cost of living. Can any thoughtful
citizen doubt what the consequences
of Republican victory this year will
be? The Republican hypocrisy and
deception and the unsupported de-
Velopments of the past four years
point significantly to the purposes
Of the President and his advisers in
the future.
In the presence of these impend-
ing perils'- the National Democritic
League of Cluts calls upon all
Democratic Clubs, societies and as
sociations in. the United States to
organize their forces for the defense
of Republican institutions. Pat
riotic citizens, regardless of past
political ties or prejudices, are earn
estly invited to assist in the cam
paign Of organization, education and
agitation now being waged.
Every Democrat should now con-
slider it an honor to be a part of an
organization with such exalted pur-
poses. They should consider it a
privilege to contribute a mite of
their time and means towards sus-
tanning and extending the organiza-
ton of Democratic or campaign
clubs in every county in every
State of the Union. We want every
Democrat who has stood so nobly by
the league, in the past, to know
that the party leaders appreciate
their work and sacrifice for the
cause. Our success in this cam
paign now rests to certain extent
with them. Victory is now at our
doors. The party is sound on all the
great questions of the hour, and it
deserves, and it will receive the sup
port of all who love patriotism above
self, and believe in the equal rights
of man.
In order to win in this campaign
we must be thoroughly organized,
everywhere. Now is the time to
undertake the organization of
Democratic or campaign clubs.
Eleventh hour organizations, of the
mushroom variety" are all right
and do good work, but victories are
not the result of chance-they are
the result of organization, of care
full planning and concert of action.
The National Democratic League of
Clubs and the affiliated State
Leagues and Federations of Demo-
cratic Clubs invite you and all the
progressive young men of the coun-
try to join their ranks now, The
League is practically a young man s
organization. 1t appeals to them
for support, and it relies on them
to help carry forward it's plans.
All clubs and societies should at
once communicate with the Secre-
tary of the National Democratic
League of Clubs, Indianapolis, Ind,
so that the united membership may
work Systematically in defense of
the Republic as the fathers made it.
In localities where at present
there are no clubs, steps should be
promptly taken to organize them.
In the organization of a club it is
not necessary to wait fer the assur-
ance Of large membership, nor to
waste time in the preparation of a
constitution or bylaws; the club
may be organized by any number of
Democrats or persons in sympathy
with it's platform and candidates:
membership" and adopting of rules
and the matter of increasing the
procedure, if such rules are desired,
may be taken up later. AS a matter
of course, all Democrats and others
residing in any given locality should
be invited, and, if necessary, urged
to- join club that may be organized
in that locality, but the club can be
started by very few persons, and
it should be started without delay,
