Progressives to Gather in Ev-
cry Ward and Township to
Elect Central Committee
Members.
A REORGANIZATION
OF @. 0. P. STARTS
Paul Comstock Was Elected
Chairman and the Work of
Filling Up Gaps in Com
mittee Ranks Started.

The provisional progressive COM
mittee which met Saturday afternoon
for the purpose of preparing plan of
organization for the Progressive
Wayne county central committee, de-
cided to issue a call for mass meetings
in each of the townships in the county
and in each ward in the city for the
purpose of electing members of the
committee. Every township and ward
was represented at the meeting Satur-
day and each smember reported the
political conditions he found in his
! own immediate territory more than
satisfactory. The number of Progress
sives was estimated all the way from
so TO 80 per cent of the voters.
The committee thought that in order
to get a fair expression of the choice
| for members of the Wayne county
central committee il would be best to
, let each ward in the city and each
| township in the county, select its own
members of the committee.
| Meetings This Week.
The meetings will all be held be-
fore Saturday night of this week. The
/ members of the committee elected at
| the various mass meetings will then
meet on Tuesday afternoon, August
Goth at o'clock in this city for the
purpose OF forming a permanent or
ganization which will be known as the
Wayne County Progressive Central
Committee.
1t was decided to let the permanent
committee decide just what officers
it would have and how many members
would compose the executive commit
tee--s---..a--
The plan of organization followed
in Wayne county is about the same as
being done all over the state and with
