Clinton, Feb 27.-It begins to look as
if the Clinton Business Mems Associa-
ton would have to try again. They
have elected two presidents, and will
probably have to elect third. The
statement is made with great conf

the presidency, which was thrust upon
him at the last meeting. Another rea-
son for believing that this is so, Is that
when Mr.. Goodale was elected, the
members were told that Mr.. Goodale
would serve in his former office in the
association, that of president, if w. L.
Hubbard and John Forester would
serve in their former positions, which
were financial secretary and treasurer,
respectively. Mr.. Forester would not
consent, Mr. Hubbard did not, and, i'm
