When the election was about to take
place the representation of the 1st District
of Columbia Regiment was cut down to
two votes. instead OF two from each COM
pany as originally authorized. This action
was taken by the out-of-town delegates,
who pointed out that the attendance from
other regiments was not in proportion to
that Of the District, and it would be mani
testify unfair to allow the local soldiers to
hold so much power.
Col. James r. Tllman of South Carolina,
nephew of Senator Tfllman, and one Of the
youngest regmental commanders in the
volunteer service as chairman of the COM
mttee on plan Of organization, presented
the report of that body. In the report it
was provided that all soldiers of the regu-
lar and volunteer army, navy and Marine
Corps. who honorably served during the
war with Spain are eligible as members.
The report also states the objects of the
association which are to keep alive men,
cries of the Spanish war and to promote
the interests of those who served during
the conflict. To draft a constitution by
laws and arrange a ritual and for the pur-
pose of erecting permanent organization. a
council of administration. to be called to-
gether at the discretion of the commander
in-chief. was agreed upon.
