Urges Formation Of Clubs.
Mr.. Bryan's first visit here today was to
the bureau of organization of which j. w
Tomlinson is the head. where he discussed
the subject Of the formation of clubs Mr.
Bryan is a great believer in clubs. Fol-
lowing this visit the democratic candi.
date made the following statement:
There is nothing that increases man
interest in the partys success more than
the work that he himself does. When a
man joins a club and enrOlls himself as q
worker his own enthusiasm Is increased
The consciousness that he is serving the
party is in itself stimulus to greater
services. Then. too. the club gives a
unity of purpose and of action.
when they meet together in the club
room and exchange views they are not
only better informed upon the questions
which are being discussed. but they con-
centrate their efforts and work more ef-
fectively
while IL is necessary 10 give atteHtloh
to the raising of money for campaign
purposes. especially where the money lie
raised by popular subscription, the col
lection of money is but small part OF
the campaign. The most valuable con-
tribution that a democrat makes to his
party is in the service that. he renders
by cooperation with democrats.
THE more democratic clubs the better
impression made. the greater amount OF
work done and the more enthusiasm
II am very glad to find that our work
is so we'll started and in such good hands.
Mr. Tomlinson's heart Is in the club
movement and he is pushing it with all
his energy
