MILO N. BELDING NOMINATED ron
CHIEF CONSUL OF III STATE.

Divlsion-To Keep Wheels FREQ from Rust
The Nominating Committee OF the New York
State division, L.. A. W.. announced yesterday
the result OF its deliberations. Milo NJ. Belding,
Jr.. OF Manhattan. the present Vice Consul. was
named for Chief Consul and H.. b. Fullerton 81
Brooklyn for ~Vice-Consul. This ticket estab-
fishes n now precedent In tho State politics Of
the League. 1t has heretofore been the custom
to name candidates from different sections.
The reason for departing from this rule is that
the hard work ahead requires that two mem
beers Of the Executive Committee shall be in
close touch and near to the division %headdunr-
| ters. The Executive Committee is COM
posed OF the Chief Consul. Vice-Consul.
and Auditor. They run tho division. In
tho past great difficulty has been expert
enced In getting the three members Of this
committee together for the transaction OF bust
ness. as their homes have been 80 far apart. Tho
division has suffered because OF this. and while
the sentiment Of going to different parts OF the
State for officers Is appreciated. II Is recognized
by the nominating committee that It IL merely
sentiment and should not be permitted to in
terfere with the stern business OF building up
the division. which is now in very poor shape.
AS Secretary Treasurer Bull puts 1t. the State
forces arc confronted by q condition In coping
with which neither theory. sentiment nor politics
should play q part. There is some idea that
this act Of framing q ticket composed entirely Of
New York men may cause dissatisfaction in
some quarters Of the State. but It is not antici-
pated that there will be any active opposition.
The condition Of the State Treasury is such
that no one is rushing after the offices this
year. 1t means hard work with head and hand
for next years officers to restore the State to
its prestige in the ranks OF the League. Messrs.
Bedding and Fullerton are both able men, who
have done much valuable work In behalf of the
League. Moreover. both have personal mag
ne tism and are popular. 1t Is generally con-
ceded that so far as personal character goes no
better ticket could have been selected.
