Now Work Together
Now, they are working to-
gether in a city-wide precinct
organization in its infancy as
a Democratic Party organ. A
steering committee directed by
Mr.. Dudley gets in touch with
residents Of precincts, ferrets
out party members or potential
party members and encourages
formation of units assigned to
talk to each resident.
I'VE started early because an
organization like this grows
slowly" Mr.. Dudley said, "The
kind of recruitment and inter-
est we seek takes a long time
to realize. So, we are bringing
the steering group together
once a month to take reports
from precincts, set advice from
neighboring State precinct
workers and to demonstrate
how to knock on doors and
talk politics In the homes"
