enuized in everv precinct in the
.county, and at the last meeting of
the county executive committee tho
secretary 'was instructed to notify,
voters to tjiis effect.
Do not put it off. If y ou had a
filnb .during the late state cam
paign, call a meeting and reorgan
ize, and add as many more names
as possible to the list, and in pre
cincts where there has been no or
ganization., let there be a meeting
palled and an organization effected.
". Thursday, September 1. is sug
gested as the day on 'which a sren-
jera) movement be made in every
precinct in the county to organize
local clubs. .
The mode of organization is sim:
pie. Let pne or two good workers
sdect time and place and notify all,
jtnd at the meeting elect your pres
i lent and secretary and treasurer.
The president is selected anew at
every meeting, but the secretary
and. treasurer are jiermaiient. Se
cure the national platform of the
People's party and require ul! mem
bers to sign their names underneath
on a blank paper, to which the
platform is attached.
The secretary of each local club
piust send in his name to the sec
retary of the county executive com-.
mitlee as soon as possible, that a
clubs organized, which "will facili
tate the labors of the county or
jgnnizcr. Ira Wakefield, who, having
a large neld to cover, .in ay know
j-vhere to work with effect.
The next meeting of the county
executive committee is set for Sat
urday, September 17. at Med ford
it 10 o'clock a. "ui.and a large at
tendance is necessary. The basis
of represt-nt alien totbe ceunty cen
tral committee is one representa

should be remembered thai a pre
cinct can have as ,many clubs as
the voters with, but only one rep
jescntative mutt be elected. tp rep
resent the 'precinct in the county
central -committee, thus where a
precinct has more than one club
they must all combine and jointly
eiect one of their number.
