National commit

state committe. National commit
teemen are requested to cooperate
with state chairmen. Whatever reg
ular meetings you are arranging for
afternoon and night of November 2
should proceed just the same, and
Governor Wilson's message can be
read at such meetings, but the COM
mittee suggests that you have the
democrats assemble in as many 9TH
er places within your state as pos
sible, even if they come together
informally for the purpose OF re-
ceiving this special message from
Governor Wilson. 1t will be an
inspiring thing to assemble or mob
ilize as far as possible the hosts OF
democracy on November to hear
Governor Wilson's message and to
concert measures for bringing out
on election day the largest possible
democratic vote. The response we
have received to this suggestion
throughout the country has been
most favorable. We believe that
Wilson and Marshall Day can be
made great and inspiring feature
of the present campaign. Governor
Wilson's message will be sent to you
in ample time to have you forward
II TO every meeting which may be
arranged for in your state. Please
do all that you can to give this the
widest publicity and to make Will
son and Marshall Day a great sue
cess. While the national committee
can do little more than offer sug-
gestions. you may be sure of our
hearty cooperation.
"W. G. McADOO,
Vice Chairman.
From forty-elsht state chalrmen
Tn whom the original announcement
of the Wilson and Marshall Day
was sent. forty-two have notiflec
Vice Chairman McAdoo that they
are in accord with the idea ano
that they will cooperate in ever!
nossible manner to make the day a
memorable success. Many OF the
state chairmen have already set IL
motion the machinery of the state
organizations by notifying county
chairmen and precint leaders every
where to make preparations for the
big day by rallying the voters II
every town and at every cross-road'
in their respective localities.
1t was first planned to have th'
nation wide rally in the evenlns
only, but from many southern an'
western states came requests ina
the celebration be held in the al
ternon as well, in order to give thu
country people in sparsely populated
sections better opportunity TO
taking part IN the big demonstra
ton.
This suggestion was approved b!
the national committee and nov
preparations are in full swing al
over the country. The idea is some
thing new in presidential camapign
ing, and is being enthusiasticall!
supported in every section OF tA'
country. In some cities and large
towns plans are being made for bi'
street parades and fireworks, t
conclude with general mass mees
ings when the message from Cover
nor Wilson will be read. In sever
al of the southern states the leader
have reported that they are pre-
pairing for a big picnic and genera
holiday in each county. and tina
large crowds and jolly good tim
are expected. In thousands of coun
try places the people will assem-
BILE in the evening around huge bon
fires and hear the message read.
There is a psychological novelt,
in the consciousness that the sam
words are to be heard simultaneous
" by millions of people from ocea
to ocean and throughout the cour
try. Democratic leaders and dem
I oorot;o pawSnoDerS ara enthusiast
tally preparing to make the occa
