IOWA NATIONAL GUARD.
AIsfaaIdL Meeting Of It's association
in Cedar RdDids.

wv StSsSs AhtE(eNtos
CEDAR RAPIDS, Jan. 12.-The annual
meeting of the Iowa National Guard as
sociation was called to order in company
c armory at 1920 o'clock yesterday
morning. PresidentP W. McManus
of Davenport VIZ in the chair, and Sec
retary L. E. Baker of Toledo was at the
desk. The morning hour was given up
to the usual preliminaries of reading the
minutes of the last stmeeting, appointing
COMMITTEES on the nomination of officers
for the ensuing year, ect. When they
came together for the afternoon the
members were ready for active work
and no time was lost in getting down to
the regular business of the gathering.
The first thing in order was the report
of the committe on nominations, and
their report being accepted the follow
ing gentlemen will preside over the des-
tines of the association during the next
year:
Col. C. E. Foster of Sioux City, presi-
dent.
Col. ]. r. Lincoln of Ames. Coz. James
Guest of Burlington, vice-presidents.
Major John Hume of Des MOines,
corresponding secretary and treasurer.
Capt. c. F. Cooke of Algona, record
ing secretary.
The new officers were at once in
stalled and took up their duties.
The question of adopting new ia
tigue blouse called out good deal Of
pro and con. Some were in
favor of adopting the tlOuse recently
accepted by the regular army, while
othets thought best to wait until the
regular army had finished all the
changes liable to be made. 1t was ar
gued that changes were still being
made by the regular officers and it
would be the part of wisdom to wait
until they finally settled upon what
they wanted. Col. Cook moved that
the association request the adjutant-
gems raj to take no action in the matter
until after the next annual meeting of
the association. This called forth adj |
1itional discussion of spirited nature,
out when put to vote was lost by a |
arge majority.
The president announced the follow
ng standing committees:
LegiSlation-Gen Fl. II. Wright, Gen.
W. L. Davis, Col. p. w. McManus,
Col. L. w. Mahin, Lieut.. Col. A. w.
SWAIN, Maj John r. Prime, Maj. Clf-
ord d. Ham.
Finance-Captain Steele Kenworthy, |
capt. c. L. Root. Capt. Ed Smith.
This practically closed the work of |
he afternoon. 1t was announded that |
he next meeting would be in Des
Moines on the day following the next |
inaugu. al.
