Anyone wishing to impart infor-

will bring out discussions and edu-

lnstrnmentalities for ''marshalling
the national conscience are.
!. Public speakers or lectures.
2. The newspapers.

III Lecture Bureau has beeu estab-
lished in New York, with il consider
able sum OF money behind it, to send

fected so that lis vast influence will
be felt in every neighborhood in the
nation.
The committee above named was
appointed to utilize and systematize
the press in educating the people.
Hence the importance of addressing
communications TO appropriate
committeeman through the papers,
SO as to draw out discu ssion, and AS
far as possible to unity the party
Views. In this way We will avoid
the evil Of party bosses imposing
Writer'S must study, first, to arrive at
definite conclusions IN tho subjects
in hand; and, second, to clothe their
ideas In il few words rs possible.
Editors must be allowed discretion
III cnrtailing or recasting articles.
Editors are requested to mail
newspapers, with communications
marked, to committeeman address
sed. One great object OF this COM
mittec should be to stimulate interest
in our newspapers and to extend
.heir circulation and usefulness.
Each committeeman will file away
all the information he receives. and
ut the appropriate time will "collate"
and report it for the use to the party
AMI people.
With the Democratic party,
though in power. yet split fatally on
the money and tariff issues; the Re-
publicaEs dwindled to u national
organization without the possibility Of
reOrganizing so as ever to win u
single one Of the 153 Southernelecto
al votes, and with the National party
bold defiant aud aggressive as ever,
II does look like we have ut last
joined battle for victory.
