nation of q State Committee.
 At last the full Socialist vote in the State is known; 13, ,704 ballotts were cast for Francis Gerau; hardly county, town or hamlet but is represented on the roll; besides in the State generally, almost in every locality the requisite percentage was boiled, and the party is now officially recognized As result, improved methods for agitation and po- Iitical action have suggested themselves, and have received prompt attention from the party.
 First among these, was the formation of State Committee, matter upon which the Sections of New York issued a call, published three weeks ago in the WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE, and asked for vote of the other Sections in the State. The votes so far reported-at Albany, Brooklyn, Utica, Richmond County, Buffalo, Troy, Oneida and Yonkers- show a substantial uhanimity upon the subject, and foreshadow the speedy formation of the projected State central body.
 Furthermore, in the city of Ne V York itself the necessity was felt for more practical organization, matter that was promptly taken in hand by the joint Sections of the city, and led to the adoption, at the joint meeting of the party on Friday evening, the 9th in t., the following plan of organization: 1-There shall be branch of the party in every Assembly District of the city, to consist of residents of the re spective districts
 No one can be a member of the Sec ton New York, S. L. P, without previ- ous membership in his or her respective district
 The officers of the Assembly District organization shall be: Treasurer, a Corresponding and d Recording Secre- tary. The same person may unite the two last named offices.
 Residents of districts that are not yet organized may join provisionally the nearest district organization in existence. It shall be the duty of the Central Committee, hereinafter provided, in conjunction with the Assembly Dis trict organizations, to cause appli- cants for membership, from districts that are not yet organized, to join one and the same district organization.
 2-Besides the Assembly District Branches, there shall be, according to the requirements of the case, Language Branch Organizations-Ame (Eng. fish speaking), German, Scandinavian, Jewish. Polish, etc. These Branches shall have power to provide for their own rules and regulations, and in spe- cal cases, to raise funds.
 3-The administration of the whole Section New York, shall be attended to by a central body to be known by the name of the "Central Committee of the City and County of New York;"
 This body shall be composed of one delegate from every Assembly District organization; one delegate from every Language Branch and the officers, which, according to the existing consti- tuition of the s. l.. P, are to be chosen for the Section New York. These off cers are the Treasurer, the Correspond ing and the Recording Secretary, and the Agent; they shall exercise their functions as members of the Central Committee; and they shall be elected either by the vote of the Assembly Dis tricts, or at joint meeting properly an nounced and called for the purpose.
 1.-The dues of the members shall be 20 cents per month, of which five cents shall go to the treasury of the Assembly Districts, and 15 cents of the Treasury of the Central Committee.
 The Assembly District Treasurer, shall render at least one account every month to the Section Treasurer.
 5-The admission of new members, as well as the payment of dues, may take place either in the Assembly District or Language Branches. New members ad. mitted by the Language Branches shall pay there their first fees, and receive a provisional membership card assigning them to their respective Assembly Dis trict Branches, to which they will report at the next regular day of meeting and receive their regular membership card
