event at Philadelphia. They argue that outside
of the facilities which their city can boast Of
for such a gathering. the large increase Of
members In the division this year demands that
some recognition be accorded to that State.
Throughout the East, Philadelphia, 1t 10
claimed, will receive n strong vote. 1t has been
