It wa» agreed to hold another meeting at an early date to perfect a permanent organisation and plan for the extension of the committee'* activitiee into edch etate and territory by providing for county and etate committees along the lines of the two

A eeannlng of the list of delegates already selected fer both national conventions will reveal the astonish)ng fact that former soldiers will have about as large a representation on the door of the convention as the peopie of Guam.

'This conspiracy to eliminate the soldiers front direct and active participation in the affairs of the two great political parties was conceived and put In operation eve* while the war was still raging. It will be remembered that no serious effort was made by either ef the two partiea to extend the rights of suffrage to the 4.SSS.900 men who were in the service. Under an act passed by parliament English soldiers and sailors exercised the right of suffrage whether they were serviag . n France. Italy. Sooth Africa or on the high seas with the fleet. During the civil war our soldiers voted on the battle-
EMds.
"The t.JOS.Sd# men on discharge from the service found that the organizations of their respective parties were in the hands of a few men who stayed at home- What our committee wishes to do is to force some recognition for ex-service men in the affair
