No attempt was made to put
through the resolution prepared by the

make President Nations eligible for re-
election, and the rumored combination
between Nations for president and
Hunt for secretary did not materialize.

there had ever been any thought OF
such a combination, and Mr.. Hunt was
particularly emphatic in his denial OF
the rumQr and declared that II had in
jurod him in his race for the secre-
taryship.

with 81 votes, Hunt second with 4O,
Flato third with 2S and Parrott bring
ing up the rear with is, giving Amo-
nett a clear majority over all OF i've
votes. The election of Amonett was
then made unanimous
