and if their men were nominated they
would then pay up.
| w. d. Sherman proposed that those
delinQuhnts who wished to vote should
come forward and pay up before the

signs of appreciation.

grouped themselves in all parts of the
room and discussed their respective
candidates. re

He left one name for the real estate
men to supply; he was afraid of losing
advertisers.
Several other tickets were handed in,
and Mr.. Lawrence proposed the ap-
pointment of new committee OF seven
to consider these tickets and make up q
slate from them.
At the suggestion of W. Il. Sells, it
was decided to proceed to vote and
select the eleven names receiving the
highest number of votes.
THE PROXIES.
Arthur Brown said that he had seen
several members cast more than one
vote, and he wanted to know how this
was done when no proxies had been
passed upon.
HI. Grant and R. W. Sloan con-
tended that written proxies were al
loWable under the bylaws, and after a
hot discussion between Brown and
Sloan, the latter downed his man in
good shape and the chair ruled that
these gentlemen were right, and that
the teliers, Messrs. Lawrence and Siegel,
could pass upon the proxies.
THE VOTE.
The vote was then counted, pro-
ceeding that took al hour and half,
and finally the Secretary announced
