The fact that this is the first meet
ing of the League since the death Of
its founder and president, DR.. Wash
ington, emphasizes the importance of
this session and the citizens of Great
er Kansas City should feel a certain
sense of pride in making the meeting
success. This can be done by sup
porting the various committees ap-
pointed by the local League and by
turning out in large numbers to all the
sessions.
In no section of the country did
Mr.. Washington have more admirers
and friends than in Greater Kansas
City, and many recall his last visit
here some years ago and the profound
impression which he made at that
time. Consequently these friends will
pack Convention Hall to its capacity

the occasion of the Memorial exerci-
ses in honor of his memory.
