REPRESENTATION OF MISSOURI
IN THE NATIONAL WING CON.
VENTION.
In our paper of June 18th, we published
a communication suggesting that the Wings
Of Missouri hold district conventions, for
the purpose of electing delegates to the
National Wing Convention, which is pro-
posed 10 be held in Baltimore in May next
Our correspondent proposed that each of
the counties in this district select double
the number of their Representatives in the
General Assembly, to meet in convention
at some suitable point in the district, and
choose a delegate 10 represent us in the
National Convention. Huntsville is sug
gested as a suitable place for holding the
Convention. There now appears to be no
difference as to the mode of proceeding
among the Wing papers, all concurring in
the suggestions of our correspondent.
The time for talking is past-action is
now necessary. Are the Wings of How
ard ready! Do they feel an interest in
the advancement of their cause? Do they
not wish TO mingle their voices in the unan-
imous shout that is going up from every
section of the land for the success Of
HENRY CLAYl If they do, let them beslir
themselves, let us at some early day hold
meeting and appoint delegates to the
District Convention. 1t will not do to
postpone the matter much longer. The
convention should be held before severe
weather sets in, and in order to do this
the county meetings should be gotten up as
early as possible. Our correspondent, alu-
ded to above, suggests the Sd Monday in
November next This is as good time as
any, and if a proper degree of activity is
manifested, every thing can be ready by
that time. Wings of Ioward!-when shall
we hold our meeting?
The following is from the missouri
Statesman" The editor of the Estates
man" at first opposed the suggestions of our
correspondent, and was in favor of State
Convention; but finding majority in favor
of different mode, he announces himself
ready for action, as follows:
1.-THE time for ACTION should never be con.
sumed in TALKING about action. Touching de.
tails and preliminary steps for organization, no
party ever has, or ever will attain entire unan.
unity. So far as the Wing press Of Missouri has
spoken there is diversity Of sentiment as to the
manner Of appointing delegates to the Baltimore
Convention Of May, 1914. All agree, how.
ever, that it is due the cause.-the countryside
great and glorours principles we advocate, and
the eminent Statesman 10 honor whom it is alike
our pride and pleasure, that Missouri should be
epresented-ably and fully represented-n that
Convention.
It's no use 10 consume time about MOD Es
when each one that has been suggested is equally
consistent with right and justice. WE have our
predictions and they have been expressed. So
have others theirs. But our preference for a
General State Convention empowered to do all
proposed TO be done by Conventions in the sew
eral Districts, has never assumed, nor pretended
to assume an rreconciabe character. As to
the MODE, if that mode be consistent with the
noble purposes Of our party, we are with our
party, even il to be so a REIMBURSEMENT Of our
own individual preference has to be made.
Enough has been said and done to convince
US that the Wings of Missouri are generally in
favor Of District Conventions So are we then
in favor of them. Well let US debate no lon
ger and forthwith START THE BALL! There
must be beginning made somewhere. Where
shall it BE-? NHres OF BOONE! are you ready?
Shall we hold Convention in this DSlrcp?
And if So WHEN shall VIZ hold meeting N this
county to appoint our quota of DeIegareSl Lei
US act, for action is expected of US by our
brethren throughout the State. The Wings al,
all times have need Of the hearty co operation
of every true friend Of the cause, bot more espe.
cially at this time is assistance desirable; every
heart that can dare, head that can plan, and
hand that can strike blow, should be put in
requsition."
When will the Wings Of old Boone-the in
vincbe and incorruptible Wings Of old Boone
hold meeting and appoint Delegates 10 DIS
uct Conventon?"
