mentioned as points which will be
stressed in the campaign. the pres

here.
A vigorous campaign was waged
by the party last year and indica-
tons are the present one will be

VIII Cooperate
Mr.. Green brought up the SUBJ
ject of cooperation with the Po-
Union City. He said Representatives
of this club had asked the cooper
alton of the democratic party in
educating the Polish people in the
matter of politics. 1t Is understood
both the republican and progress
siyes parties have also been asked
to cooperate.
He pointed out that there are
many Polish persons in Union City
who are not voters because they
never were interested in town af-
fairs. 1t is hoped that the parties
will arouse such interest among
them. Mr.. Green said that the rep
resentative implied that the Polish
would like representation on the
slate of the party but of course the
Polish would have to become vot-
ers and register with the party be-
fore they would be considered as
candidates.
The committee voted to cooper
ate with the club which is nom
political, partisan discussion being
barred. 1t also agreed to send
speakers from the democrat party
to the club to aid in this matter of
education. After the people are in
terested and are made voters it Will
then be up to the party to bring
some of them into the party ranks.
Mr.. Green said.
