Each township, at the meeting for the nomination of candidates to be voted for at the April election, should select its local committee and the officers fhereof for die ensuing two years. 3. The chairman of the several township committees thus chosen, should, at the meeting of the County convention, be selected ns members of the County Central Committee, which j should as soon thereafter as possible organize by the'selection of the necessary officers. 4. The chairman, secretaries and treasures o f County committee ia each judicial or joint legislative district should constitr te the joint committee for said district. 5. The chaii man of the several county committees in each district should constitute ttie congressional district committee, having for its chairman ttie member of the State Central com mittee, who is selected by the district delegates in State convention. 6.

7. A full and complete list of eoun ty and township nominees of the party, giving post-office address of eaen, should, be transmitted to these head quarters immediately after selection. 8. As the last legislative apportionment. leaves many joint represent - tive districts without properly authorized committees, therefore, to prevent the possibility vis confusion in such districts the following instructions are issued: The chairmen, secretaries andtreas urers, proner, of the committees in the counties composing a joint representative district shall constitute the committee for such district. The chairman of the committee from the most populous county shall act as chairman of such joint tommittee. If by reason of an even vote of such committee there should be a failure to determine ratio, of representation for joint convention, then, in that case the ratio shall be oue delegate for each 100 votes east for Governor James D. Williams and oue delegate for each fraction of 50 or over. These rules will also apply to judicial district committees. 9. All communications, filling of blanks and reports to headquarters containing names or figures, should be plainly written out in order that mistakes may be avoided.
