to the appointment of committees, anu
urged a permanent organization at once.
Still another member insisted that all
of the signers of the pledge be mace
members of a general committee.
Chairman Stephens said it was proper,
in his opinion, that every man who 'haa

that after the convention adjourns the
committee could meet and appoint an
Executive Committee.
The motion that all signers be in
cluded in a general committee was car
