STATE PARTY CONSTITUTIONS ARE
NEEDED AT THE STATE OFFICE.

On account of there being some amend
ments to the constitution proposed, 1t
has been considered advisable not to
have any printed until those are dis
posed of. Therefore the stock on hand
in the state Office. is short. In order to
have some on hand to supply the wants
of the membership the state secretary
now asks that any organization that has
a few on hand they can spare will
please send them by mail to the state
office. We will return to you the postage
it cost to send them and when the new
edition is printed we will send you the
same number of the new ones that you
have sent in now. The amendments that
are now effective will be pasted in them,
SO they will be all right. Don't wait till
next month, nor even next week., but
send them now. Next week we will let
you know if we need any more.
