Various subcommittee were appointed
to work in the surrounding country, after
which the club adjourned to meet on the
call of the Executive Committee.
The matter Of having big Democratic
rally at this point is being discussed.
The Malone men are going to have a
demonstration of some kind at all early
date. They are working with energy and
no doubt are we'll paid By the Boss. 1t be-
hooves us therefore to be wary and active.
The enemy are vigilant and strong, and
in order to count a victory we must fight
with closed ranks and there must be no
laggards.
But so far as Waynesbero precinct is con-
cerned there need be no fears but that she
will do her duty. Our people, as you know,
are not very demonstrative. but they know
how to work. and they dare to perform it..
