ORGANIZATION IS
TO Be SLOGAN
so SAYS JOHN P. ClLDAY, CHAIR
MAN OF THE COUNTY CAM
PAlGN COMMITTEE.

One Of the significant lessons Of
yesterdays election in Carter coun-
ty, said Jno. P. Gi.day, democratic
campaign manage, is the need Of
more responsive organization
among the democratic workers OF the
county. No more effective plan,
both for simplicity and certainty Of
producing the results, could have
been adopted for bringing out the
voters, than that which our commit
tee used in this county. 1t put the
work of bringing out the vote, into
the hands of board Of five working
democrats in each precinct OF the
county. Now a careful study OF the
results show that in every precinct
where the committeeman responded
intel.igently and energetically to this
plan, his box return shows Is effect
iyeness. This Is notable in the coun-
try precincts especially. Some OF
them got their democratic votes out
to man. Others that ignored the
plan of organization, and followed
the old hap-hazard way Of trusting 70
luck, show a large percentage Of
stay-at-home.
Our committee worked hard on this
organization plan, and the time will
come when We will be able to ac-
count, as We should do, at present
for every democratic vote on election
day. That is what organization
means, but it is no easy matter to
get the right kind of men in the Or
ganization, especially where so little
of it has been heretofore done.
Il believe in starting organization
the day after election as well as in
the days before, and we have learned
many valuable lessons in this cam
paign, by which we mean to profit
I'm the future But with all our hand
leaps Carter county responded very
nobly, and will give handsome ma
iority, Notwithstanding many adverse
conditions"
