ITO the Democrats of the United
States
'The Democratic party and its friends
must meet the forces of corruption and
intimidation in politics this year by
thorough organization. A Democratic
club or society should be organized in
every city, town, village and precinct in
the United States. Democrats, and all
who are in sympathy with the principles
set forth in the Kansas City platform
are earnestly urged to join in the Demo-
cratic clubs and when none exists to as
sist in organizing them. This work in
uniting the forces of law and liberty
into one great systematized civic army
should be carried on simultaneously in
every part of the country without delay.
The friends of the Government, according
to the hitherto unchallenged American
theory of political equality everywhere
under our flag cannot afford to be less
jealous or less active than the advocates
of an American colonial empire suppor-
ted by rifles. No patriotic citizen can
ignore the attacks which are being made
upon the very foundations or our present
irreproachable form of government.
This year every citizen should
be a politician. Clubs and So
cieties should at once communi-
cate with the Secretary of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs, 1870
Broadway, New York City, SO that the
united membership may work systematic
cally in defense of the Republic as the
fathers made it. All Democratic commit
tees, State and local, are requested to
aid the National Association of Demo-
cratic clubs in this work.
