paign was conducted in Il systematic
and business manner: and more econo-

assistants were highly commended by
the passing of resolutions, for their able
and efficient work which the results of
their labors have already shown. Gov

The most important feature of the
meeting was the decision of the com

manner that the Democracy will be
united and inivncible party in Nevada
at the next campaign two years hence.
A plan was discussed and outlined to
form Jefferson Democratic Clubs
throughout the State to teach the voters
the principles of Democracy as ex-
pounded by the founder and prophet of
Democracy in America. An organizer
will visit every county in the State and
cooperate with the county chairman in
each county in effecting thorough
organization of clubs. Headquarters
will be maintained in Reno in charge of
Mr.. A. b. Gray, Secretary of the State
Central Committee, and under the
direction of State Chairman Peter J
Somers, who will keep in close touch
with all county organizations in the
entire State. Literature will be fur
nished to each county chairman to be
distributed to the voters of his county
to teach them what Democracy is and
that the Democratic party stands for.
The voters will be kept informed on al
matters relating to legislation, both
State and National, as we'll as political
and social events that transpire. The
plan outlined has the hearty ap
prevail of representatives of the Demo
cratic press who were present and
assured the committee of their earnest
corporation. The next two years will
be made campaign of education by
the Democratic party in Nevada -
