This is not as it should be and shows a lack of
the support and encouragement which the prin-
cpal party organization Of the county should
have.
1t will be seen at once from the above exhibit
that the doors OF the County Committee are and
have been wide open to receive all Repu bLcans
to member ship with voice in the direction of
party matters and to take fair share of the
work that has to be done.
We trust our friends in the several assembly
dist riots will remember and take special notice
of this matter, and that in the coming
primary elections their quota in the County
Committees is filed by the selection of earnest,
active workers, who are Republicans for love Of
the party and its principles, who are loyal and
true to those principles, and are willing and
anxious to serve their party and contribute to
its success by giving a reasonable portion of
their time thought, energy and money for that
purpose.
The Committee desires the assistance of all
Republicans who are willing to give time and
effort to advancing the success of the Repub-
lican party, and invite all such Republicans to
senu their names and addressestto the Secretary
of the County Committee in order that they
may be recommended for membership.
