In pursuance, therefore, Of this de-

meet at Window hall, in the city of Min

the success of the Convention, but will

tuition, AS 1t now stands, requires that all
elections of officers shall take place
"within forty days after the adjournment
OF the National Convention, to-wit: First,
State election: ID, County election; Sd,
Division election" Now, Sections 2 and
5, of Article II, Of the Bylaws, pro7ides
for the election of the Board of Directors
of the Division, and an Insurance Secre-
tary. Sergeant-at~ Arms. Door~Keeper
and Marshal, annually, at the first
regular meeting of the Division after the
adjournment of the State Convention y
We would suggest that in case where chs
first regular meeting Of Division after
the adjournment of the State Convention
will fall outside of the forty day Limit
fixed by the Constitution that timely ar
rangements be made to call special meet
ings OF the County Board and Of said
Division for the purpose Of the election
of officers ELS prescribed by the Constit,a-
tion. In all probability only six of the
| forty days will fall after the adjournment
Of tine State Convention.

| meeting, securing when he buys his
! ticket certificate from the ticket agent,

countersigned by the State Secretary, be-

ing parts Of the same system, but the rule
is that where the journey is made over
| more than one line it is necessary for the
passenger to purchase separate local
ticket and procure certificate therefor
for each Of the lines travelled over, The
ticket agent will instruct you upon these
poiots upon your request. Failure to

for reduction in return fare.
