gressional districts resolve them
selves into district conventions and
select two 90 delegates to represent

eight (S)ad legates at large be select
ton in it's order Of business shall
provide: and that the alternates be
selected in tn same manner as the
delegates hereinbefore provided.
The committee recommends to the
several county committees that in
those counties wherein are located
cities of population OF 5000 or more
that regular county conventions be
called, delegates to which shall be
chosen by precinct caucuses; in the
more sparsely settled counties mass
conventions may be held for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the
state convention If the duly con
stituted county committees prefer to
adopt this method.
And it is hereby recommended that
the various county central committees
meet to arrange for delegates under
this call not later than April 18th,

The present county central commit
tees of the democratic party are here
by directed to carry the provisions of
this call into effect
BY Order of the State Central Com
mittee.
