Theyihave made a good beginning, having provided for about 200 men. As at least 100 more are to be taken care of there is much to be done yet before they will feel that they have succeeded in their work. The opening sermon of the Conference will be preached on Tuesday night, March 10, by the Rev. B. ('. Lippinooll, Jr. The Conference proper will convene on Wednesday, March 11, and will probably adjourn the following Moo Jay night or Tuesday morning, so that the Conference will be in session about As a matter of convenience and information a directory will be published by the committee giving the program of the conference, and also the list of ministers and the homes where each one is to be entertained. A copy of the directory will be sent to every minister before Conference and a copy will also be placed in every home where ministers are to be entertained.

When an executive session is held only full members of the Conference are al- ' lowed to be present. The Conference Love Feast will be at the First Church 8unday morning el nine o'clock, followed by a sermon by the bishop. The anniversaries are planned as fol-

lows;

The last session of the Conference will be held Monday night or Tuesday morning, when the bishop will read the appointments. Thia always attracts a congregation that fills the conference church to overflowing.

Mb. Editor:—lam wondering what you county Republican editors are thinking about the new politleal party Thomas H. Lawson is about to launch upon the coming Presidential campaign. His scheme is to nominate Roosevelt for President, and Governor John A. Joinson, Democrat of Minnesota, for Vice-President. Governor Johnson is the man who as elected in 1904 by 7800 plurality, when Roosevelt's majority was 161,000. Again In 1906, he -was elected by 72,000. He means something, and if those who want Roosevelt for a third term, and the bulk of the Democracy turn in for the ticket, how could there be a possible defeat? Roosevelt will not be asked to aoeept tbe nomination, but is to be voted for with the belief that he will not rtfme to serve the people who desire so much to have him persevere In hia policy (our yean longer, for the country's ike. Lewaoo U after “thesystem,” fhieh he claims is responsible tor our fljrandai and other ilia. What jto you think of it t
