Some debate took place at the meet
ing of the Methodist Preachers AS
sociation this morning over the cleo
tion of officers for the next six

with the Rev. f. f. Carpenter as
chairman, which had been appointed
last month, presented a list OF oihcers
this morning.

tary cast the ballot for these Of
ficers.
The Rev. DR.. George A. Cooke OBJ
iected to this manner of electing Of
Rcers, and declared that it was uncon-
stitutional. He said that the as
sociation constitution provided that
the election of officers should be by
ballot. He stated that officers ought
to be nominated from the tioor and
the members given a chance TO vote
on the individual officers.
The Rev. T. r. Van Dyke, president
OF the association. ruled that the cast
ing of a ballot by the secretary was
equivalent to election by ballot. De-
spite the protest of Doctor Cooke, the
association, by a majority vote, ae'
cided to have the secretary cast the
ballot.
The officers were:
The Rev. j. W. Easley president
the Rev. ]. p. Outten, vice-president
