We learned of the campaign aids we will get from national headquarters and the National Na-tional Committee got a better understanding un-derstanding of our problems. It is encouraging that Chairman Bailey takes such a keen interest in politics poli-tics at the local level and realizes the importance of precinct workers in the final election results. "One of the important things we stressed was communication between be-tween national headquarters and precinct workers. I am starting a drive to get every Democratic worker wor-ker in Millard County to subscribe to THE DEMOCRAT, the official party newsletter, in order to obtain ob-tain the facts about the issues so Important to victory this year." the connection with Redwood Road.
