We recommend that the primary convention
for the election of delegates and alternates TO
the State convention be held in the counties
or districts, as the several committees may de-
termine, on Saturday the Both day Of June, 1875.
The manner OF selecting the delegates and
alternates, whether by county or district, mass
or delegate conventions, TO be determined by
the several county committees each for itself.
Where conventions have already been held in
the respective counties and the delegates and
| alternates selected to the convention and their
names forwarded TO the secretary Of the State
| Central Committee at Leavenworth, it will, OF
course, not be necessary TO hold said county
conventions a second time for the same purpose.
| In all counties where conventions have not been
hold as aforesaid, the secretaries Of the several
conventions county, district mass, are respect
| fully requested to forward to the secretary OF
| the State Central Committee at Leavenworth,
full and accurate lists of the delegates and al
| ternates chosen Immediately after the adjourn
ment OF their respective conventions. And that
| they also transmit at the same time TO the SEQ
| rotary of this committee at Leavenworth. the
| full name and post-offoe address OF each mem
Der OF the new county central committee Sc
lected.
All voters in the State, whether heretofore
formally affiliated with the Democratic party
or not, who are IN harmony with the position
of the Democracy on National questions, and
believe IN the principles emphasized in the
late message of the President to Congress and
IN the prlnclpes enumerated IN the PLATFORM OF
the party adopted at Wichita on May Il, are
cordially and earnestly invited to join in the
selection of delegates to the convention hereby
called.
We earnestly urge upon the Democrats OF
Kansas the absolute Importance OF prompt and
thorough organization of the party in every
county and township in the State in order that
every district may be fully represented in the
State convention. and an active and effective
organization obtained at once for a vigorous
campaign the coming summer and fall.
We respectfully request every Democratic
newspaper in the State to publish this notice
and editorially call special attention to the i'm
portance OF complying with the suggestions
