 Chairman Rountrse read the call stating that the committee had been assembled for the purpose of formu- lating plans for the election in the county in November and to devise ways to get all of the voters in the county to go to the polls and cast their votes in the national election.
 The majority of the members of the committee attended the meeting. only four or five of the precincts in the county not being represented by their committeeman.
 After Chairman Rountree had read the call for the meeting he stated that 1t was the purpose of the meeting to form Bryan clubs in every precinct in the county and to get out a full vote at the November election. He said that he had gathered that there were in the county between 1.500 and 2.000 citizens who had registered but who had not paid their poll taxes. He urged that each committeeman do his best to get every vote out on election day in his precinct and to get every voter to pay his poll tax next year so that he would vote at every cleo ton.
 At the conclusion of Chairman Roun- trees remarks, Col. B. F. Ellis made few remarks upon the urgency of polling a full vote in the November election and offered resolution which was 10 the effect that the committee form a Bryan club in each precinct and that every voter in every precinct be asked to contribute S1 towards the national campaign fund.
