ID. w. MichauX, of Texas, looms up
as the probable successful candidate
for president of the T. P. A. next year.
His is the only name yet announced
to come before the Peoria convention.
Brother Michaux is popular mem
Der in Texas and is we'll and favor
ably known throughout the associa-
ton. Born in New Orleans, and arriv-
ing at manhood, he located at Hous
ton, Texas. He has been president of
the Texas division and has been at
all times leading member of the
Texas division. He was candidate
for national president at Philadelphia,
and his refusal there to be party to
a scheme that was being Matched
marked him a man of honor-Terre
Haute Star.
Lewis, Lebo, Shreeve and Co., have
made their trip to James Lake, fished
for 21a days and caught a satisfactory
quantity of fish, are now engaged in
telling a satisfactory quantity and
quality of fish stories. Altogether that
much talked of trip will go down in
history as one of Jim Lewis Choice
Expeditions. Quite a long story could
be written regarding Lebo and
Shreeve, but the writer, whatever his
opinion of the gentlemen in question,
may be, has high regard for their
families and will spare them the pain
of seeing cold blooded facts in print

Jim Lewis caught pike" that
weighed 61a pounds. How does that
tally with what he told you about it?
1t is only a few days till our ma
tional convention convenes. Our dele
gates should post themselves thor
oughly on the questions that will come
up for consideration.
The failure of a delegate in any ma
tional convention depends on his in
terest in T. p. A. affairs and his know
ledge of the aims and purposes of the
organization. Delegates like Congress
men are more valuable after they have
attended numerous conventions and
kept in close touch with the workings
of the association between conven-
lions. Too frequently posts lose sight
of these qualifications and recon-
mend members as national delegates
whose chief object is good time and
only want to go when the convention
is held in an interesting place Really
posts should seek their delegates to
recommend rather than DELEGATES
seek to be recommended. The writer
is not aiming at the excellent person
ell of our delegates. past nor present,
but anyone who has attended nasional
conventions will notice that this state
of affairs is too often the case. The
divisions who are heard in convention
are those who send their very best
men time after time.
