It is requested by the committee
and those interestaa In the organiza-
tion of the United Provident Associ-
ation that there be complete repres-
entation of all the lodges, churches,
and any other organization that will
affiliate.
There seems to he some feeling
that for an organiatlon to affllilate
with this united organization that it
would keep them from doing any In-
dividual work that they might wish
to undertake.
This Is not the object of the as-
sociation, but rather to protect the
different efforts in the charitable line
from being duplica.ed. It often hap-
pens that several different organiza-
tions are assisting the same party at
the same time. Through the united
effort of all with a central bureau
this can be eliminated, for before
assisting anyone it can he ascertain-
ed through this Association if they
are being assisted by others.
It is hoped Chat there will be a
complete representation at the meet-
ing set for next Monday, Nov. 2nd,
at the City Hall in the council cham-
ber.

gressional campaign draws to a
close the democratic managers here
take a most optimistic view of the |
situation. They are confident that
tho country will emphatically sus-
tain the administration. In a state-
ment issued today the congressional
campaign committee says the elec-
tions will result in tho gain of five
senators and that the house will bo
democratic by a majority of at least
seventy-five.

battle grounds of the contest. It is
considered close but democratic
leaders are confident A. Mitchell

gressives.
Other senatorial gains counted on
are the election of Ambassador Ger-
erj over Wads worth of New York;
