since then VIC have received letter
from the chairman Of the county CEN

rs chairman Of the Barber county CEN
trail committee, we have suggested that
instead of Anthony, that Attica be Sc
lected rs the place and July 18th as the
time for the meeting OF the judicial

access to any delegation as Attica or
even Harper, and therefore we will IN.
vor either of the latter places. And to
settle the matter we will now move that
the convention be held at Harper on
Saturday, July 18th, at o'clock T.. N.
That will allow the delegates from
Sumner, Barber and Comanche coun-
Ties to get there ON the trains and the
delegate from Harper county can GER
tainly go down from Anthony without
inconvenience.
