TO ORGANIZE.

At the meeting of tlie State Central Committee last week the necessity for a compact organization was discussed and the belief wait generally expressed that this would assure Indiana's ret;m.i to the Democratic fold. All the members pledged themselves to their best endeavor in this respect, and in every precinct, township and county in the state the work is now in progress. But the chairmen of these several political divisions cannot do the work alone. They need the assistance of every Democrat in their respective jurisdictions, and if this is given and given cordially, and every Democrat goes to work and works with a will, there will be no question of the result. Indiana is naturally a Democratic state. Among its voters are thousands of farmers who are oppressed by an iniquitous Republican tariff; and thousands of laboring men who are dependent upon the capricious will of the tariff-fostered trusts, and thousands of salaried men whose incomes have been decreased in the past ten years by abnormal advances in the prices of the trust products. These classes are all replying against the Republican policy through which they are burdened and which Mr. Roosevelt has defiantly declared will be continued if he is elected. The Democratic party has set its face against these things, and its candidate for the presidency is pledged to correct the existing and constantly growing evil. Every tariff-oppressed farmer, every trust-burdened laboring man. every salaried employe, who feels the stress of present conditions, can be reached by the local organization and made to realize that the remedy is at hand if he will only avail himself of the opportunity to lay hold of and improve It. A close, efficient organization can reach these classes, and it is the only kind of an organization that can. It behooves every Democrat, then, to go to work and labor earnestly to accomplish that which is so essential to success. Let organization be the watchword and let every Democrat see how many Republicans in his district will aid him in overthrowing the party that has added millions to the burdens of the people both in state and country in the last eight years.
