Boston, April I.-A..e annual meeting
OF the state advisory board OF the Ameri-
can Protective association was held In
this city on Tuesday. There were 81
members present, representing all parts
OF the commonwealth. The state presi-
dent, Levi +. s. Davis OF Somerviile, pre-
sided.
Committees were appointed to repre-
sent the IL congressional districts OF the
state. The report of the executive COM
mittee was submitted and showed that
1T the last election a subcommittee re-
ported In favor of w. Murray Crane for
lieutenant governor. There were 739
members OF the organizR ton in the Re-
publican state convention holding the
balance of power and voting as a unit.
The report, continuing. says that very
few of our members have been elected
To positions OF honor and trust. We have
a large representation In the general
court. composed of men of good charac-
ter, ability and influence
We were unusually successful in
electing our members IN high official
pC sitions in the several cities and towns
OF the commonwealth. and as members
of the various political committees.
We have stood by the Republican
party, because Ii has through its conven-
tions recognized most of the principles
OF our Observation-Disclosures of immi-
grafton, separation of church and state
and no public funds for sectarian pur-
poses.
We have In the senate OF the United
states and national house Of represen-
tatives over l25 members Of our O. Ser
many Of whom have q n2tonal reputa-
ton.
The passage Of the bill for the restric-
tion of immigration by the last con-
gress. which was vetoed by Democratic
president. was largely due to the efforts
and influence Of the 2,50o, 900 members Of
our organization.
The state advisory board under our
constitution is organized for political
purposes, therefore we have no author
ity to speak for the order at large, but
we may be pardoned for alluding to the
, state presidents report made q few
weeks ago, in which he states that the
order has not increased In membership
as rapidly as In past years. but is far
| better In the quality Of It's members, and
its future is bright and promising.
The estimated numerical strength of
the American Protective association and
kindred organizations In this state which
cooperate with II. is $4,000 members,
fully 80 per cent Of which are voters.
