THE YEARS CAMPAIGN.
Getting Ready for Reorganization
Condensed Information.

Things are beginning to loom up for
the coming Democratic party reorgan-
ization in the State preparatory to the
holding Of the State Democratic con-
vention to be held in May, and to the
conduct Of the campaign and primaries
to be held throughout the State this
summer.
The first step toward reorganization
for the work ahead this year, which
is presidential as we'll as a State
campaign year, was taken Friday
when Col. Willie Jones, chairman of the
State Democratic executive committee,
issued call for meeting Of that com
mittee to be held in this city on Wed
sesday, April II. The committee will
have various matters to attend to at
this session.
In order that those interested in all
parts of'the State might have some
thing for their guidance in proceeding
with the reorganization Of the Demo
cratic party, Col. U. x. Guuter, Jr.,
secretary Of the State executive COM
mittee, has prepared the following,
which gives all information necessary
and which it will be well to clip and
keep.
"The township or ward clubs shall
meet on the fourth Saturday in April.
These local clubs elect a president, u.
recording and corresponding secre-
tary and treasurer, and shall have
three working committees of not less
than three members each: committee
on registration, an executive commit
tee and h other committees as may
be deemed expedicnt.
''These clubs shall operate under the
control of county executive commit
tee, which shall consist Of one member
from each club to be elected by the re,
spectiva clubs. The executive commit
tee shall appoint its own officers except
the chairman, who shall be elected by
the county convention. The local
clubs shall elect one delegate to the
county convention for every 25 mem
bers and one delegate for each major
ity fraction Of 25.
''The county convention shall be
called by the county executive commit
tee to meet on the first Monday in May
and when assembled shall be called to
order by the chairman Of the executive
committee and the convention shall
proceed to nominate and elect from
among it's members president: one or
more vice presidents, a secretary and
a treasurer, member Of the State
executive committee and delegates to
the State convention, each county be-
ing entitled to double the number of
delegates in the State convention as it
has members in the generally assembly:
''The State convention shall be called
by the State executive committee to
meet on the third Wednesday in May.
The State convention elects delegates
to the national Democratic convention
and member Of the national Demo
cratic committee"
Already there is much discussion as
to who will be this States delegates to
the national Democratic convention.
1t has been stated that Senator Till
man would attempt to name them, but
this has been denied. So far as the
State campaign is concerned there is
plenty of speculation as to who will be
the candidates fer the several State
Offices this year. All incumbents, it is
understood, will stand for reelection,
and opposition to only three has so far
made itself manifest.-The State.
