TWO EXALTED RULERS
WITH UNIQUE HISTORY

Meade D. Detweiler of Harrisburg
Pa, the dean Of exalted rulers, and L.
B. Hay of Washington, D. c., two of
the most noted Elks in the United
states. are in the city. They arrived
early in the convention city to watch
the coming Of the delegates, keep in
touch with the progress of the fight
over the election of officers Tuesday
afternoon, and TO size up the contest
for the next convention city.
Both the prominent men are well
known attorneys in their respective
cities and are familiar faces at all
grand lodge. sessions. Their presence
in Salt Lake City revives the fight in
1898 over the calling of two grand
lodge sessions The order almost went
to pieces as a result of the holding of
those two sessions, and for two years
it was question whether the two fac
tions could ever be brought together.
all differences settled and the breach
sealed. But for the personal endeavors
of Mr. Detweiler, the probabilities are
the order would have been divided and
gone to pieces. 1t was the turning
point in its career. He pacified the
two sides, effected an agreement and
placed the order on firm foundation.
Since then if has doubled in the num-
Der of lodges and almost trebIed its
membership.
In 1898 the grand trustees issued a
can for the annual session of the
grand lodge to be held in Atlantic City
N J. Shortly after that the grand
exalted ruler issued a call for a meet
ing of the same body at Jamestown,
Pa. Both the grand trustees and the
grand exalted ruler claimed the power
to issue the call and disputed the au-
thority of the other.
The lodges throughout the country
took sides. The result was that the
order was divided as completely as
was the north and south in the days
of the civil war. The jamestown re-
union was held first. when Mr.. bet
weller was elected grand exalted ruler
That same honor was conferred upon
Judge Hay three months later by the
Atlantic City grand lodge.
Then came the question which re-
union was the official one Both sides
remained firm and for two years the
future Of the Benevolent and Protect
i've Order of Elks hung in the balance.
But Mr.. Detweiler effected a compro-
mise. The real question, whether the
grand trustees or the grand exalted
ruler had the right 10 call a grand
lodge session, was not decided.
In recognition of his services in
bringing about a pacification of the
lodges, Mr.. Detweiler was elected grand
exalted ruler at the reunion held in
Buffalo in 1895 and was reelected the
following year. serving until 1898. He
Is the only man in the order who has
served as grand exalted ruler two years
in succession.

COLONEL WOODS LEADS
THE CR0NK CAMPAIGN

Colonel Dick Woods of Sioux Falls,
5. D., is leading the campaign for
George p. Cronk for grand exalted
ruler. The colonel is one of the noted
politicians of South Dakota. and six
years ago was chairman of the com
mittee on credentials in the Republican
national convention. He knows all the
ups and downs and ms and outs of
political campaigning, and it is largely
through his efforts that Mr.. Cronk Is
to be nominated by reclamation Tues
day next.
Colonel Woods said yesterday that
in his opinion this convention would
not be as large as that at Milwaukee
a year ago, because Salt Lake is a
long distance from the eastern lodges.
But there win be a grand old body
of men here Tuesday morning" he
declared. Last year we had 523 lodges.
This year we have SIS, and while the
convention viii not be as large as a
year ago, Salt Lake will certainly reap
benefit from the expansion of the or
der during the past year"

VOTING FOR THE

looks less than 80 BY his friends in
the order he is looked upon as an

and well versed in the laws existing
and the wants Of the B. p. o. E., but
he is a genial sort of man am pos
sesses that fine power to make friends
of all whom he meets.
In case of my election" said Mr.
Cronk yesterday. THE policy of the
administration will be to consider the
good the order can accomplish, rather
than the numbers we can acquire.
That, l believe, has always been the
policy. The territory now accessible
by our order is getting TO be more linn
tied all the time, as we confine our
selves to cities of 5000 people, and the
great majority of these in the United
states are already occupied.
There are now about 125.000 Elks in
the United States, showing a gain in
membership of $4,000 during the past
year. The number of lodges institute
ed is somewhat less than the year pre-
vious. showing that a majority of the
new Elks are in lodges in cities al
ready occupied by the B. P. o. +.
but DIS Oui SApdhStoH ceases, De
lieve the good accomplished viii in

now largely devoted to the installation
of new lodges. will have more time to
devote TO the good of the order"
Mr. Cronk is a member of the ma
tiOnaI home committee, which is to re-
port at the present session. The COM
mittee has selected a home at Bed
ford. Va. a big hotel that is ready for
occupancy at any time, and which was
purchased for tenth of its original
cost. 1t will accommodate 100 people
and while a good many other places
have offered inducements for the ma
tional home. il is believed that there
will not be any opposition to the Sc
lection Of the Virginia town.
