How to Organize a DIV. Campaign

IN the campaign Tor 10000 circulation for the
Daily Worker there have been made in var
louS parts OF the country distributions of the
Daily containing stories of special interest to
workers IN these sections. AS thousands of new
workers learn of the Daily Worker for the first
time in this way and as many subscriptions are
obtained in the follow UP, this activity must be
regarded as extremely important
To complete big distribution successfully all
parts OF an extensive machine must work per-
fectly. The Daily Worker has received many
complaints when the machine for one reason or
another has broken down. Today we publish
the report of an extensive distribution which
worked perfectly. 1t is described in letter from
Paul Cline district organizer and Mel Wermblad.
district Daily Worker representative in District
10, Kansas City
Here is the letter:
Dec. %, 1890
Dear Comrades:
On behalf of the District Committee of Dist
10. we wish to express our comradey apprecia-
ton OF the splendid cooperation we received from
the Daily Worker business and editorial de-
partments in putting across our Red Week for
the Daily Worker. Comrades all over the coun-
try invariably write in expressing their kicks and
complaints, but very few take the trouble to
comment on work well done by the hard-pressed
COiuIduSS turning OUT our DAILY.
We especially want to call attention to the
TACT that practically all of our articles were
printed-and printed on the right days, and that
the 1000 daily COPIES divided into 5 bundles,
arrived in the right places at just the right time
The comrades all over the district arc very
pleased with this and an improved attitude to-
wards the Daily has resulted
Because of the thorough advance preparations
by the District Committee backed by the splen-
Gid cooperation of the Daily Worker staff, we
have been able to achieve good results Although
complete reports are not at hand we can state
that in Sioux City alone, where we secured IL
monthly and weekly subs our entire efforts
have been more than repaid. Besides the subs
secured, much literature has been sold, Party
members enrolled and valuable contacts made
We expect minimum of 35 new subs as a re-
suit of this concentrc drive. And this =
only the beginning.
Comrades, as result of putting across this
drive in an efficient. business-lke manner both
from the district end, and the Daily Worker end,
decidedly improved attitude on the part of
our comrades towards the Daily Worker has
been realized. The path towards building mass
circulation for the Daily Worker in this district
has been indicated to the Party members You
can rest assured that this drive marks the real
beginning of Daily Worker Building in our
district
With Communist greetings
PAUL CLINE,
District Organizer.
MEL WERMBLAD,
District Daily Worker Agent.
Districts and cities planning distributions have
repeatedly been advised to watch these three
points
1. To send stories to the Daily Worker sew
era1 days in advance of the date of issue.
2. Send several short stories rather than one
long story
3. To order an issue dated sufficiently ahead
of the distribution date to ensure arrival
