Headquarters for the fourth quarter will be for
warded on the day prescribed by r. and r. This |
must be done not only because the law requires it,
but by reason of the additional work in preparing
for the Department Encampment, and Posts can |
avoid much confusion for themselves and the De-
before JAN ], 1885 Attention of Post Command |
is respectfully called to Sec 3 Art 4, Chap. 5,
Rules and Regulations. AT the first meeting in |
December Posts will elect officers for the ensuing
year, AS directed in Art. 7, Chap. 2, Rules and |
Regulations; delegates TO the Department En- |
campment and an equal number OF alternates in |
the ratio of one to each 80 members i'll good stand
ing Sept. 30, and additional for fractional part
over %. Each Post, whatever its numbers, will |
elect at least delegate. Blanks for officers and
herewith forwarded to be filed
out and returned TO this office immediately after the
election. The date ofthe next Department Encamp- |
ment will be announced in next General Orders. |
The Department Commander regrets that so many |
Posts have failed to forward reports. Posts which
have failed 10 report up to the third quarter have
been notified but in many instances the notice |
has been unhecded. The same Is true to some
tent OF the service cards for Pension Office, and
other reasonable requests. 1t is impossible to
manage the business of the Department when
Post Commanders neglect their duties. The
element of n political campaign. which has seri-
ously affected everything, may be excuse for
this neglect. 1t is hoped that the attention of COM
rades may be turned more earnestly 10 the work of
the Grand Army, and each one resolve to do all in
his power TO build up and strengthen the Order.
No coInrade afford to fall out of the ranks or
treat lightly the principles and objects of the Grand
Army of the Republic Our existence and success
depend on being united and faithful to the princ-
pies of our Order. Oscar Il. Barber, Commander,
Post 81, Warren Mills. Wis, desires the address of
