method Of discovering the feeling, Of the men on
tn subject i, much more satisfactory than calling
a meeting to settle the question. Tile object IS to
90 to each man and ind out whether or not he can
get away from his business at that time Many Of
them have 10 consult their employers, and others.
who in business for themselves find 1t necessary
consider the condition Of affairs at that particular
lime.
In meeting many Of the young men would
pledge themselves to 60 at any rate. some OF them
are 80 enthusiastic that they would throw up their
position, II they found IT necessary In order TO
go with the regiment. after they hac pledged them
selves to 20 at a meeting. OF course, We do not
want anything OF that kind. because 1t would do
the regiment harm than good so each man

and give reply which could be depended upon
absolutely. In this way have learned that
there are enough who are willing 10 90. 50
that the state may not be ashamed of the turnout,
provided. ! said before, the regiment Is ordered
to Chicago by the state authorities.
Naturny the question Is one OF expense. The
members Of the regiment II they must pay their
own fare would rather 60 individually. In fact
many Of those who have promised 10 60 have already
visited the Fair. II they go again it will simply
be for the purpose Of maintaining the standard OF
the regiment. Again. matter OF TACT HE

Il small percentage Of the cost Of the trip To the
which. Of course. the State will not pay. There
doubt all about the fact that II the personal
preferences Of large majority Of the members 81
The regiment considered the trip would not
be taken under any circumstances. But they feel
that II the state Wishes To have the regiment 90
they will stinc their feelings In this respect ana
comply gladly with the wishes Of those who have
control of such matters
