To --, County Chairman.
Dear Sir: BY direction of the chair
man of the State Democratic executive
committee your attention is called to
the following resolution passed at the
last meeting of that body, and you are
earnestly requested to see that it is
enforced to the best of your ability:
Whereas there is good feeling
among all Democrats in the State to-
day: and whereas it is desirable that
the campaign, being contest among
Democrats, shall be conducted on
high plane, therefore be it
Resolved, That the State Democratic
executive committee suggest to the
county chairman of each county OF the
State the advisability Of requiring the
candidates not to indulge in personal
abuse. but to confne themselves to
discussion Of the issues: and tha. any
candidate who persists in refusing ac-
quiescence to this suggestion be not
allowed to speak"
AS there seems to be some confusion
in reference to the assessment of the
counties by the State Democratic eX-
ecutive committee, l beg to call your
attention to the fact that the candi-
dates for the general assembly are not
assessed by the State committee.
The counties are assessed on the
basis of the representation which
each county has: that is, $40 for sena-
tor and s. for each member Of the
house. The oaths of these candidates,
as all other county candidates, will, OF
course, be filed with the county chair
man. Respectfully,
U.X. GUNTER, JR.,
Secretary.
