- savannah delegation to the state
n+ion of the Travellers Protec-
w. Association returned from At
w Yesterday morning. They are all
aood spirits and greatly pleased with
49, - trip and their stay in the Capital
they considered that the work
.he convention will rebound to the
..rest of the organization, and that,
,.h the entertainment they enjoyed
.,e hands of Post B. the Atlanta
nost conspired to make them well con-
tent
..itions of Importance in the state
,onization. These were Mr.. w. e.
T-,nson Mr.. Max Krauss and Rev. Ed.
= Cook Mr.. Vinson was elected one
- the vice presidents, Mr.. Krauss was
.I.o+ad chairman of the Railroad Com
r,i+tee. and Mr.. Cook was reelected
state chaplain.
Mr. Vinson has long manifested a
oraat interest in the T. p. A., and
Vic domination from Post A for a vice
Tresidency. was in recognition of his
long connection with the post and the
benefit he has been to it.
Mr. Krauss was made chairman of
the Railroad Committee. one of the
most important of the standing COM
r,ittees. because of the ability he dis
Waved as chairman of the Railroad
Committee of Post A. Through his eff
forts several valuable concessions were
ATTAINED from the railroads. One of
these was an order from the Plant Sys-
tenn and the Seaboard Air Line per-
hitting drummers to ride on freight
trains. The convention passed a reso-
luton of thanks to these roads for this
concession. Mr.. Krauss was the unan-
iu1Ous choice of the convention for the
Craftsmanship of the state committee.
Mr.. Cook is popular with the T. p.
AS. He was formerly chaplain of the
Savannah post. His earnestness has
been of help to the members of the
organization in Savannah.
Next year the state convention will
be held in Savannah, where it has not
been held since 1897. The Savannah
T. P AS are already talking about
the good time they expect to show
their visiting brothers. They declare
that they will make the convention
the finest that has ever been held in
Georgia I'VE will have Joe Loven-
stein to help u.s." they say. "Of course
he can't pull off a badger fight again,
but he has originality enough to hit
upon some other feature that will be
as greatly enjoyed as was that fierce
encounter between the badger and the
bull dog"
Mr.. Krauss was seen about the trip
Of the delegation, and he was as en-
thusiastic as usual about the T. P.
AS I'VE had an immense time" he
declared TOO much can't be said
about the treatment we received from
Post 3. We are going to work with
a will, though, and we hope to be able
to show our Atlanta visitors even an
improvement over their own hospital
ity
"One thing that delighted all of the
Savannah boys was the way they saw
Col EstiH showing strength in Fulton
county in his race for Governor. Ev-
erything looks like his influence in
that county is on the increase, and
those who are opposed to him are not
as confident as they were. Col. Estill
met with the T. P. AS, and he gained
accessions to his already great
strength among them"
In speaking of his work as chair
man of the Railroad Committee, Mr..
Krauss said that it is his purpose to
promote a better understanding be-
tween travelling men and the railroads
which, he said, should be brought
closer together 1t will also be his
effort to more thoroughly organize the
several posts for railroad work, and
he hopes by this means to accomplish
more with the railroads of the state.
