Of the American Mtter, thought that tho most
r., feasible plan Tor tho Association to build up

men to travel round tho country and form

ton would bo attended by the duly-appointed
deloga les Of these branch associations. Ho
ately, as IN two years many Of tho gray-headed
memhers Of the Association would layo passed

Mr. Linton thought that until there WAS money
euough Ill the treasury to guarantee the employ
nont Of paid Secretary to travai and form State
but the gradual growth Of tho National and State
Associations.
