An important Convention.

announcements have been
made through the press of Louis
lana, Texas and Mississippi CALL
ing a convention of commercial
clubs to be held in New Orleans
on the 14th and 18th of the present
months at which time there will
be meeting of the Southeastern
Passenger Association. This move
has created much interest through
out these three States and it is ex-
pected that the con invention will be
a large and representative one.
Every community which has a
commercial club, industrial assoc
citation. agricultural association,
manufacturing association or any
sort of a DOM bination of citizens
whose chief object is to upbuild
the community in which they ex-
ist will be welcome at this con-
vention. 1t is the desire that the
commercial clubs of the three
States unite with the heads of the
passenger departments of the sew
eral railroads coming into New
Orleans to agree upon some plan
which will largely increase the
wealth and population of Louis
lana. Mississippi and Texas by
inducing large number of immi-
grants to settle in those States.
The convention will be called to
order in the rooms of the New Or
leans Progressive Union, at 1O|
o'clock on the morning of the 14th
inst. This is a move in the right
direction and every community
should appoint delegates to this
convention, as many ideas will be
presented which will be of great
benefit to all concerned. Every
city and town is requested to ap-
point delegates at once and send
the list Of such delegates to the
New Orleans Progressive Union,
311 Baronne street. This is a
grand opportunity for every town
to add both to its population and |
wealth and we hope none will fail |
to make good usAof it.

An exchange says: cit is possi-
BILE that the socialistic vote, which
IL draws largely from the Repub-
hcan party, may increase suffi-
ciently by 1904 to reduce the Re-
publican strength to an extent
which will result In the election of
. Democratic the presidency. Re-
publicanism is responsible for
socialism and If Socialism indi-
rectly brings about the defeat of
the Republican party it will be a

that this particular section OF canvas Is not

and IL was learned yesterday that his appHca-

John Abrams. president Of the association,
said Yesterday: I'VE don't want this to be
known as Devery's organization. That's what
he wanted to get in for-nO question about Ii.
We have about eight hundred members now and
are growing rapidly. Each one of thoss men car
control at least two three votes. That's no
small political factor. Even IL he didn't control
us we'd have the name if he were member,
and 1t would put US in a bad light. General
Greene created us all special patrOmen, and
we don't want any ex-chief like Deyery to come
between us and him. We are not political
organization, anyway. Mr.. Devery would want
to make us one right away. We don't like his
methods and don't want him. That's about the
size of IL. There were of course, good many
who wanted him at flrst but they see their
mistake now. and his name won't come up
