County officers are to bo chosen, aud a strong RKtrresslvc fiuht should be waged by the Lib-oral Lib-oral party, oven in counties where defeat is ertaln. Every member of our party should make an effort to Increase our vote in the territory ter-ritory over last August, when wo liollcd 6508 ballots In round numbers. The time Is at hand when the Count v conventions con-ventions should be called for the nomination of a ticket and the Selection of couutv committees. com-mittees.

To a portion the delegates upon the basts of thaeutlro vot would be manifestly unfair, for upon such an apjior-tionment. apjior-tionment. a strong Mormon precinct, with few Liberal votes, would be given representation representa-tion as great as an adjoining Liberal precinct which had the same number of votes. County committees should avoid auy such errors. The county committee chosen should consist con-sist of Ave members, and their names and jiostofllce addresses, with the names and addresses ad-dresses of candidates nominated, should be forwarded to the territorial committee Immediately Imme-diately arter each convention, by the secretary thereof. At each of the precinct caucuses, a precinct ' ounuittee of t hree should be named, and the names and addresses forwarded at once to the Liberal territorial committee. in counties where the Liberal vote is too email to justify the calling of a county convention, conven-tion, the county committees should meet and place a ticket in the field. .Make your nominations in good season, and have your tickets printed p.nd distributed early, so that a full vote may be polled. Please keep your territorial committee fully Informed as to the political situation in your respective localities. O. W. Powbrb, Chairman. C. E. ALxatf, Secretary. |
