that there was a scheme on foot to
Gust Emil Mann as secretary, and
wanted to know by what reason or the
DRY that such proceedings were being
enacted, when Mr.. Mann was duly
elected at a regularly announced meet
ing of the Fair association a short time
ago, and If certain people, now pres
emit, were not then present it was their
fault and not Mr.. Mann's.
Debate on this point was lively and
stormy. and Chairman Ruppe ruled
Mr.. Marion out of order. He got in
his points, however, and continuing
for a few minutes, stated that the pro-
c~eedings of the meeting held two
weeks ago were regular and that 1t
would be heaping shame aud outrage
upon Mr.. Mann, a well known citizen
here, to GUST him in such a manner as
this meeting proposed.
The chair called for the previous mo-
ton. and that was on paying the pres
ident $500, he to pay his own assist
ant. This motion was carried, but the
motion to pay the secretary $500, amid
the confusion that followed, was lost.
So the secretary will receive no salary,
according to last nights meeting.
/ Mr.. Marion was ripe for further de-
bate on the proceedings, and stated
that IL this meeting can override the
action of the regular meeting held two
weeks ago, over which he presided,
what would prevent a meeting of citi-
zens being held in the near future and
expunging from record the action of
this meeting?
Nominations for first vice president
were then in order, and the names of
o. N. Marion. A. Everitt, VIM. Farr
and j. A. Weinmann were submitted.
The first three withdrew, and Mr..
Weinmann was elected first vice presi.
dent unanimously.
Nominations for secretary being in
order, w. l.. Trimble named Emil
Mann and Mr.. Everitt nominated p. F.
McCanna.
Clouds were gathering for considera.
BILE debate on these nominations, and
it soon broke loose.
After the nominations we're closed
and before a vote was taken, although
Mr.. Mann had a number of friends who
were willing nov to stay by him, he
withdrew his name, leaving the field
for Mr.. McCanna.
However, before the chair could act
upon the secretary matter, Mr.. Marion
rose and stated that he positively
knew that Mr.. McCanna did not want
the Office and would not accept. w. l..
Trimble also stated that Mr.. McCanna
had told him that under no circum-
stances would he accept.
To counteract the emphatic remarks
of Messrs. Marion and Trimble. B..
Spitz and B. Ruppe knew that Mr.. Nc
Gamma would accept, as he had told
them that he would.
Mr.. Marion wanted to be absolutely
certain as to whether Mesrrs. Hall and
and McCanna would accept the offices
to which they were elected, and on
motion a hack was sem out after
them. They could not be found, and
the meeting was so informed.
While the hack was on its way Mr..
McCanna was nevertheless unanim-
ously elected secretary.
Jocularly, it was suggested that the
vice president and the board of direc-
tors each receive $500 salary. No mo-
ton was made, hence the chair refused
to consider the suggestion.
Moved by Mr.. Everitt, seconded by
Mr.. Spitz, that hereafter only sub.
scribers of the fair fund could vote on
the election of officers.
After considerable discussion, pro
and con, on this motion, INDUCED in by
Messrs. Marion, Everitt. Alderman,
Pratt, Gunsull. Mann and others, the
motion was lost.
Some more debates followed on mi.
nor matters, wherein Mr.. Mann reciteS
his conversation with a certain promi
nent business gentleman at his
(Mann's) store a few days after he
was elected secretary, after which a
motion to adjourn was made and un'
animously carried.
1t is predicted this afternoon that
the lively, stormy meeting will work
out all right, and that Albuquerque
will have a rousing fair next year.
