ment was issued Tuesday from the

lS9O.-To the Democrats Of Ken
County and Precinct Organ.-
cations. Your State Central Commit

take Immediately u thorough reorgan-
ization of the Democratic party in the
State, as provided by the Louisville
Convention. They consider it unwise
to organize new committees prior to
the August election. They rely on
the present organization of the com
mittees to look well to the party's in
terests in every precinct in order to
bring out full vote ON the first Mon
day in August.
To this end each committeeman
throughout the State is invited to
communicate freely with the Central

day of July.
The Chairman of each County Tor
Legislative district) Committee is re-
quested TO furnish the Central Com
mittee on or before the 10th of July
with list OF his committee.
The party is urged to bear in mind
the fact that effective strength must
come from organized precincts, and
no party effort will supply the omis-
sion.
The Chairmen of the Senatorial
districts, Judicial districts and Con-
gressional districts are expected to
supplement the efforts of the Central
Committee by personal assistance
within their districts, and from all
alike full advice is respectfully So

Nominating Conventions. I'm view

absence OF any party rule in respect
to dropping the names of candidates
before convention, the Central Com
