|At % rccent meeting OF the Ma
bpar !, form Press Association at
|empa.., committee was appoint
for tae purpose of requesting the
lairuan Of the national committee
the Peoples Party to call meet
10 Of the national committee for the
brposc Of calling a general confer
renee Of the party. Why the as
|cia,lon did not pass a resolution
nklug this request, and have its
rnlar Ciiicers to forward the reso-
tlou 10 chairman Butler, it is hard
understand. 1t may he that this
|mmlttce which seems to be ap-
bntrd for one purpose was really
bpoIut,d for another. But how
|,r that may be, future events will
|vclop.
Ia soon as Chairman Butler re-
bved communication from this
Imml,tee for him to make the call he
Billed that he did not think the
Iding of conference at this time
visabe but that he would submit
\ matter TO the members of the ma
)naI committee by letter in order
ascertain their wishes and opin-
} IN the matter. This, Chairman
btler is now doing. But, as will
seen from the correspondence be
h the committee appointed at
emphis has not waited for him to
III the national committee, which
is his official duty to do when so
auested, but they are proceeding
write to the members of the COM
Ittee themselves; thus taking unto
|emselves the duties of the nationa,
