BUFFALO after
WO05MEN OFFICE
York State City Is Attempting
tosMake Use of Insurgents
for Own Benefit.

Further evidence OF the effort be
ing made by insurgent Woodmen and
the city of Buffalo n. y, to remove
the headquarters of the society TO
the eastern city is contained in the
following article which appeared in a
Buffalo newspaper Of recent date. In
cidentally n might be well for the bust
ness interests OF Rock Island to look
into the effOr; rs the loss Of the
head Office would be a severe blow.
Here IS the article:
There iE a possibility that the head
camp Of the Modern Woodmen of
America will come TO Buffalo again for
its next triennial meeting 1t was here
for N,sea in June. 1911. and at that
time the choice of the next place of
meeting was left TO the board of direc-
tor.
In view of the fact that there is
not little dissatisfaction among the
ranks of the WoOdmen over the way
thing are being conducted b. the ad-
ADMINISTRATION, il is understood that the
directors are planning To hold the next
AlttAAhE III Allt east. ne letlluB Is
not so intense here as in the west.
Buffalo is so centrally located, has
so many advantages as a convention
city, is able to handle the immense
crowds so well a. gave the Woodmen
so good time when they were here
before that Il is thought to be quite
within the bounds of the possible
that thls city will be settled on for
tn meeting in June, 1914.
There is certain TO be a big fight
over the officers, Head Consul Talbot,
Head Clerk Halves and the present
board of directors being personae non
gratae to some of the members.
Those who are calling themselves
the insurgents will hold a meeting
May II OF this year at Springfield,
ILL.,, to organize for a campaign against
the administration and 10 put up a
ticket in opposition to 1t.
IF the insurgent element wins out
next year 1t is almost certain that the
headquarters of the national camp will
be taken away from Rock Island, Ill,
and transferred to a city in the east
And again Buffalo stands good
chance Of getting these headquarters
Such shifting of headquarters
will entail an enormous expense, fol-
the organization, having about a mil
lion members, is the largest of its
kind in the world. The Headquarters
employ several hundred persons, the
payroll being from $4,000 to $4,000
a month.
Buffalo stands a good chance OF
getting the headquarters if she wants
to make an effort to land them sale
