there is thorough organ
ization in the party and now is the
time to bring it about. That is the
work to do now.
The plan of organization of the Con-
seryative Democratic party is sim
pie one. In general terms there is
State Executive Committee, Con-
gressional District Executive Commit
tee, a County Executive Committee
and Township Executive Committee.
The State Executive Committee Is
appointed by the State Convention
once in four years. The Congressional
District Convention is appointed by
the Congressional District Convention
every two years. The County Execu-
tive Committee is appointed by the
County Convention every two years,
and the Township Executive Commit
tee is appointed by the members of
the party in the primary meetings in
their respective townships. In case,
however, none such shall be appointed
the County Executive Committee is
authorized to make suitable appoint
ments.
It will be seen from this that the
Township Executive Committees con-
stitute the basis of our organization,
and that upon the efficiency of their
members depends the efficiency of the
whole system.
The working of this machinery is
easy and simple, and can be under
stood at glance. IF there are docu-
ments to be circulated from Raleigh
the proportion for each Congressional
District will be sent to the Congress
sional Exc cutive Committee, by them
distributed to the several County Ex
ecutive Committees who in turn will
divide them cut among the township
Executive Committees from whom they
will at once pass into the hands of the
people.
If it shall be desired, as it will be
desired from time to time during the
campaign, to know how the popular
pulse beats in the State it will be very
easy to ascertain the fact If We have
efficient Township Executive Commit
tees. They would report to the Coun-
ty Executive Committee and the County
committee to the Congressional Com
mittee and that Committee to the State
Committee, SO that the party authorities
at Raleigh would have upon record a
report from every neighborhood
throughout the entire State.
This is the kind of organization that
is necessary to success. Let us go to
work then and see to 1T that the very
best men in the party in each town
ship are put upon the township E1-
ecutive Committees, men who will
work actively and constantly. men
who will never permit a neighSor to
to pass without urging upon him the
importance of every man doing his
whole duty in this campaign, men
who will keep = sharp lookout, for
frauds and fraudulent voters, men
who will make ample provisions and
in due time for carrying lame and
sick and Indifferent voters to the polls
on election day. These are the sort of
men the party wants and must have as
members of their Township Executive
Committees.
Let us get to work brethren and orr
ganize thoroughly from the bottom to
the top. No man, may shirk in TINS
fight.
Is THE MONEY WORTH SAVING.
