Nearer and nearer draws the convention.
By the time this issue of the Blade gets into the hands
of its readers the Editor will have started his trip to-
wards St Louis to get ready for the big gathering.
Every day brings encouraging letters and promises
of support Others write of their intention be at the
convention, and at this writing feel justified in assert
ing that it will be of the best and largest gatherings
ever held in all America in the name of Freehought.
Letters still pouring into the Blade Office from all
sections of the country approving the plan outlined and
expressing the hope that much practical good will result
from the meeting
Remember, friends, that the meeting is scheduled for
Saturday night and Sunday November 10 and II. So

the history of our republic.
1t has been stated especially in the New York Truth
seeker that this movement for national organization is
confined "Mr Charlesworth and the Blue Grass Blade

statement concerning the situation. While Mr.. Charles
