Q iitoral headed "Macune Weighed in the
Balsncs," in which you say. in substance.

In Washington, WHEN tho members OF the
naiisnal legislative con mmittcc were elsc' ed,
he Was se, aside and his place given 10 U. s.
Hall, Of The Missouri State Alliance"
8 Now LIDO not believe il is your intention
to do injustice to Mscune and hercs
wife to disabuss y ur mind and tho minds
Of your readers Of the er. onous idea that
MsCupe was even n candidate for the prsi-
ton spoken OF, much less to have b,en de-
fsated in the race for it. According to the
rsss,u; ion adopted IT Ocala, creating this
legislative committee, the committee was 10
be composed rn'y OF presidents Of S;ate al-
lisnces. Hence Macune was not eligible to
membership on th't committee, becau.e it
was 10 be composed of State presidents. and
and he was not State president. Then, Of
course, when this committee met in Wash
ibgton and elected an executive commi tee
or board, Mscune was net eligible to mem.
bership on that board, aid dill not cffer f'r
such position.
But, Mr.. Editor. 1.-the cat in the meal tub"
