partially to all. The simple clipping
Of the ballot published herewith and
filing in the name., Of those counted
deserving OF the honor will serve to
place them in nomination when the
ballot is received at this Office. and
surely there are ma-y who sit In
lodge meetings with you who deserve
this slight token at your hands. The
thing to do is to clip the ballots to-.
day and I'LL them in and bring or mail

Everything is in readiness to re-
ceiye and register them and the cou.
pons will be published in each issue
Of the West .Virgtnian beginning to-
day and the votes announced daily

different lodges and societies take up
the matter ot1icially and nominate
candidates who will be the unani-
nous choice of the organizations.
