FEDERATION OF DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

A convention of delegates representing the democratic clubs of Indiana is hereby called to meet at the Grand Hotel in Indianapolis, Wednesday, September 9, 1908, beginning at 11 o’clock, for the purpose of fully perfecting she permanent organization of The Indiana Federation of Democratic Clubs. The basis of representation in this convention shall be one delegate for every 25 democrats in club affiliation and one delegate for the fraction thereover. Clubs which have been organized are urged to make immediate selection of delegates, with alternates, while in wards and townships where clubs have not been organized, we would urge immediate organization with the election of delegates and alternates to participate in the labors of this convention. It is the earnest desire of the temporary organization, which was perfected at Lafayette, to proceed at once with a systematic organization of the state, making the Indianapolis convention one which will place the Indiana Federation of Democratic Clubs into the field as a factor for the promotion of party success, perfecting an organization which will be permanent and closely ally the clubs of the state with the other forces which are working for democratic victory. The officers of democratic clubs are hereby urged to make the call which will insure the election of delegates and alternates to the Indianapolis convention, and to make report of same to Harry B. Darling, LaPorte, Indiana. GEORGE R. DURGAN, Temporary President. HARRY B. DARLING, Temporary Secretary.
