The Fourth District
Republicans
Active.
COMMITTEE IS
TO MAKE CANVASS
Aided by Precinct Club Officers
All Eligible Electors Will
Be Listed.

If systematic work will accomplish
results the Republicans of the Fourth
District will deserve success, for the
executive committee of the District
committee has decided that active oper-
ations shali begin at once. The meet
ing of the committee last evening at
headquarters was attended by every
member but one, and that man is out
of the city.
The only real work done by the COM
mittee was a decision that the polling
of the voters of the district must be
made at once. The first point TO be
met in the estimation of the commit
tee is the registration period. and the
list of voters which It is desired to Sc
cure at this time will be used in the
checking OF registry lists, when the
books are opened for the making of a
new record of eligible voters. The
registration will be watched very close
ly this year and the committees first
step will be the securing Of this poll by
a canvass OF the voting population.
For the purpose of making the work
as complete as possible upon motion it
was decided TO ask the executive COM
mittees of the various precinct clubs TO
work with the District committee in
this preliminary. 1t is the intention to
secure immediate action by the clubs
so that there may be no time lost in
finding out just how the voters of the
eastern end of the island stand. Mis-
sionary work among the electors who
are not Republicans will follow the list
ing Of all, but this will be the subject
of future conferences, as IL Is the in
tention Of the committee to devote its
energies to one subject at a time.
The canvass will be made confplete
and the lists once in hand will be pre-
served for the personal work Of the
clubs later in the campaign. There was
a deal of enthusiasm developed at the
meeting and the members expressed
the opinion that the work Of the cam
paign would be pushed along rapidly
as soon as the candidates were named.
FIFTH DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.
After many caucuses the first regular

Of matters which may be

quarters.
1t is probable that there will be sew

some days. and after frequent confer
ences IL has been the suggestion OF
some of the members of the commit

for the purpose Of ascertaining the
feeling of the members as TO the proper
course to follow in the matter Of the
There are now four men mentioned
for the nominations. II is hoped that
there will be two nominations given 10
