The executive committee reported that
the literature for distribution TO the indi-
vidual members would be ready during
the next few days. The reports from
the several lodges visited In Maryland
and the District of Columbia were very
satisfactory, showing that the lodges
were up and doing. and that many can
didates were being obtained for the de-
gree work to be conferred on the night
of November 10. The present indications
are, as regards attendance, that the audi
forum of Odd Fellows Hall will not ac-
commodate the number of Odd Fellows
who will attend the rally, and the execu-
tive committee is now considering the
procuring of a larger hall for thai occa-
sion. The indications from Virginia point
to a large representation from probably
twelve or fifteen lodges located in that
State within a reasonable distance or
Washington. Past Grand James X
Mansfield, a member of Potomac Lodge,
of Alexandria, was unanimously elected
treasurer of the rally committee. Grand
Master A. NJ. Southall, Of the turisdic-
ton of Virginia, has signified in a letter
addressed by him to Grand Master Ger
berich, the chairman OF the committee
that it is his intention. if his other en-
gagements will permit, to attend the
rally, and he has been written an urgent
letter from all three jurisdictions that
will be represented in said rally to let
nothing stand in his way, as his presence
on that occasion is greatly desired.
