About this item

This document contains various strategies for getting Whig voters to the polls in the 1841 Massachusetts election. The secretary of the Whig Central Committee urges committee members at the local level to remain active and to not become complacent after the resounding win by William Henry Harrison in November 1840. He feels the Locos (the Locofocos were a wing of the Democratic Party) have the plans and the organization to ensure that they get all their voters to the polls and itemizes ways for the Whig Party to do the same.
