In Every Precinct.

Bryan's advocacy of the organiza-
in all precincts of the United States
marked an innovation in party work
In the country, but one that will ma
terially assist the democratic nation
al ticket in the coming election
Party organization is necessary to
party success This is irrefutable.
There has never been any criticism
of party organization, although purists
in politics have, and rightfully SO,
denounced organizations" when those
organizations become machines for
the purpose of forwarding the chica-
merry OF political bosses"
Honest party organization does
mucn to do away with the machine"
organizations. When the majority of
citizens take active part in politics,
then and then only, will pure politics
prevail for by their numbers they will
overthrow "bossism" and clear the
country of the dishonest political at
mosphere.
honest wOrkmen, the professional
man, the earnest business man, can
obtain control of suffrage only by &C
tive work. This work can be accom-
plished only by organization, and the
foundation of a great party is COM
posed of the snb-organizations in
every precinct in the United States.
Men cannot in justice to themselves
and their neighbors neglect the power
OF suffrage. Political chicanery is the
outgrowth of such neglect. The man
who fails to choose his political par
ty honestly, and TO vote az the public
primary for the candidate he thinks,
after careful study, will best protect
his interests and his neighbor's in
terests, has been guilty of negligence
that borders On criminal, for ne has
been instrumental, by neglect, in plac-
ing unworthy men in offices of trust.
Every man in order that he may
fully carry out the duties of citizen
ship should take part in the politics
of his country, He should affiliate HIM

his principals and should assist il
giving the control of the government
to men who will govern by those
principals.
The local party organizations are
vital to the success of the party. Es-
Gambia county has a Bryan and Kern
club. Precinct clubs are being form
ed Every democratic voter of every
precinct should join these clubs.
They are the rocks upon which dem
ocratic success on November will
be erected. Be not negligent but do
your duty to yourself and 1eighbor
and assist the party with which you
are affiliated by becoming an earnest
worker in the ranks. Join your local
organization.
