Mr. Pitts has had three assistants aiding in get
ting off reenrollment supplies, and all supplies
being shipped, except two counties which go for
ward today.
Every Prohibitionst receiving booklet from
his county chairman is urged to remember that
the success or failure of the entire state plan to
organize by districts depends upon him, and to do
his share and do it promptly. If each one does
his work quickly, the plan will be success, and
an organization started which will later sweep
the state.
Chairman Pitts has secured the services of
State Secretary Harger, earnest worker, prac-
teal political strategist, and pleasant, convincing
speaker, to work for the committee, commencing
Sunday, April 5, for month, to reinforce DR..
Tiffany, who is still touring the state, holding
splendid meetings, raising funds and covering
himself with glory"
Mr.. Pitts is busily preparing rosters"

assembly conventions, judicial conventions, total

every detail of every convention and arrange

same, securing convention places, arrangement of
programs, preparation of certificates, etc.
The chairman has in construction systematic
plan for the holding of all the conventions which
are to take place in the state and is in CORE
spondence with the county chairman concerning
them. There will be seventy three county con-
ventions, since twelve counties must hold two
one hundred and fifty assembly conventions, fifty
one senatorial conventions, thirty-one Congress
sional conventions and several judiciary conven-
tons, beside the state convention The chair
man is planning that he or DR.. Tiffany will at
tend every county convention and is laboring to
have the dates so arranged that this will be pos
sible Special attention will be given to the SEN
atorial and Congressional conventions with a
view to having all of those conventions held,
whereas formerly only fraction of them have
been held The state headquarters will be made
an active factor in the holding of all of these
conventions and the correct arrangement of every
detail in connection with them
