CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Catholic Young Men's National Union The Catholic Summer School at Plattsburg, New York, is a direct outgrowth of the National Union plans for its establishment having been discussed and approved at the conventions, and carried into effect by Warren E. Mosher, the secretary of the National Union at the time, and the founder of the Summer School. In 1878 the National Union inaugurated the movement for obtaining appointments of a greater number of Catholic chaplains to the army and navy -- a movement which was entirely successful. The reorganization also created the office of the spiritual director, who is practically the senior officer of the National Union, and is supreme in all matters affecting faith and morals. www.newadvent.org /cathen/10712a.htm

CPL African Americans and National Party Convention History: A Chronology However, for the two conventions prior to 1868 ( 1860 and 1864) held in Chicago, and indeed, for many of the national conventions held afterwards, one had to rely on the parties' platforms for any mention of African Americans. After serving as a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1868 and to the national Republican convention in 1868, Pinchback was elected to the state senate and as Lieutenant Governor. In Chicago, the Republican National Committee defeated the "lily whitism" of Southern delegates to the national convention, and also required that African Americans be admitted to state and district conventions. www.chipublib.org /002branches/woodson/wncovention.html

Chp 10: Kindling a New National Grand Council Fire, Native American liberty and the U.S. Constitution, "Exemplar Of Liberty" In the midst of the Constitutional Convention in recalling such American Indian stories, Franklin was playing the role of "philosopher as savage." Certainly, Franklin and Rush's association with the Constitutional Sons of Saint Tammany and their use of American Indian imagery was on their minds in the summer of 1787. Even this would not satisfy; the fifty families would soon dissolve their union, and nothing would ever content them short of the complete individual independence of the Mohawks; for it may be depended on, that individual independence is what every unthinking human heart aims at, nearly or remotely. For instance, William Livingston, delegate to the Constitutional Convention from New Jersey, had lived for a year among the Mohawks at the age of fourteen and was quite familiar with the ideas of the Iroquois. www.ratical.org /many_worlds/6Nations/EoL/chp10.html

CNN/AllPolitics.com - Election 2000 - The Republican National Convention Dole, a former chairman of the Republican National committee, was a pragmatic conservative with an established reputation as an effective, sometimes vicious campaigner. Before 1940, the task of choosing a vice presidential nominee was left to party leaders and convention delegates, who awarded the second spot as a consolation prize to disparate factions who lost out during the presidential selection process. During the lull between the primaries and the conventions, the names of potential running mates float among print and television media outlets across the United States. www.cnn.com /ELECTION/2000/conventions/republican/features/running.mates

Attack on the National Miners’ Union Convention It is important to note that the convention of the miners was charged with being a convention of the Communist Party and that in the charges all blame was placed against the National Miners’ Union. The forces of the National Miners’ Union were protecting themselves effectively, and were beating back the thugs despite the fact that the latter were armed with weapons of all sorts. At the party fraction meeting on the Saturday night preceding the opening of the convention, it became clear from the reports that were given that difficulties were to be expected from the Lewis machine, and that preparations should be made to make certain that the convention would be held. www.marxists.org /history/usa/parties/cpusa/1928/09/attacknmu.htm
