I he above call having been received in

rep .eSentative men, a citizens meeting
was held, at which the unanimous senti-
ment was in harmony with the purposes
of the proposed convention and the un-
de.si-.ed were constituted committee

the cooperation. support and attendance
Of the representatives Of the surrounding

Of Tins movement cannot be over estima-
ted. and we urge you,if in sympathy with
it, TO take immediate steps TO the end
that your county may be fully represent

The meeting at which the undersigned

gates attending the mass convention
should have been selected in all the
counties, where possible. by conventions
calle>i for that purpose, IN order that the
jamestown convention may be repre-
sentative ga,heling The oliginators of
the call having lett the basis of represent
tGtion to the Judgment Of the differen-
counties, Stntsman county deemed it
proper and in it's own case adopted the
same basis of representation used in Sc
lectiug delegates to the Waterfowl con-
gressonal convention in August last; at
the same time this committee believes
that larger representation is very de-
sirable. for its moral effect. and it is the
belief of ibis committee that all duly del
egat ed representatives from any county
Will be a'tmict ed and welcomed. Adyices
already received Indicate that many
counties are intending to send much
larger representation than indicated
above.
