forming of the conference committee
10 consider the granting Of places to
the Progressives on some controlling
committee and of other things which
the executive committee did at its last
meeting. He comes close TO answering
one demand Of Mr. Perkins and Mr..
Colby, writing:
"Inasmuch as it will be q year next
June since the National Committee
had its last session, it has been my IN
tention TO call a meeting OF that 0ody
before the expiration of the year, IN
accordance with the opinion that mas
been expressed by so many members
OF the committee, in May or June next
10 take up such matters and % con
slider such questions as may be proper
" brought before the meeting A,
that time a general conference could
he had If such a course should theh
seem gest. In order that the con-
venience Of as many members OF the
committee as possible can be served, 10
has seemed best that the meeting
when held, should be in this city or
Chicago"
Not Time for Partisan Discussion
Mr.. Wilcox gives his reason for not
calling a meeting now. Il is because
the country is on "the verge OF war.
Then he saws these kind words to Mr.
Perkins and Mr.. Colby:
"This is a time when partisan dis
cussion is stilled and when the best
thought Of our people, regardless Of
party feeling, is turned to the loyal
support of the Administration at Wash
ington in all its efforts TO meet hon
orablv and fearlessly the crisis which
faces the nation. / am sure, therefore
that YOU will agree with me that this
is not the time for calling the national
committee together, but that a meet
ing should be held at a later date"
One prominent Progressive said last
night that the letter Of Mr.. Wilcox
was defiance Of the men who fol
lowed Colonel Roosevelt in 1912, and
that in his opinion the refusal TO call
the meeting would probably result IN a
third party as threatened by Mr..
Perkins.

M. E. CONFERENCE
Sixty.FOurth Session vii! Be Held in
 Philadelphia December ,.

Kingsland, Nov. 21.-Tue Sixty fourth session of the Little Rock An nual Conference of the Meth odist Epis- copal Church, South, w.ll be held in Philadelphia December 5, w:ta Bishop M9zon presiding. The prospects are that reports will show this to have been the greatest year in the history of the conference in many respects, it is announced. This has been the best Sunday School year in point of in creased attendance more complete or ganizat!on and financially, all because of the work of Field Secretary c. N. Baker of Little Rock, it is said.
 The Rev H. F. Buhler has made it the best League year in the history Of tte conference and the educational in- terests of the church have made stei" ly progress resara:-ss of the many call, for money. min tiers say.
 The prospects are also that there will be few moves this year. Not presiding elder will be moved on ac- count of the time limit of four years and only three preachers have served out their four years.
 The Rev. Marion s. Monk at Camden Station in Camden District will have finished quadrennium, and may be placed in one of the strongest places in the conference. The Rev. J. w.. Harrell of Malvern Station has done four years work and will move on account of the time limit. J. D.. Dunn of Blevins, and w. T. Manard of Co., lumbus. both of the Prescott district will move on account of the four-year limit. The Rev. P. c. Fletcher of First 'Texarkana in the Texarkana District has served quadrennium and will move to one of the best stations.
 Delegates to the General Conference next May will be elected. The attitude of the conference, toward the reforms propos ed by some laymen willno doubt be tested. g, .. z Hot springs. Benton, Pine Blufl, Little .Rock, Camden and Texarkana
