Next Saturday the T. F. As will
viii witness the biggest scramble ev-
er pulled off in the local club rooms.
The occasion is the annual election
of post officers and national conven.
ton delegates. Never in the history
of the local post has so much interest
been shown in the election of officers
and the fight among the several can
didates has grown warmer and warm.
er until it has reached the sizzling
point, The largest number of candi.
dates ever announced for delegates to
hard for votes and each candidate has
a host or friends who are plugging"
! for their man.
The fight has been SD warm that
| new rule has been established forbid
ding more than two candidates for of
| flee TO congregate together or To sit in
to a card game. II is even reported
that the two candidates heading the
J
bitter and earnest in their fight that
| they hardly speak TO each other AS
| they pass by. Only yesterday two Diff
| ferent candidates We're pleading their
cases with voters and showing with
| flowing words and cheap cigars their
respective merits and the other fe.-
lows dement's. At the outset they
were both working together striving
to get votes to send themselves To
Philadelphia but before they had gone
far in their argument they had begun
to east heavily laden epithets at each
other and the result was they parted
combination broken.
IL is hoped the election will pass off
peacefully and with as few fights as
possible.
/! President Quigg has appointed l. n.
Worth and John j. Hoerner as judges
of the election and John Highley and
Chas. Pierson as clerks. These men
will have charge of all votes cast and
will see that no one member is per-
mitted to vote more than three times
|
polls will be opened from to 3 p. nj.
with few minutes OF gain perhaps
for the tardy voter.
/ Chef Lebo has prepared an ele.
Igant menu for the smoker to be given
next Saturday evening. the night OF
election and he assures every one they
will be amply repaid for coming to the
club rooms to cast their votes. The
eating" said Lebo, lis not like the
voting. Any r. p. A. can eat as Of
ten and as much as he pleases but he
can only cast one vote and that all
at one time"
4 Post c is greatly indebted to Harry
Anderson of Cepteryille, a member Of
the local post, for the three beautiful
pictures donated the club. Through
the efforts of Mr. Anderson the South
ern Pacific railroad was induced to
send to the local post three large and
beautiful pictures showing interesting
scenes along the railroad. These pic
lures are quite interesting and the r.
p. A. boys are highly pleased to have
received them.
John j. Hoerner, for many years the
local representative for the Flcish-
man yeast, has received a deserved
promotion from the company. He has
been made district manager for the
company and will have charge Of the
north west territory with headquarters
at Minneapolis. This change will ne.
cessitate the removal Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoerner to that city where they will
make their future home. The boys OF
post c regret to see Jack leave the
lefty. He has host Of friends In post
G who wish him well regretting at the
same time that the change will sever
his connection with the active affairs
of the post. Mr.. Hoerner will take
charge OF his new duties at once.
