ST. PAUL, Minn., July 90 1s91.-My Dear
Sir: The Minnesota Democratic association
whose objects are set forth in the enclosed
has a proposition from T. D. Woodward,
secretary of the New York Tariff Reform club,
to do a portion of the work of the associa-
ton. He offers to make descriptive list
of the voters of the state and to distribute
among them the tariff literature supplied by
his club. He has bad charge of this work in
New York, Iowa and other states and has eX-
penenced men to put on it. The association
deem the offer more economical, efficient
and expeditiousTthan their proposed plan Of
doing the same work.
With the new ballot law our methods of
campaign work will be radically changed.
1t must be directed mainly to instructing
voters and getting them to the polls. The
pivotal need of this work is poll of the
voters 1t is the duty of this committee to
use every effort to aid this as preparation
tor the next campaign. We owe it to the
party to do this. l would therefore, like to
meet the gentlemen of the state central COM
mittee, and suggest that we meet with the
executive committee of the association at its
offices, Room 12j, Globe building, Thursday,

At 10:45 D. A. Monfort called the
meeting to order and stated the provis-
ions of the act Of the last legislature
creating the board and appropriating
$4,000 tor the worlds fair. He also re-
cited the fact of the organization of the
state board. The sum appropriated, he
said, was entirely too small, and the
board was the more impressed with
this fact since its visit to and meeting at
Chicago. If the state of Minnesota was
to be at all adequately represented,
more money must be raised, and this
meeting was called to devise the ways
and means to procure that money.
