TO ACTION.

Editor Sentinel: A short time since you notified the Democracy of Jasper county that the Democratic State Committee desired thorough organization of every county in the state by the middle of March. This notice alone should have prompted the county chairman to immediate ac ion. But there are other and pressing reasons why immediate steps sho'd betaken for organization of the Democracy in this county. In tlm first place, 1 am strongly under tLe impression that for the past two years we have been operating without a committee, and it is time we have one—thoroughly Democratic at that. In the second place the republicans ar thoro’« ly organized in this county, and the Democracy should be prepared to meet them at the very threshhold of the contest. Further, the republican county convention has been called for ne*t mnth. The Democratic ticket should be in the field soon after and thus avoid the disadvatage of going into the contest with nums bers of votes pledged t j their opponents that otherwise they wo’d receive. If an immediate movement to this end is not made, 1 suggest that a call, signed by a number well-known Democrats, be issued.

THOROUGH DEMOCRAT.
