basis Of excursion rates 10 be used for large

less rate than one fare, plus s.. for the

any meeting. efforts shall be made to have
substituted the minimum rate as recon-
mended by this committee; the additional
e in each case 10 accrue TO lines in this

The report of the committee was
adopted
Then came a stumbling block in the
shape Of fixing a rate for the annua!
meeting of the National Educational Asso-
cia ton at Los Angeles. July lila.
The situation was discussed but no con-
clusion reached, the matter going over to
tomorrow.
Probably the most important matter
taken up by the meeting Was the problem
presented by the recent reduction OF sec
ond-class rates by the Northern Pacific and
other lines TO Northwestern points.
After prolonged discussion the chair
appointed j. r. Buchanan, John Sebastian
and John +. Francis committee TO report
u plan Of operation tomorrow.
IL is likely the report will be in the nature
Of a protest, with Recommendation that
proporiionate reductions in Second-c.ass
Rates be made on al Western lines as far

MY Dear SIR: In view. of the fact that

nous support, l am anxious to know what
you think is likely TO be the attitude OF the

West IN favor Of a practical reaffirmation
OF the Chicago platform. would be glad
to know what In your opinion. is the feel
ing of The party in Your state on this ques-
ton, and whether the state is likely 10 send
q delegation 70 the next national conven-
ton ready TO co operate with what
seems to be the wish of the ma
Jority, or whether a course similar
TO that pursued by New York in
1896 is likely to be followed in case the
Chicago platform should be practically re-
affirmed. i write You OH account OF your
prominent connection with the party. and
hope You will let me hear from you
promptly on this question
