Promptly at 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the gavel of State Chief
Ranger Martin fell and the business
for which the delegates had assembled
was announced and the convention
proper was opened.
Addresses were also made during
the afternoon by State Chief Ranger
Martin, A. J. Eckstein, Hon. Julius
Collier. Rev. H. B. Sandmeyer and
others.
Acting Mayor Eibner addressed
the assembly in a few words of well
come and then the report of the COM
mittee on credentials was called for
and being ready to report that commit
tee announced that there were present
and entitled to sit in the convention
100 delegates. Twenty three courts in
the state having no representation.
The list of committees necessary for
appointment by the Chief Ranger was
then prepared and the committees an
nounced. This work consumed the
greater part of the time of the after
noon until the time of adjournment.
Most of the real work of the conven-
tion will come up today and will be
in the nature of Legislation for the
coming year and the election of officers
for the ensuing year.
1t is expected that the present Chief
Ranger will be a candidate for re-
election and that he will have little or
no opposition. At the time of going
to press no one has been bold enough
to announce his candidacy
There will be fight over the Office
of state secretary, the present incum-
bent being anxious to retain the place
and an active candidate in the person
Of Henry S. Grogan of Minneapolis,
being in the field.
F. E. Cores will be a candidate for
the office of State Trustee and John F.
Niemeyer will be in the field for the
place of delegate to the National con-
vention.
Last night a progcam similar to the
one of Sunday night was given but the
numbers on it were entirely new and
just as pleasing and entertaining as
the one Sunday. There was a large
audience out to the entertainment and
the proceeds from the sale of tickets
was very gratifying to those having il
in charge.
All together the convention has been
quite successful SO far, both as d social
AFFAIR and also aS a means of revenue
towards paying for the magnificent new
school building. The attendance is
| not what was expected but this is ac-
| counted for in many ways and it ap-
pears that there is abundant reason
for the absence of most of the missing
delegates.
The reports of the various officers
will be taken up this morning and
passed upon. Advance statements
from some of the reports shows that
there are II, 545 members in the order
in this state a gain in two wears OF
363.
Since the last biennial convention
was held Is new courts have been es-
tablished, five have been suspended
and four have been consolidated SO
there is a gain in this direction of four
courts. The reports also shows that
I the number Of deaths in the order for
the past two years has been 2.114 and
the amount of insurance that has been
paid on account Of these deaths has
been S13O, 900.
The state treasurers report shows
that there is cash balance in the
treasury of S5O39.60 The society is in
excellent condition and it's members
are alive to the issues that are before
it.
All sessions of the convention are
IiSIA oOllIllSA CloSCu uoOIS, llO one U6-
ing allowed in the hall except MEM
bers of the order. The Review has not
attempted to cover the work of the con-
vention. 1t was impossible to do so
from the nature of things.
