The election Of officers took up a
good share of the time Thursday.
Many excellent nominating speeches
were made and it was not until after
p. m. when the delegates to the A.
o. 81. convention completed this part
of their work. For president there
was warm contest for presiding Of
ficer between James ]. Regan and
Daniel O'Keefe, resulting in the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Regain by a vote Of 95 to
So. The old officers, with the excep-
ton of Vice President Moran, of Has
tings, who declined another term, were
again selected, as follows:
President, ]. ]. Regain, st. Paul;
| vice president, P. Kenney, Mankato;
secretary, Thomas Connolly, Mime
apolis; treasurer, John Flood, Duluth;
chaplain, Rev. NJ. O'Brien, Graceville.
The Ladies' Auxiliary did not get
through with their election of officers
until about o'clock. Most of the old
officers were chosen for another term
as follows: Mrs. Mary B. Daley, Min
neapolis, president; Mary Reilly,
Brainerd, vice president; Ella G. Keat-
ing, st. Paul, secretary; Katherine
Mcdonald, Duluth, treasurer. A new
board Of audit was chosen, made up of
Mrs. Anna Cummings, Minneapolis;
Mrs. May Sullivan, Duluth; Miss Mary
A. Towey, st. Paul.
The elections in the two insurance
branches were held late in the after
noon and were even more spirited
than those in the two main bodies.
The entertainment in a social way
of the visiting Hibernians and the
auxiliary delegates Thursday night by
the local branches of the order was an
event creditable to the city and pleas
ing to. the large number of guests.
One of the features was ball given
at Woodman hall, where dancing was
INDUCED in from 8 o'clock until 2
o'clock in the morning. Huhner's or
chestra of ten pieces furnished music
for the occasion. In connection with
this was the banquet spread in Sons
Of Herman hall. 1t was certainly very
elaborate, the table decorations being
particularly fine. While the many
good things to eat were being disposed
Of, the Mozart Club String orchestra
played a number of pieces and the
banquet was greatly enjoyed by all.
The ladies of the Saltwater division
of the auxiliary, assisted by the local
division of the Hibernians, did them
selves proud as entertainers and their
guests from the outside are lavish in
their praises of them.
There was rather warm contest
for some of the officers in the A. o. H.
insurance fund. R. j. Clarke, the
present incumbent of the office, was
again returned as president. Dan M.
Clark holds over, too, as vice presi-
dent. The former is from st. Paul,
the latter from Brainerd, and both
are good men. There was some
what spirited contest for secretary of
the fund between John Mahoney and
r. w. McGarry, the former again be-
ing reelected to the position by sub
stantial majority. For treasurer of
the fund John Sheehy, of Montgom-
ery went through without opposition,
and Dr.. E.. w. Buckley defeated DR..
Maloney, Of st. Paul, for state medi-
cal director. Directors of the insur-
ance fund were elected as follows: f.
T.. Ryan, of Duluth; Thomas Jordan,
of Minneapolis; ]. P. Coughlan, of
Perham; NJ. Mullane, ST. Paul, and J.
L. Gleason, Minneapolis.
The delegates to the state conven-
ton of the Ladies' Auxiliary elected
the following officers without opposi-
ton: President. Mrs. J. J. Daley.
Minneapolis; vice president, Mrs.
Mary Reilly, Brainerd; secretary, Ella
Heating, st. Paul; treasurer, Mrs.
Katherine Mcdonald, Duluth; insur-
ance secretary, Miss Margaret Grady.
Saltwater; insurance treasurer, Mary
Sullivan, Rochester; state medical
director, DIR. E. w. Buckley, st. Paul.
1t was made possible, by action of
the A. o. Fl. convention, for all coun-
ties in Wisconsin and the two Dako-
tas, bordering on Minnesota, to organ
ize divisions of the A. o. H.. such
divisions to come under the jurisdic-
ton of this state.
