that It ought to outdo the dinner to the

that the banquet will he held on tho

The election OF next years captain

citation In the future II four proposed
amendments are adopted at the annual
meeting In Chicago on January ~.
Hitherto only the clubs which were ac-
tive members have been allowed to vote
m the allied clubs which made up
about three-ouarters of tho association
membership have been without a voice
In its affairs. Tho proposed amend
ments will give the active members two
votes ZACH and the allied members one
vote apiece.
Tho executive committee Of the L. S.
q. A.. through Howard T.. Whitney. the
secretary. has sent out the required
notice OF the proposed amendments and
has written the following statement as
n preface:
For several years there has been
moro or less objection from men promi-
nent In the game of golf In this country
TO the form Of organization that prevails
in the United States Golf Association.
This objection IL based upon tho fact
that the allied clubs. which form the
large majority In it's membership, have
no voice whatever In its management
and cannot vote at its meetings.
THE existing plan of government was
devised at n time when golf was prac-
tically unknown in the United States
and 1t was then considered necessary
that its control should be confined to a
few of the more important and influential
since that time and n thorough knowl-
edge of the game. together with an
understanding OF It's spirit and prece-
dents. has kept pace with its phenome-
nal growth and widespread popularity,
so that the same necessity for the old
form of government no longer exists.

club that Is "A member OF the associa-
ton TO have a vote at It's meetings and
