man. who, upon assuming his duties, ex-
planned in detail the object of the call to
which this body has so largely responded.
Our effort is not to divide the Republican
party, but to Gull out and organize the local
volunteer forces of the party and to supple
ment and assist the committees throughout
the counties. The most important work of
the convention will be to create perma-
nent national committee, composed of one
or two members from each State. This
organization should seek, by all intelligent
means known to it, to increase and utilize
the political clubs throughout the country
as a permanent educational force and po-
litical power.
