ORTIZ LEAGUE
IN EXCITING DEBATE
~ arm Discussion Over the
Election of Officers.
He SOLUTION OF APROBLEM
lethod Taken for Choosing Officials
onstitution-Those Who Were
Chosen-Rain Prevented Pilgrimage
to Mount Vernon.

\ lively time was preeipitated in the
Epworth League convention, now IN pro-
gress at the Metropolitan Church, when
the nominating committee presented its
report this morning. As q consequence
the entire morning session vas devoted
70 the election Of officers.
When the nominating committee pre-
sented its report it was moved that the
secretary be instructed to cast the bal
let of the convention for the slate
named, as is the usual custom
Confronted by Quandary-
At this point the startling discovery
vas made that no enc knew exactly
which delegates we're entitled TO vote
IN the convention and which ones were
not Some chapters had sent delegates
under the impression that they were en-
titled to one representative for every
forty members, and one preacher dele
gate-at-large- It seems that the consti-
tuition provides that the conventions
shall be constituted Of but two dele
gates from each chapter
The point WAS made that the COnFen-
ton was not called according to the
constitution. and that therefore, it
made no difference whether all the
delegates present had constitutional
right TO vote or not. They came there
with the idea that they had a right TO
vote, and with the expectation Of Yot-
ing, and it was argued that as long as
10 one had q right to vote anyhow &C
Cording to the constitution, the COngti-
tuition ought to be set aside n this in
stance and everyone be allowed TO vote.
The discussion while conducted
throughout with the utmost good hu-
NOR, nevertheless showed some signs of
warming up. Il was finally decided that
the delegations should retire and each
select two delegates to represent their
respective chapters in the convention.
