THE ELECTION OF CLUB
OFFICERS.
Will Name Twice As Many Candidates
as There Are Offices and These
Will Be Voted Upon.


The appointment of a nominating
committee, consisting of five MEM
bers of the Commercial club, will be
one of the more important transac-
tions to come before tonight's member
ship session of the organization, this
being the date of the regular monthly
business meeting. The nominating
committee is provided for in the new
constitution recently adopted by the
club, and the duties of such commit
tee is the nomination of two complete
sets of officials, or twice the number
of nominations that there are to be
elections.
The committee is allowed until Fri
dav, March 10. to make nominations,
the constitution providing that all
such nominations shall be made 20
days prior to the date of the annual
election, which this year falls on
Thursday, April s. The election Will
be made by membership meeting oil
the club. and a complete new corps IS
called for. After the coming election,
however, there will be hold-over mem
bers of the board of trustees, composed
of nine members, three to hold office
for three years, three for two years.
and three for one year. The secretary
president and vice president, are
chosen by the board of trustees AFTER
the membership meeting has made the
election of the board, and the mem
bers have nothing to say relative 10
the election of officers other than the
trustees. who, in turn, select one VI
their number for president announcer
for president, and make the APP
pointment of secretary. A full attend
ance is expected at the meeting To-
night, as the appointment of the NOM
mating committee will be one OF the.
chief transactions of the occasion.

his stock for $4,000 when in reality
the par value was but $14,-

board of directors it was de-
cided to grant him a bonus and he
accordingly sold for the sum he pre-
viously demanded. The Drumheller

this stock but refusing to give more
than par value. purchased it for s14,-
