The meeting was called to order by Colonel McAlpn
soon after l O'Clock this afternoon. There was
remarkably large attendance Of committee members
when It is considered that this is place which cannot
easily be reached from many parts OF the state In
opening the meeting Colonel McApin said that 1t was
unnecessary for him to call attention 10 the Importance
Of the campaign that the Republicans now were In
but It was TO be Of the hardest campaigns tnat
the party ever had fought. The work which the
bsa I'd which IL
is TO be held responsible Is enormous. He added
at Is something the like OF which never before has
been undertaken II the officers Of the League do
their duty there win be full registration and II there
Is full registration and tho Republican vote b cast
and counted honestly, We will carry this State
This sentiment was received with great enthusiasm
Then Colonel McAlpln explained the new plan Of
county organization which now has been successfully
put into practice in several counties OF the state,
notably in Monroe County, whore there are now over
fifty League clubs at work The plan as set forth Is
much on the principle Of military organization with
responsible head IN each county who will have under
him competent and capable officers in each ward,
town and election district Under this system Of
organization II was proposed TO make n careful and
thorough canvass Of each election district OF tho
state. "When YOU look at II II seems to be
gigantic undertaking." the speaker went on; shut If
you stop 10 consider IT, it can be done. IL must be
done! I say must be done because In this campaign
tbere is no such word as fail We are going TO elect
J. sloat Fassett Governor this fall and are going
TO elect the Legislature, too" Again the members OF
the committee and the Others present broke ont into
applause and from various sections OF the room came
the response ave WILL We will"
Colonel McApln then explained the system Of
getting the voters the country registered by means
OF registration blanks which had been printed by the
League and were ready for distribution throughout
the state. The blanks are an exact fac-simile
OF the regulation registration lists and the
League men in each election district In the
country will see 20 1t that every Republican voter is
properly Registered. Under the amendments to the
new Ballot law the personal registration of voters in
the country towns is net needed and can see
to 1t that his acduanances and friends are registered
After explaining how the registration could be kept
up Colonel McAlphln unfoded plan for getting out
the voters on Election Dav who. Oh account of the
weather through infrmlty. cannot get to the polls
This is TO be done through the use Of carriages and
other cOnveyances Of various sorts which 10 make
regular and specified trips through the several election
districts Of each Election Day. The speaker
next dwelt upon the absolute necessity of forming
Republican clubs In each If TIE towns and the counties
and maintaining them continually When he had
finished the applause broke OH agair and every ore
present was rs much impressed with the earneStness
OF tho Young president OF the League clubs with the
soundn,ss Of the plans which he advanced. What he
had told to tho members OF tho Executive Committee
present seemed to right home to them ard those in
whose counties plan Of campaign similar to that out
