To Meet in Chicago

Washington, Nov. l2-tAP)
Republican leaders will meet
in Chicago January 10 and II
to select Il date and place for
the 1911 national convention
which the COP hopes will be
the Springboard for return to
national political power.
Chairman Harold T.. Spanglcr
today issued call for the meet
ing 10 bc held at the Stevens
hotel. The LOG national COM
mittcc members and % state
chairmcn and vice cIairmcn
were invited. making il Il dou-
bic barrclcd affair.
Spanglcr has been meeting state
Chairmcn IN regional groups on
swings about the country. This will
be the first time he has had them
all together since his election to
the craftsmanship last December.
The Democrats also are en-
prctcd Ia meet in January 10
diIdnS' I"T tnclT convention.
Both parties in the past have
held these sitc-ScIccting confer
cnccS in Washington. But
Spanelcr said transportation diff
iiculticS dictated the choice of a
centrally located city.
F'or similar reasons. both parties
have been urged by Defense Trans
por'atiun Director Joseph y. East
man to hold their conventions in
Chicago. Because tho midwest prov
cd the COPS most important strong
hold IN the 1912 icCCtions and Will
he main battle-ground in 1914. the
Republicans more than likely will
choose Chicago or some other mid
western metropolis Tho Democrats
also arc leaning toward Chacgo.

TinshOp Loses More Men to Uncle Sam

The main yard tinshop hes been losing men weekly to the armed forces, and the most recent of these --at press time-are the following
 Jesse Claude Hinton or Shorty. {. whose home is in Arkansas. Shor- ty, as were all the fellows, was very we'll liked, and his good na~ ture, regardless of his size, was ina- menSe.
 Bob Mcfarland, whose home is in Mississippi, did not go in the ser- vice but found employment in his home town, so naturally took ad- vantage of the opportunity.
 Gene Dyer, he with the wavy hair, also left last week for the armed forces. Gene tried very hard to get into the air force, but be- cause of slight weakness in enc eye, was rejected. He claims he stuffed and stuffed himself with carrots trying to improve his eye sight, but was unsuccessful. and was very much disappointed. Such an attempt should be well reward ed.
 The members of the sheet metal shop join in wiGhing these boys. and all the others whom we have neglected to mention. the best of luck, and we sincerely hope to sec them all soon when this war is won, and as they all say, When we win 1t for you."
