Office of the State Prohibitoby
State Campaign Committee,
Raleigh, N. C, May 21, 1881.
To the People of North Carol5 ia:
The counties, townships and school
districts should be organized at once
by the appointment of the necessary
executive committees. Names of
chairmen should be sent this com
mittee. Attention of friends is call
ed to the resolutions passed by the
State convention in reference to or
ranizmg the bodies and raising con
tributions for necessr y campaign
purposes.
. The campaign should be a syste
matic one, and therefore the friends
in the various counties will consult
this committee before making ap
pointments for those who canvass the
State at large.
In each county the friends shoul
make arrangements for a thorough
canvass by local speakers. We need;
1. Thorough county, tow c ship and
school district orgp' nation.
2. The organization of the .ladies
into 'prohibitory societies' to last at
least until afte the election.
3. Funds to procure temperance
documents and detray other neces
sary and legitimate expenses.
4. System 4i the appointment
speakers who canvass the State.
5. A system in each county by
which the entire county will be trior
oughly canvassed.
A special appeal is made ' to the
friends of the movement to see that
the above is carried out.
