GREAT LAKE REGION FAVORED
The report advocated the holding of
conventions in the vicinity of the great
lakes as more centrally located
point, accessible to the most members.
After telling of the last San Francisco
convention in 1905, Shark Hadley paid
the city glowing tribute as follows:
"Calamities have been heaped upon
her, adversely and aff1iction have bowed
her in the dust; misfortune has called
her its own. Yet today she is greater
than before; she is more than ever
splendid, more gloriously alive"
Scrivenoter ]. H. Baird reported the
finances of the order better than ever
before and balance for the year of
