President of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs. The call says that
the near approach of the national CON
vention of Democratic clubs, which will
be held at Indianapolis ON Oct. imposes
upon Democrats everywhere the duty of
increasing the work of club organization
and that the far-reaching issues which
confront the American people to-day
should impel every citizen to become a
politician in his own right.
The Democratic party, it says. is OPP
posed to the establishment of independ-
ent colonies under the American flag, is
pledged 10 increase warfare on trusts
and every form of private monopoly.
| The call concludes:
"All Democratic State and local com.
mittees are requested to see To it that nc
precinct shall be without n Democrat,

be no delay. The enemy is powerful
vigilant, and active. A club organized
now would be more effective than clut
