thorough notice be given of tho times
and places of holding the primaries
and all Democrats are urged to attend
them.
The following rules suggested by
the state Democratic executive COM
mittee should be observed in the
count of the primaries, namely:
l. In holding the primaries all per.
sons should be admitted to partlci
pate who possess the general qualif
cations of a voter, are residents of the
precinct and county IN which the pri-
mary is held who announce their al
legiance to the Democratic party, and

2. No person who affiliates with any
other political party to whose princi-
! Piles and action he pledges allegiance
should be permitted into Democratic
primaries unless he shall first re.
nounce his allegiance to said party
and pledge his support to the Domoc
racy and its nominees.
3. No man should be excluded
from the primaries for the reason tina
he believes in the sub-treasury or any
other single principle or measure OPP
posed by the Democratic party, provi-
ded he is willing to support the or
gained action of the party and vot'
for its nominees regardless of thei
views upon such principle or measure
4, If in any particular locality tn
general rules herein suggested be in
, sufficient in the judgment of the coun
ty executive committee to protect tn
primaries against the participation
therein by the Ell emies of the party
it will be the duty Of each local exec
I utive committee to provide additions
effective methods and tests for tn
, protection of the party.
t 1t is the privilege and duty of ever
loyal Democrat to let the force of hi
views upon principles and men b
e felt in the primaries and then che Ell
fully abide and support the result
Such a course is necessary to part
organization, and indulge the hop
i that all good Democrats in the stat
will assert their Individuality in tn
primary actions of the party and whe
Z nominations are made they will rail-
as one man to the support of tn
d nominees. N. w. FINLEY,
