Harmony seemed to be the keynote
of the session of the supreme camp of
the Royal Neighbors at the annual
election OF officers yesterday afternoon
and at no time did any dissension
arise to brighten away the dove of
peace that lowered over the scene.
one OF the delegates who has been at
practically every convention since the
society's organization remarked this
morning that in every respect the ses-
sions so far have been most harmoni-
Gus in the history OF the organization
at the supreme camp meeting.
The defeated candidates took their
defeat in the true spirit of good losers
and at once turned in to give what as
sistance they could to their more /
favored sisters. AS the supreme Off /
GERS names were called they were re- |
ceived with enthusiastic cheers and 4
waving Of flags and handkerchiefs !
that amounted to an ovation.
When balloting began and results /
had been counted the surprise OF the !
afternoon was the small vote polied by |
Mrs. Myrtle Dade-Schoessel for the po-
sition, OF supreme manager, the only
candidate from this city who was en-
tered in the race for any Office. She /
polled a total OF 62 votes. losing in
the race for the Office she was seek
ing.
The business session was continued
this morning, the election of officers
being unfinished at the time of adj
journment last evening.
