Burlington Hawk-Eye is Certain
That M. e. Justice is
Man For President of
the League.
MADE A GOOD EXECUTIVE
He Has Been at the Head of the
League For Nearly Two
Years and Has Been
Valuable Man.

With the meeting of the Central AS
ISOLATION less than a week distant
Tuesday, December 15-great activity
is being shown about the circuit AS
the time draws nearer and nearer
each day the newspapers are begin
ming to realize more fully that M. e.
Justice is the man who should be re-
turned to the Office which he has held
for near two years. Mr.. Justice has
made an excellent executive as all of
the fans know, and the Burlington
Hawk-Eye shows the proper Spirit in
the following article which was print
ed in today's issue:
The question of the next president
of the Central association appears to
be settled. M. E. Justice of Keokuk,
for two years head of the organization,
has finally consented under pressure
to stand as a candidate for reelection.
Nothing that has occurred in the af-
fairs of the Central association has so
pleased the fans as this announce
ment of President Justices decision.
For he has been a thoroughly trusted
and popular executive. He was thrust
into the Office by The unexpected death
of President Peckham two years ago,
from the vice presidency, and at first
was an unknown quantity. But he
had the making of splendid official
| in him He is a member of one of
Keokuk's most important wholesale
! houses, and is a man of splendid bust
ness ability. He has managed the af-
fairs of the association as he would
his own business and had given it an
administrator equal to any league OF
it's size in the country. The announce
ment of his determination to withdraw
and not be a candidate again, caused
a feeling littlJ short of CONSERVATION
in the league. There is undoubtedl!
material in the circuit for any mum
Der of excellent presidents, but there
exists the phase Of uncertainty, ant
it would be difficult to choose one who
would be sure of making good as JUS
tice has Therefore his decision tt
stand for reelection has cau1ed re
lief and satisfaction throughout the
circuit There is no doubt that he
will be reelected without opposition
Another thing that President JUS
tees attitude of reluctance to con
tinue the duties of president ha
brought out is the question of AIDE
auate remuneration for the president
The task of managing the Central as
ISOLATION is growing more exactin'
each year as it's affairs become lnvolV
! ed with higher class playing, and tn
cropping up of multitudinous Tin
points in the affairs CT the variou
teams composing the association.
is considered that $500 year is to
small remuneration for the respons
. bility and work of the executives o.
: fee, and the proposition is made b
5 former presiuent of the league, Fran
+ C. Norton of Burlington, that the sa
4 airy be raised to 5000 year. IL is b'
t lieved that this suggestion will NEE
/ with favor throughout the circuit an
: that as the coming January meeting

e ably acted upon.
