the district to misrepresent the facts
and make it appear that there was
dissatisfaction in the home county of
iIr. Stevenson, which certainly is not
the case.
The resolution follows:
WHEREAS: Our Representative 0
Il Congress, Hon.W F. Stevenson, has
;;own himself to be the man for the
.,lace:
Resolved, That the Democratic
roy OF Chesterfield County in con-
!ention assembled hereby endorses
lis record and pledge him it's support,
and will give kim the votes of the
county ut the next election"
Resolution On Compulsory Education
WHEREAS, The war in which we
ere engaged has so thoroughly
Jrought to our attention the value Of
trained men and women.
And Whereas, The legislature has
seen fit to provide us with buildings
nd funds to carry on efficient
schools,
And Whereas, Some negligent peo-
rle are not permitting their children
% take advantage of the opportuni-
ties that the State has made for their
development.
And Whereas, The State owes it to
Itself and to the children of her
citizens that these be in school. Be
t resolved by the Democrats of Ches-
.erfield County in convention as
embed: That it is the sense of
his convention the present school
attendance law be revised and per-
fected so that it shall be operative
upon the whole State, but that any
District may petition or vote off the
operation of the said law for one
year."
The foregoing resolution on COM
'ulsory education in the county was
introduced by MIR. J. A. Knight,
county Superintendent of Education.
IN offering the resolution Mr.. Kniyh.
said in part: The law as it now
;tands makes compulsory education
possible by local option in each school
district, it being necessary for each
district in turn to petition or vote
IN the question for itself. AS a large
Majority Of the districts seem to fav-
IL the operation of the law, he
bought it only fair that the trouble
t voting or petitioning be placed or
:e minority, who do not favor it
lis idea is to make this law opera
we in the whole county, allowing
hose districts that are not yet ready
or it, u annual The same if they see
I.
Senator G. X. Laney opposed the
:esolution on the ground that the
aw was practical as it is and that he
lid not believe very large part of
he county was yet ready for it's oper-
-tion. He did not think it u proper
ubject for discussion in the county
onvention.
When put TO vote the resolution
vas lost.
The convention was harmonious
md its keynote, sounded by the va
'ious speakers, was patriotism and
oval support of the country and the
Democratic party.

WILSON PROCLAIMS
WEEK FOR RED CIc-S

Washington, May 7.-Presiden;
Wilson today issued procla,na'i2l
designating the week beginning May
20 as "Red Cross Week" and calling
upon the American people to con.-'
butte generously to the second $780,
100000 war fund of the American
Red Cross for the alienation of suf-
fering among the American troops
IN France and their dependents at
home and among the fighting forces
and civilian populations of the allied
countries. The proclamation follows:
"Proclamation
"lnasmuch as the war fund Of
1917, so generously contributed by
the American people to the American
Red Cross for the administration of
relief at home and abroad, has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
tons for the welfare of the men in
our military and naval forces, and
for those dependent upon them, and
for the yet urgent necessities of our
allies, military and civilian, who have
long borne the brunt Of war.
And, inasmuch as the American
Cross war council and it's commits
Red Cross has been recognized BY
law as the instrumentality for war
relief.
Great Demands Met
And inasmuch as the year of our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands nm
on the patriotism and liberalily of
people and made evident the necessi
ty of concentrating the work of re-
lief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and uniycr
sally to the needs of humanity un-
der stress of war
And, nasmuch as the duration OF
the war and the closer and closer CO.
operation of the American Red Cross
with our own army and navy with
the governments Of our allies, and
with foreign relief organizations have
resulted in the discovery of new or
rortunities of helpfulness under con-
ditions which translate opportunity
into duty.
And, inasmuch as the American
I'd Cross war council and its commits
'nerS in Europe have faithfully ard
economically administered the peo-
lle's trust.
Week of May 20.
Now, therefore, by virue of my
authority as president of tn. United
States and president of the American
Red Cross, l, Woodrow Wilson. do
hereby proclaim the week becinir-
LAY 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week,
during which the people of the Uni
ted States will be called upon again
