 Chairman Mallory has drafted the fol- lowing letter which will be sent to the chairmen of the county democratic com mittees in Alabama urging the organiza- tion of Parker and Davis clubs To the Chairman of the County Demo- cratic Committees:
 Dear Sir-I suggest that 1t will be well to organize in your county, if not already done so, Parker and Davis club and an active campaign inaugurated and continued from now until the November election. While it is true, there will be no opposition to our ticket in most of the counties, it is important that the prin- ciplss of the party be kept before our people. Especially is this true with ref erence to the younger voters and to the men not yet of age, who will soon be- come electors.
 The political principles maintained by our party are essential to the preservation Of free government, and there is little danger of an elector who has been thor oughly indoctrinated with them departing from the faith. We must look to the fu- ture as well as the present SO that if serious opposition arises. we will continue to have well trained and educ. ted party membership.
 suggest that you confer with the party leaders in your county with reference 10 the formation Of clubs and an active cam paign committee. I will be glad to hear from you as 60 the political conditions of your county.
 I am sending a similar letter to every county chairmsn. Yours truly,
 H. $. D. MALLORY.
