TO-day's session of the Photographers AS
ISOLATION of America is expected to be the
most interesting of the convention, mas
much as the election of officers, the selec-
ton of meeting place for next years con-
vention the proposed amendment to the
bylaws to give the manufacturers and
dealers voice in the selection of the con-
vention cities, and the proposal to establish
a permanent art salon at Winona will be
taken up.
The committee on nominations will sub
init its report at the opening of the forenoon
session. The committee will recommend a
list of candidates, one for each office, and
then an opportunity Will be offered for NOM
nations from the floor. 1t is not foregone
conclusion that the report of the committee
will go through, but it is believed that it
will. The members of the committee abso-
ton last night, and no intimation could be
secured from them as to the candidates they
will recommend. 1t is the general impress
sion, however, that c. r. Reeves, of Ander-
son. the present first vice president will be
nominated for president; that Second Vice
President j. Il. Giffin, of Wheeling, w. Va,
VIII be recommended for first vice president,
and that Treasurer f. r. Barrows, of Bos-
ton and Secretary George G.. Holloway, Of
Terre Haute. will be renominated. If such is
the report of the committee 1T will undoubt-
edly be approved by the formal vote of the
convention. Otherwise there may be fight.
The proposed amendment to the bylaws
which will give the manufacture and deal
ers a voice in the selection of the city for
the annual meeting of the convention will
be taken up before the meeting place for
next year is chosen. 1t is understood that
the sentiment of the delegates is favorable
to the amendment. Considerable opposition
has developed since Tuesday to both st.
Louis and San Francisco for next year, and
il is probable that a dark horse will win.
Minneapolis was being favorably mentioned
by many of the photographers last night,
and Detroit is also being spoken of. Many
OF the men who are here have come to the
conclusion that, as the usual meetings are
held in August, some city toward the north
should be selected, for comfort If for
other reason. Niagara Falls was suggested
last evening, but found few supporters.
HELD NO SESSIONS.
The national association held no sessions
| yesterday and the members were given a
| chance to view the exhibits of the supply
houses and to spend some time in the art
salon. In the forenoon the Indiana Assoc
citation held a short meeting and reelected
the present officers by reclamation, as fol-
lows: President, George X. J. Parrot, Fort
Wayne; secretary, w. T.. Wilmer, Crown
Point; treasurer, j. A. Burghotzer, WASH
ington; first vice president, V. b. Hardy,
Frankfort; second vice president, George
Houser, Warsaw.
J The report of Treasurer Burgholtzer
showed that the association is In -four
ishing condition, as there will be balance
of S33S.53 in the treasury after paying all of
| the expenses for the past year. The next
meeting will be held at Winona.
The principal feature of the meeting was
| the consideration of the offer of the Winona
| Assembly for the establishment of a perma-
nent art salon on the assembly grounds
The assembly will donate an acre of land,
| valued at $500, for the site of the building,
| and will also pay half the expenses of tear
| Ing down the old cyclorama building, now
occupying the SITE and erecting a pressed
| brick or stone building for the permanent
| exhibit and library. The assembly will also
pay all taxes, insurance and other cost of
maintaining the building.
The members of the Indiana Association
are enthusiastic over the offer and feel that
a permanent home at Winona is assured.
| They believe they will have no difficulty in
raising by subscription a sufficient to
meet their part of the expense in erecting
lne DullulnS, out nope DISC tO secure the
| cooperation and financial assistance of the
national association. The matter will be
| laid before the national organization to-
| day.
Last night, despite the untoward weather,
the photographers took a trolley ride to
| Fair Bank and enjoyed a special concert at
/ that place of amusement given in their
honor.
| The total attendance at the convention
| has passed the 900 mark and the national
officers and old-time members say that the
Il M IA nv IA
the most successful in the history of the
| association.
