Delegates on Their way to 81.
for the National Assembly.
A party Of delegates from the State division
of the l.. A. W. to the National Assembly at st.
Louis left yesterday for tho West. The annual
business meeting of the League will convene on
Wednesday,. and II is likely that they will DO in
session two days. Strong opposition has devel-
oped against the suggestion of dropping tho
word amateur" from tho membership classif-
cation. and tho proposition to open the League
TO professionals seems destined to fail. Another
amendment against which there is strong OBJ
lection Is the icca of making the Chairman Of
the National Racing Board q salaried official.
The election of national officers by popular vote
will receive careful consideration. and hopes
are entertained that this amendment will pass.
A meeting OF tho n National Racing Board Of the
L. A. w. will be held at st. Louis tomorrow
night. 1t Is expected that the deliberations will
be interesting. 1t is learned from an authorized
source that Chairman Mott will be asked to ex-
plain z number Of decisions he has rendered.
and why he Is entitled to adjust problems with
out consulting the entire board.
Douglas Robert. one of tho Western members
Of the National Assembly, will present an
a~mendment at the annual meeting on Wcdncs-
day; with the object OF debarring membersf from
holding national and division offices at the same
time. This Will have an important bearing on
the new officers OF the League. Robert adyo.

1t would prohibit our chief officials and the
chairmcn of national committees from holding
at the same time the offices of Chief Consul,
Vice-Consul. or Sccretary-Treasurer of any d.
vision. In the first place this is not a radical
measure. 1t does not propose to alter or almond
any principle or policy OF the L. 4. w. Its effect
fore. 1t can be debated In calmness 1t is in tho
national officer is the servant, Of all States and
divisions. His time and his obligations are the
right of all the people. In his office his own
State interest must not como before. those of
the L. A. W. his time belongs to ali the members
and SHOULD he at the same time hold a division
office the two will interfere"
