When the business session of the
supreme camp adjourned this after
noon, the delegates and visitors start
ed on trolley ride over the lines of
the Tri-City Railway company, as
guests of the Rock Island business

the visitors a trip about the three
cities in automobiles, but owing to
the large number to be cared for it
was found impossible to provide a
sufficient number of machines, and it
was not desired TO slight any of the
guests.
The result was that the next best
thing was done. and this afternoon the
visitors were placed on cars in front
of the New Harper ana commenced a
journey of a score of miles over the
various lines. 1t was planned to visit

RIVALS OVERSHAOOWED
Literature Especially Gotten Out for
the Occasion Being Distrib-
uted Among Delegates.

With the election of officers over,
one of the matters TO receive the ct
tention of the delegates to the Royal
Neighbors' camp will be the meeting
place for the convention three years
hence.
Minneapolis women and those of the
northwest are making a systematic
and earnest effort to land the 1917
meeting for Minneapolis. Probably
none of the cities seeking the next
meeting has for workers a body of wo-
men more enthused or laboring more
devotedly than the city of -four mills.
Minneapolis, it is claimed. is being
favored by the majority of the dele
gates. Two reasons are given for this,
one being that it is more centrally To-
Gated than any of the ether municipal
tiles after the meeting, and the second
is, that Minneapolis is deserving of
the meeting from the viewpoint of the
interest taken in the society in the sec
ton which surrounds the Minnesota
metropolis.
Using a Pamphlet.
Workers for Minneapolis are passing
out to the delegates pamphlets of %
pages. which contain a description of
the city. The literature was issued by
the Minneapolis Civic and Commercial
association, and is very handsome.
From cover to cover, il is illustrated
and printed in colors and is tribute
to the enterprise of the association
which compiled il. The front cover
contains beautiful scene with lake
in the foreground. On the front bind
ing appears: "Minneapolis-the City
of Lakes and Gardens"
Below the index on the second page,
appears this claim: 'At the Geograph-
ical Center of North America and the
Head of Navigation on the Mississip-
pi River"
The reading matter gives a very
short. but interesting picture of the
city. description of its beauty and of
many Institutions including the arm
DRY. hotels, hospitals. court house.
churches and chamber of commerce.
a guide TO the city and bird's-eye
view are also included.
Among the other cities seeking the
are Albany. n. Y, Cleve-
land. Ohio. and Jacksonville, Fla. How
ever. Minneapolis is making the great
est campaign since there are more Wis
TORS and delegates from the Mime
sofa metropolis here.
