Sisters showed more spirit than did
their brother Pythians in their annual
election of grand lodge officers held
yesterday afternoon. which was spirit

imously for the office of grand senior.
The election started early in the after
noon, but was not completed until a
late hour. The Rathbone Sisters were
enthusiastic In all their meetings, and
some lively discussions We're held.

would have prevented any electioneer-

strong discussion, the laws OF the order
In this regard were allowed to stand,
allowing electioneering for short
time before each session OF the grand
lodge.
A peculiar condition arose when
the place of the next meeting came
UP. Charlton was the only candidate
for the honor. AS the town was too
small, the invitation was laughed at.
However. the law provides that II no
other city asks the meeting, it shall be
held at Des Moines. Whether the
meeting goes to Charlton or not. was
left with the grand lodge executive
committee.
