CONVENTION
October 22, 23 and 2l Selected Daughters of Confectionery to
 Meet at Same Time.

Thomas Green Sr., of this city, major general commanding the Ar- kansas Division of the United Con- fedcrate Vetrans, has issued gen. cral order in which he announces that the state convention of the Ar kansas veterans is to be held in Lit tie Rock on October 22. 23 and A. These dates were selected by General Green because the state convention of the Daughters of the Confectionery is also to be held at the capital on the same days. General Greens order, which is also signed by Ad1utant General and Chief of Staff A. }. Saodgrass, follows:
 "The Commanding General, after careful consideration and after hay in received official communications from both the Daughters of the Con- federacy and Omar K. Weaver of LitA tie Rock, requesting me to select the above named City for our Annual State Convention, for the reason that the State Convention of the U. D. c. will meet there on October 22, 23, 24. also that it will be mutually pleasant for the two organizations to enjoy the social and fraternal features pro- vided for the occasion, believing also that meeting of the two organiza- tions on the same dates and in tho same City will have tendency to promote the best interests of both and afford an opportunity for social pleasure that would doubtless prove beneficial and gratifying to all con- cerned.
 "I have therefore changed my original plan of convening our next meeting in Pine Bluff. and take pleas ure in announcing to my Staff and the Camps constituting this jurisdic- ton, that our next convention will be hel din the city of Little Rock, open- ing at 1 o'clock D.. m. on Wednesday. October the 22nd, and continuing the 23nd, and 24th, the dates selected by the U. D. c. for their annual sessiCn.
 ''The Commanding General urges the importance of large attendance and all Camps in arrears with their dues, either with the State or general organization, should at once proceed to forward to Gen. Nickel, New Orleans, 1Oc per capita for all mem- bers in good standing, also delinquent States dues to these headquarters, 5c per capita.
 This is imperative, as the consti- tuition bars all delinquent Camps from representation, either in the State or Normal organizations. Ano- ther important matter to which de- sire to call the attention of all Camp. in this state, is recommendation made in his annual report by my im- mediate predecessor. Gen. c. c. Coffin flor whose judgement | have pro- found respect-also precedent al- ready set by the State Chapter U D. c. and rigidly enforced at their meet ing held in the city of Pine Bluff, in 1912. prohibiting the use of proxy's at our Annual State Conventions. Camps eligible to representation should by all means elect delegates and alternates, on basis of one dele gate to every 20 members, or majority faction of tweny. providing them with credentials signed by the Commander and Adjutant of their Camps; remem- Der also that each Camp is entitled to two delegates Syen if the Camp has less than twenty members.
 "A camp not Sufficiently interested Fto Send representative to the State Convention, has no legal or moral right-in my opinion-to proxy rep. reseatation.
 Commanders of Camps are there
 fore urged by your Commanding Gen.
 eral to call their respective Camps together as early as practicable, for
 the purpose of providing delegates to
 represent them at our State Conven-
 tion in October. as no proxy will be l permitted or recognized. unless by
 majority vote of those present at the l convention"
