LETTER OF WARNING CHAIRMAN BRICK OFFERS DEMOCRATS SOME ADVICE. He Says They Maat Organize and Work Harder, or Lose on the Approaching Presidential Race, New York, July 1. Senator Brice, chairman of the national democratic committee, has written, a letter of warning and advice to . his, fellow members of the national committee. The letter, embodies dvice in regard to the association of democratic clubs and the neces sity of the national committee co operating with them. The sena tor begins with the. statement that the presidential contest is near at hand, that the republicans are rapidly preparing for it, and that tbe democrats cannot be too swift in arranging to meet them. t he plan of the campaign of the republicans, be says, is a colossal system of clubs to be- maintained!, ' and supported by unlimited means lrawn Irom the pockets ot bene- bciaries of a monopoly policy. fhis system, he urges, can only be met by an extensive system of voluntary democratic clubs -associations of the people in their several neighborhoods lor tne de fense ot their rights and interests against those banded to assail them. Brice thinks the approach ing struggle is to be one mainly between the clubs, and it in greatly to be desired that a uni form and perfected system of dem ocratic societies throughout be organized, and an intimate associ ation with each other shall he es tablish'! before the beginning of next year. Brice concludes his letter as follows: "An important feature of tbe plan is the selection of cor resDonaents in tbe several- Btates. This now requires urgent atten tion in your state. I would, there fore, ask you to confer wi;h the chairman of your state committee as soon as may be convenient and arrange this particular part of the plan so that you will do all in your power to facilitate organization, a .id in other ways that you ma f think best."
