some organizer" he demonstrated
that fact In Chase s. Osborn's primary
campaign. Now he is about to inaug-
urate an elaborate organization, which
will reach 10 the furthermost recesses
of every school district In the state,
and which. he believes, will help ID
keep Michigan in the Republican COL
umn by an overwhelming majority.
One hundred thousand majority" IL
Knox's slogan, and II the goal IL not
reached II will not be due TO any lack
OF determination on Chairman Knox's
part.
The conference scheduled for Tues
day afternoon. in the Hotel Pohtchar-
train, has been called for the purpose
Of perfecting the organization plans
and setting the machinery In motion.
From present indications II will be
almost as important gathering as
was the Republican state convention
last week. All the members of the
Republican state central committee,
the chairmen and secretaries of every
Republican county and congregational
committee in the state and all the con-

ticket have been invited 10 attend and
most Of them have sent word that they
Will be here. Senator William Alden
Smith, Congressman Townsend and
Chase s. Osborn will be on hand and
will make addresses. The conference
Is due to start at / o'clock In the aft
ernoon.
Mr. Knox's plan Is as simple as 1t
promises TO be affective. The county
chairman will be asked for tia names
OF every member of their respective
committees. the state central commit
tee will then address a personal lettsr
TO each or these members and ask
him to name one good man for each
school district I'm his territory. The
school district representatives, In
turn, will be asked to select four active
workers to cover every part of the
district and cards will be issued 20
each to show that he is an authorized
worker. In this way the state GEN.

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-
lie 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 a card pledging himself TO go 10
the polls on election day and to take
at least one other Republican voter
with him. These names will be kept
on Ale in the Office, together with the
telephone number OF each member,
that Is, those who have telephones.
and on election day the COMMITTEES viii
arrange TO have each man called up
and reminded Of his pledge.
The Republican party was never
SO united as II is this fall, az far as
Michigan is concerned" said Mr..
Knox Everyone seems awake TO
the necessity OF concerted effort and
II we can get out the vote there VIII
be nothing TO IL but landslide.
That's the whole trick. to get out the
vote, and we certainly are going 10
do our best to accomplish, that"

mans assertion at the Democratic
state convention that he would carry
the upper peninsula. Mr.. Knox said,
with broad smile:
II would be willing TO wager that
Mr.. Hemans will not get 5000 votes
in the upper peninsula" \
