President of the Commercial Club Savan-
nah, Ga: Dear Sir-Supplementing the
accompanying formal invitation it is
proper to earnestly address you to the
effect that the choice of delegates to this
convention is vitality important. No mis-
take should be made A convention of
foremost, able men should act wisely ana
the result should be Unreasonable good
On the other hand If the assembly is not
conducted wisely it may thwart the OBJ
ject of the call and result dIsastrously to
early recovery of prosperity and obstruct
future efforts of similar procedure on the
part of business men to promote legisla-
ton.
Steps toward a sound currency system
must be taken by broad-m .nded men, IN
spired by enlightened patriotism and free
from party prejudice or control. To this
end you are again urged to choose men
of superior ability, character and reputa-
ton, whose recommendations will be
worthy of the respect and confidence of
the people. Yours truly.

Chairman Executive Committee
IT was on account of This in vii tim bo
Mr. Moore was appointed, and he will
go to indianapolis In company with the
other delegates from SaVannah's CONNER
cial bodies at that time.
1t is the intention of the Commercial
Club to take an active interest henceforth
in all matters commercial. That Is one
of the principal objects for which the
club was organized, and 1t is now the
intention Of the officers and those most
interested In its welfare and success to
take hold of this feature and make IL the
most prominent one in connection with
the club. The social feature has hereto
fore been predominant, and the majority
of the members have looked upon the in
stitution more in a social light. Neverthe-
less, II has already been used in several
instances as commercial club, meetings
of lumbermen and other commercial men
having been held there.
In the future anything In the way of
a commercial convention In which this
section is interested, or anything which
Is for the good Of the community, will
be given due attention by the CONNER
cial Club The social features WILL of
course, be maintained, but the object for
which the club was organized, that of
being a center for the gathering of COM
mercial men and taking an interest In all
important commercial affairs, will be
pushed for all 1t is worth.
Commercial clubs In other cities have
proven themselves powers In their re-
spective communities, and have done much
for the material welfare of those interested
in them. II should be 50 with the Com
mercial Club, and every effort will be
made to push this feature prominently
forward.
