Power Of ORGANIZATION.

The state organization as effected
will have all the power of the national
organization with the exception of the
reinstatement of athletes who have
been suspended by the national board.
At the meeting at which Physical
Director r. E. Chamberlin and N. A.
King of this city were present yester-
day, the fact was brought to light that
Keokuk contained about one-half the
resigtered athletes in the state at the
present time In Iowa there are about
$50 athletes who have cards in either
the A. l.. n. A. or the A. A. U. and
Keokuk has about Is of them.
With the state organization it will
be less difficult to take up matters per-
tanning to the organization within the
state and all questions can be more
readily settled than if referred to the
national board
Within year it is expected that the
A. L. n. A. in the state of Iowa will
have reached state of perfection and
it is towards this end that the officers
will lend their efforts.
