matter 10 be taken up will he the cleo
tlon OF the officers for another year.

tire In the election OF the president OF the
union The past year has been one OF
considerable turmoil I'm the midst OF the
union and there have been several dissen-
sOns SO that Il is the aim OF the members
III possible to elect man TO the presi-
dency who will be able to fill the position
To the satisfaction OF all. and will do the
union the greatest good
This is not meant say the members who
have talked OF the affair, that the present
incumbent has not made a worthy officer,
but that II is the idea OF the majority
OF the members that one who is the leader
OF one OF the most prominent bands and
an employer OF many musicians should
not be in the position OF head OF the body,
for the best good OF the craft
While he might rule impartially upon
all subjects, yet there would be those in
the body who would criticize any and all
acts OF his where some other leader
might be interested. For this reason
number OF the men have been casting
about for a man upon whom all the mem
bers might look with approval and work
In harmony with.
After looking over the field they have
decided that Mr. Gamble. who formerly
filled the office would be the best man,
and they are planning TO put his name
forward. They have not asked him as yet
whether he would act In the position or
not. but feel that IL the case is presented
TO him as they see IL and the need OF
his presence I'm the official chair is seen
he will accept their support and position.
They are talking the matter UP and VIII
| fender him the nomination at the meeting
| to be held Mr.. Gamble when In office
ruled i'm all matters with fair and impair
| ti1l hand and made any number of friends

the movement in this city. What will
result will all depend upon his word when
the men approach him as to the accept
| ance of the position.
