PRECINCT COMMITTEEMEN.

On the third Saturday in No
vember throughout the State there
will be in every precinct an election
of Democratic precinct committee
men who are to serve for the next
four years and who are to look
after the party's affairs and honor.
This is a matter of great impOr-
lance. With the mass of voters
rests the responsibility of electing
capable, honest, sober, just and
reputable men and who, when
elected, should be permitted to
serve. Let there be in Montgom-
cry no more any valid cause for
complaint that unfairness has been
shown. that any man has been
robbed of his office, that there has
been any star-chamber proceed
ings and decisions from which
there has been no appeal except in
public expression of discomfort,
suspicion and humiliation and a
