THE FARMERS UNION
ANNUAL CONVENTION
Convened in Little Rock this
Morning With President
Lewis in the Chair.

Little Rock, August 4. j. B.
Lewis, president Of the Farmers
Union Of Arkansas, called the
annual convention to order in
the auditorium rink building this
morning at 10 O'Clock. There
were fully SOC delega ties present
at the time the convention was
called to order, as they had been
coming in droves all night long.
Ben Griffin, secretary, occupied
his position on the rostrum near
President Lewis. After the or
ganization of the convention, Mr..
Lewis delivered his annual ad-
dress. commenting upon t h e
growth of the order, the absence
of dissention and the progress
made in the handling of the cot
ton crop, the results being so sue
cessful that the middle man may
in time be eliminated. President
Lewis referred only in passing
to the charges of the union en-
tering into politics, saying they
were unfounded and unfair and
detrimental to the order, and
counseled member from making
such charges.
After this the COMMITTEES to au-
dit the books of the officers, to
handle resolutions, platform and
other COMMITTEES, were appointed
and got down to work. This af-
ternoon the time will be spent in
having talks from various men,
bers. Tomorrow Ben L. Griffin
will the secretary's annul report.
The election of officers will also
take place then. 1t is thought
that Lewis will be reelected, but
there are several candidates out
for Secretary Griffin's job.
