While there had been rumors of poll
tics in the air, the session of the men,
bers was peaceful indeed Mr. Sparrow,
in the beginning, declared that there was
the existence of no ring. and Mr.. Dan
iel, who, it is understood, had been urged
by certain members to enter the race
for some office, formally announced early
in the evening that he would not, if
elected, serve in any executive capacity.
A committee consisting of w II. JEFF
fries, Bromfied Ridley and A. o. Lind
say, managers, and w. b. Everett and

charge of the election This board served
and was complimented for the complete

man for any office, and these votes, after
having been polled. We're tabuiated with
the result as above outlined.

bers to organization two years ago, and
who has served as president of the club
since it's organization, was nominated for
reelection by j. j. Eaton. When nomi-
nations were called for, several members
indicated their desire to nominate the
preAdent. Mr. Ridley and Mr.. Eaton. as
matter of fact, arose at practically the
same instant. Mr.. Eaton was recognized
and qualified by paying the president a
very high compliment and putting him
in nomination for a third term. This
nomination was greeted with a storm of
applause.
The Salaried Secretary
During the remainder of the week, II
Is understood that the members will make
themselves active in regard to the cleo
tion which will occur next Tuesday night.
There are IA nominees for directors and
only seven of the number can be elected.
The race between Mr. Holberg and Mr..
Cullen for secretary treas surer promises to
be interesting. 1t is understood that the
man elected will become treasurer, fol-
sslowing the selection by the members OF
the new directorate of the salaried secre-
tary.
The salared secretary will have head
quarters In the chambers of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and 1t was argued that
he would make the Ad club still more
of a factor for good in the business world
than it already is
The Empire hotel served an excellent
menu and the guests were made comfort
able as the result of the activity of sew
eral fans.
