Representative Henry c. Loudenslager, of New

tee during the absence of Representative McKin-

THE letter states the situation thoroughly and Is
a clear, concise and forceful document 1t will
glad that it was published"
Most of the meetings arranged thus far will be
in Nebraska. Indiana and Kansas Representa-
tive Loudenslager ascribes the lack of enthus-
asm the Congressional meetings to the late
ness of the nominations When the nominations
and the candidates selected the COM
mittee will be in position to start things with
a rush. The nominations were formerly made
about September l. but this year they will not
be completed till next week This delay holds up
a large amount of active work that would be done
The Congressional committee is working along
the same lines the national committee and is
in perfect harmony with it. Now and then re-
quest is received for a speaker, which the Con-
gressional committee cannot supply. Then it
turns to the speakers bureau of the national
mittee, which is usually able to provide
