The chairman of the Republican Ter
ritorial coAhmittee mas issued the fol-
lowing circular letter which has been
sent broadcast, the men receiving it
being in most instances those who have
not been actively engaged in the work
of the party:
The Territorial Central Committee of
the Republican party has this day is
sued an official call for precinct club
primaries to be held in the several pre- /
cincts on Saturday August End. for the
n nf a1n nnf inn a faae hnf,
respective district committees, and also
delegates to the Territorial Convention. {
which is to be held in the first week Of
September at a time and place to be
sheIaaafter fixed.
While there is no rule to prevent the
same person being elected to both the
district committee and the Territorial .
convention, it is obviously desira BILE
that different persons should, as far as
practicable, be elected to the two
bodies.
The necessity of securing concerted
harmonious and intelligent action on
the part Of the Republican voters of
this Territory at the precinct primaries
has prompted me, on behalf Of the Re-
publican cause, to solicit your personal
aid and influence in this connection.
The Importance of general and united
action at the primaries cannot be over
The district committees to
candidates who are to run on the Re ,
publican ticket for the Senate and
House of Representatives These com
nittees will also have the general I
,harge and conduct Of the campaign in q
heir respective districts. The Terri
oriaI convention will nominate the Re o
publican candidate for Delegate to q
congress; frame and promulgate the c
ocal party platform: and elect a new
Territorial Central Committee. <
1t is apparent that these matters are 4
Ill of vital Importance to the party. +
every Republican, every loyal citizen, n
S directly interested in this work. The .
haracter, ability and popularity of the :,
'arty's candidates upon which the re
ult of the election Will largely turn -
will depend upon the interest and ac-
ivity displayed by yourself and your $
neighbors at your precinct a
Meeting. Il
1t will pay the people of this com q
1unity to send to Washington repre- Il
of ability and influence. and d
is confidently believed that a Repub- !,
can delegate in Congress could ac-
much good for the Territory.
his cannot be done except by hard,
work on the part of the 90
republican voters acting through the
republican organization. The more a.
Omplete and thorough that organiZa- 1T
on is made the better the chances of
successful campaign will be. Y
The outlook is favorable for Repub-
can success at the polls The oppor- o.
unity should not be lost to prevent I,
epetition of the past two years politi-
al history of this Territory.
Bespeaking your active assistance IN fl
le common cause,
/ remain, yours very truly. ~
