The convention was one of sensa-

His second maneuver was made
after the convention was seen to be
practically in a deadlock, Speaker

the leaders but neither able to COM

nation, and three other. candidates,
Marshall, Underwood and Harmon,

CLUB ANNUAL MEETING.

THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEET
ing pf the Rock Island Musical club
was held yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. J. F. Robinson, 613 Tween
tieth street Officers for the year were
elected as follows:

Second Vice President-Mrs. ]. F.

Recording Secretary-Mrs. Joseph

Corresponding Secretary-Miss No
tavena Steck.
Treasurer-Mrs. F. K. Rhoads, re-
elected.
Reports for the year were received
from the various officers, all of which
showed a most gratifying condition of
the organization. The treasTers re-
port was especially pleasing to the
membership. Mrs. Rhoads reported
that during the year S1,941.4S had been
collected from all sources and S1,616.S0
had been expended in carrying on the
! work of the club. This leaves a bal
ance on hand of $325.1S above all ex-
penses. In view of the fact that the
management has given two recitals
complimentary to club members, the
Helen Waldo and George Hamiin re-
citals, and that the bringing here of
the grand opera star, Madame
Frances Aida, was losing proposition,
the financial showing of the club at the
end of the year is one that merits con-
graduation. The artists recitals have
been OF a very high order and have
In each instance cost the club large
sums, and it was only through careful
management that the outcome has
been so gratifying and encouraging.
