Chattanooga. Tenn, June 11.-The
twentieth annual session OF the Ma
tional Travellers Protective Associa-
,ton OF America completed its work
this afternoon. The closing day, in
spite of rumors that had filled the air
for the past week. to the contrary
was exceedingly harmonious and a
complete victory for tho anti-adrninis-
tration. or Logan. faction. The only
fight between the administration, or
Missouri faction, and the insurgents
was in the election OF two directors
who must be residents of st. Louis.
In spite of the fact that the Missouri
ans changed their ticket and substi-
tuted the name of Frank w. Wandall,
who for years has been chairman OF
the legislative committee. Is highly
esteemed by both factions, and under
ordinary circumstances could be elect
ed president of the association, they
were defeated by vote of 27s TO 172. 4
Machine Ticket Withdrawn.
The anti administration candidates
were F. j. Walter and Ashley Miller,
VINO lot years Ieslued III
Va. The two factions filibustered for
two days. and while the insurgents had
good. safe majority. they did not
push the fight The machine leaders
attempted to capture the convention by
placing in the field a ticket made up
entirely of candidates from the small
division. ignoring the big States, such
as Indiana, Missouri. Virginia, Penn
sylvania and Illinois, with ". r. john
son. OF Knoxville. Tenn. as president.
but they saw they were beaten. and
withdrew their ticket before the other
side made any nominations. figuring
| that they would be able to elect their
choice for the national board from ST
| Louis.
The Virginia delegates could have
secured any Office within the gift of
| the association. but they were not
seeking Offices. They were fighting for
| a new regime in the ST. Louis Office as
a compliment to the State for the work

betterment of the organization and
honors afterwards. The convention
goes to Philadelphia as a reward to

minority Of the board OF directors. who
