this meeting Of the State Council here,
which has extended so far as TO the prac-
teal ignoring Of the presence OF the
body by the refusal Of two of the three
local councils to send representatives TO
the council. This action is sand to be
tho result Of a. feefrng on the part OF the
two local councils in question that they
have been wrongfuIly treated by the
Executive Board Of the State Council in
granting a charter fora new council here
IN opposition b their vigorous and
emphatic protest A committee was
long ago appointed 10 extend
a coniial and hosJItablc reception 10 the

this committee WIS withdrawn because OF
the slight claimed to have been cast upon
tho local councils, and the hitter have,
therefore, declined to take any part

council or Units proceedings. This &C
ton, it is sad, extends only to tho pres
ent body.
