Norris, ]. W. Hook.
The full list of officers will constitute
the official board.
Two Tickets Presented.
Altho very little interest was taken
in the primary, it suddenly developed
after the voting began at noon Tuesday
that there was a ticket being worked
by telephone which proved catching
among the members, and when 10 bai-
lots had been cast, which was Well up
toward the voting strength Of the cluo,
It appeared that with several eXcep-
tions a great many straight ballots mad
been cast on two distinct lists OF candl-
dates.
Among the candidates, however, all
but a few were indifferent to their own
success. Mr. Moore was out urging his
friends to vote for Johnson because
Moore felt that he had had enough.
Mr.. Lawrence even posted his with
drawal as candidate against Mr..
Pierce. and then his friends kept fignt
on voting for him because his name
was on the ballot. and finally he per-
mitted withdrawal Of his withdrawal.
Mr.. Mundy, who had served on the
board. posted his withdrawal and In
sisted upon it. Wilbur. Weisman and
Norris seem to have drawn votes on
both tickets The ballots on treasurer
were scattered thruout.

Club Wants saIaried Secretary.
The two alternative propositions as
to a salaried secretary We're referred
| to the open meeting for discussion and
a petition was filed by Mr.. Ketchum
asking that salaried secretary be en-
| ployed. G. p Kirby spoke in favor of
| a salaried man. regardless of whether
| he did traffic work or not. James Nc
Nally moved to lay the whole matter
on the table. but nobody seconded the
motion. c. H. E. Boardman then moved
that it be the sense Of the club mem
bers that no secretary be permitted to
transact private business within the
clubs office. and this was carried unan-
inously. ]. L. Williams moved to re-
which was finally carried unanimously.
D. W. Norris and George Gregory IA
vored the motion but expressed them
selves in doubt as to there being any
business for traffic man, and Norris
expressed it as his judgment that a
salaried secretary OF any kind was a
