The Joliet Signal points out an important
error in the call recently put forth at Chica
20 and published in to-day Stree Trader, of a
Convention Of this districtto nominate a can
didate for Congress. The call fixes the day
for the meeting of the convention on the first
Tuesday in June, while, in fact, the day fix
ed upon by the last convention was the first
WUrSGdy in June. There is no mislall
about this, as we have before us the resolu-
ton Of the last convention on the SUBJECT 1t
is in the following words:
"Rcolrcd, That the next convention of
this district he held at Ottawa, on the first
THU RSDAl in June, 1915"
The proceedings may be found in the Free
Trader Of June L., 1876, and in the State
Register of June 90, 1916.
1t would be Of little consequence whether
the convention was held on Tuesday or
Thursday, but for the fact that the former is
the day on which the commissioners courts
ofthc different counties are in session, which
would debar many from being present, who
might be anxious TO attend.
