On Page Nine XO THOUGHT OF CHANGING PliACE OP 1002 CONVENTION. r 8 B mmamtmmMmmmBmmmmmmma EI ( S i! National Officer Declare That Tfaere la No Foundation, for Story AboBt Otker Plan. Two weeks ago It was reported In an Associated Press dispatch that the Na tional officers of the Travelers' Protective Association of America had met at Indian apolis and discussed the project of chang ing the place of the 1902 National meet ing from Portland to some city In the Central West. Immediately upon receipt of this information Mr. A. N. Smith, president of the Oregon and Washing ton division, placed himself In telegraphic communication with the National secre tary at St. Louis. In reply Secretary La Beaume writes refuting the statement. His letter Is: St. Louis, Nov. 19. A. N. Smith, President Oregon and Washington Division, Travelers' Protective Association of America. Portland, Or. Dear Sir: I note In the Globe-Democrat or Monday a statement that at a meeting of the National officers of the Travelers' Protective Association of America at Indianapolis, the question of changing tne place of the National meeting of the association from Portland to a city in the Central West -was discussed. I desire to state that this publication Is absolute ly false. There was a meeting at Indianapolis on Saturday 'ast, at which President Jones, National Directors Crandall, McConkln and Saunders, Business Manager Burrows and the writer were present. This meeting was called to discuss a protest entered by the Indluna division In regard to the appointment of Mr. Burrows. The meeting convened at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and adjourned about 6:30. At no time during this meeting was the matter of time or place of holding the next National convention discussed, and I cannot understand how any such statement was published In tho paper. I will state further, that the matter of changing the place of holding the convention has never been discussed at the board meet ings. It Is true that we have had some letters from parties regarding this matter, claiming that It was not a wise movement, but It has neer been brought officially before the board, nor have they been requested to take any ac tion In regard to the changing of the place of holding the convention. What little dissatis faction has been displayed has been simply an individual matter of the members. Your telegrams In regard to this publication were received yesterday during my absence from the city, which will explain delay In an swering. LOUIS T. LA BEAUME. National Secretary Travelers' Protective Asso ciation of America. In continuing his correspondence Mr. La Beaume says In his letter of November 25, "You ask, can the National officers, if they desire to do so, make a change? I should say- that they cannot make a change unless the city to which the con vention was voted falls to perform their part of the agreement."
