The Woman's National
Democratic Club, under the
direction Of Mrs. John Allan

membership committee, is
making an intensive drive
for new members despite the
lassitude induced by the
summer weather.
According to the circular
letter sent out by Mrs.
Dougherty, now is the time
for all good Democratic
women to scurry around and
bring into the club member
ship at least one woman,
who has not belonged be-
fore.

In, this letter the energetic
chairman urges cooperation
with the Democratic national
committee in the tremendous
plans for organization afoot in
Washington. And then there
Is the usual Clarion call" to
victory in 1882 to prevent the
'stragedy Of failing to elect .
Democrat to lead the country"
1t doesn't matter where q
member Of the Woman's Ma.
tional Democratic Club may be
during the summer at home,
at a resort, or travelling g-Mrs.

to do her duty in increasing the
membership so that it may be-
doubled before the end Of sum-

The card enclosed with each
letter tells that the fees for
membership in the club are as
