convention here beginning next Monday.

| here today representing Chairman Milton
Park OF Dallas, Tex, and other leaders.
! Parker had just returned from Texas, where
he was comforting with National Chairman
Park and he engaged the Lyceum today for

the congressional elections are held the con-
vention Is called for next week because OF
the very low rates on the railroads that
can be had next week to Cincinnati and the
fact that members of the Grand Army of the
Republic from the western states, who will
be here then, insist upon having a general
conference at least, even If the delegate con-
yention should have been called off. Among
those who will be in attendance are Thorn as
