The lime is now rapidly approaching
for the opening of the

conclude with the precinct, club
reorganization of the the Demo- (
eratic party throughout the State j

tiotiH will be held in each of the j
counties. Then will come the |
Stale convention, which will have ;
to face the problem of the arrange- i
ment of a State campaign which
will >^ive the candidates some lit- t
tic chance of bcintf seen, at least, i
if not heard. The convention will
also have to face the problem of
arranipne a pledge for the participantst
in tin* primary if such a (
'step prevails. There is at present |
considerable talk of this matter, hut |
whether anything will come of it j
remains to he seen. These two 1 j

lonelily discussed in the county ,
conventions, and perhaps even in t
the precinct meetini^s. v
