counted to decide the officers for the ensu-
ing year. The beautiful rooms of the club
house looked as IL a regular old-time Kan

setting out the names of the candidates
and cards were strewn over the floor so
that the color of the carpet could not be
discerned. There was great rivalry among
those who supported the candidates on the
