SENATOR BRIGE Urges the Democratic Clubs to Prepare for Action. He Thinks the Approaching: Struggle is to Be One Mainly Between Republican Republic-an and Democratic Clubs. New York, July 1. Senator Brice, chairman of the National Democratic committee has written a letter of warn-in? warn-in? and advice to his fellow members of the National Committee. The letter embodies advice in regard to the association asso-ciation of Democratic and clubs the necessity ne-cessity of the National Committee co-op erating with them. The senator begis with the statement that presidential contest is near at hand; that the Ke-publicans Ke-publicans are rapidly preparing for it and that the Democrats cannot be too circumspect or too swift in arranging to meet them. The plan of campaign of the Republicans, he says, is a colossal system of clubs to be maintained and supported by unlimited means drawn from the pockets of the beneficiaries of the monopoly policy. This system he urges can only be met by an equally extensive, system of Democratic clubs, that is. associations of people in their several neighborhoods for the defense of their rights and interests against those banded to assail them. Brice thinks the appioaching struggle strug-gle is to be one mainly between the clubs and it is greatly to be desired that a uniform and perfect system of Democratic societies, thoroughly organ ized and in intimate association with each other, shall be established before the beginning of next year. lie says he has examined the plan of organization organiza-tion now in process of successful accomplishment ac-complishment by the national association asso-ciation of Democratic clubs and he feels it the duty of every member of the national executive committee to give the club association his most hearty support and he urges each member mem-ber of the national committee to co-operate with the association to the fullest extent. The work undertaken by the executive committee of clubs is absolutely abso-lutely necessary in Brice's opinion and in his letter he states that the opportunity oppor-tunity now is presented of having it accon plished by efficient instruments at a minimum cost and that distributed over so many localities as not to be a burden to any one committee. Brice concludes his letter as follows: "An important feature of the plan is the selection of correspondents in the several states. This now requires urgent ur-gent attention in your state. I would therefore ask you to confer with the chairman of your state committee as soon as may be convenient and arrange ar-range this particular part of the plan; also that you will do all in your power to facilitate the organization in other ways that you may think best. tawrence Gardiner, secretary of the National AFS iciation of clubs, is much S leased with the position taken by Mr. irice. |
