titled to have, and that other districts do
not have an adequate representation, and
other Objectionable features are complain
ed of as being undemocratic. The Demo
cratic party of Carbon county ought TO he
able to devise and adopt set of rules that
will guarantee to the Democratic voters a
fair expression of their will in the selec-
tion OF their candidates. As the Chairman
of the Democratic County Committee, de-
string to see the Democracy of the county
united and harmonious for success, and
believing that the demand for change of
rules is so important that it ought not to
be disregarded, therefore, hereby call a

mittee, to meet in the Court House At
Mauch Chunk. on Monday, September 20,
