w. Frank Knox, of the $780," ID
some organizer" He demonstrated
that fact In Chase 8. Osborr's primary
campaign. Now he Is about to inaug.
urete an elaborate organization, which
wiz reach TO the furthermost recesses
OF every school district In the state
and which. he believes, will help IL
Keep Michigan In the Republican col
umn by an overwhelming majority
One hundred thousand majority" Is
Auoxs slogan, and II the goal Is not
reached II will not be due TO any lack
OF determination on Chairman KnCx's
part.
The conference scheduled for Tues.
day afternoon. In the Hotel Pontchar-
train. has been called for the purpose
OF perfecting the organization plan
end setting the machinery in moti,n
From present indications II will be-
almost a. important a gathering as
VAS the Republican state convention
lat week. All the members Of the
H@publican state central committee
~ chairmen and secretaries Of every
Hopublican county and congress .onal
committee In the state and all tho con-
9roostonal candidates on the state
ticket have been Invited to attend and
most OF them have sent word that they
Will be here. Senator William Alden
smith, Congressman Townsend end
Chase 8. Osborn will ne on baud and
VIII make addresses. The conference
- due to start at l o'clock In the aft
ernoon.
Mr.. Knox's plan is as simple as It
promises to be affective. The county
chairman will be asked for tli (, names
OF every member OF their respective
committees. the state central commit
tee will then address personal letter
70 each OF these members and ask
him to name one good man for each
school district in his territory. The
school district representatives, III
turn, Will be asked to select four active
workers to cover every part of the
district and cards will be issued IA
each to show that he Is an authorized
worker. In this way the state CEN
trail committee will be constantly In
touch with every little nook and cor
ner In the state and by means Of the
reports submitted will be able To keep
close tab on the fight Wherever a
weak spot Is detected the committee
Will try to get at the root of the troub-
10 and apply the proper remedy.
/ For the cities OF the state, Mr..
Knox has another plan. "Get-Out-the.
Vote" clubs will be organized In every
voting precinct. Each member will
sign q card pledging himself TO 20 TO
the polls on election day and to take
ut least one other Republican voter
with him. These names will be kept
on file in the ONCE, together with the
telephone number of each member,
that Is, those who have telephones,
and on election day the COMMITTEES will
arrange to have each man called up
and reminded Of his pledge.
"Thes Republican party was never
% rsited a. II fs this fall, a. Tar ~
Michigan Is concerned" said - Mr.
Knox. Everyone seems awake to
the necessity of concerted effort and
II we can get out the vote there will
be nothing to 1t but a landslide.
That's the whole trick. to get out the
vote, and we certainly are going to
do our best to accomplish that"
With reference to Lawton T. He
mans assertion at the Democratic
state convention that he would carey
the upper peninsula, Mr.. Knox sale,
with broad smile:
az would be willing to wager that
Mr.. Hemans will not get 5000 votes
in the upper peninsula
Mr.. Knox will go to Chicago, We'd
nesday, to consult with members ..
the national committee relative 20
speakers for Michigan.
