 Permit us 10 comment as q commit tee interested in this election on the light vote that was passed We can not take this as a reflection on the work of the league, for the reason that all in Hot Springs seems to real ze the importance Of this organiza- ton to the city. We take it that the majority of the members know some one would be down here to vote" and thought that their vote was not neces- sary The result shows practically tine same officers in charge this year as before. bu the rank and file of the Business Mems League. even though content to have the burden of public service with no compensation save that of criticism. carried again by the same faithful men who have served in the league in the past year should have shown the courtesy of coming to the league and castng~their vote, to say the east.
 It is a sad commentary on the in terest and patriotism of those who claim to be members of the Business Mems League, business men who are the chief beneliciaries of the pros perty that comes to ths city because Of nhe league, and who are usually the ones 10 cry the loudest Cor the league to keep active, but who could not spare the inc from their bnsines- 10 take enough active work in the ir terest of Hot Springs and come to lu- league and vote
 The work of the league will con. tinue. your committe has no donbt of 4 that the ieasUp pursue it's campa gn ID the interest of Hot Sprines When money is necessary the people Of tiot Springs will not be found uckjng in their support, but We cannot help but express our regret that SO little in- terest was taken, after all the urging and pwolic.ty given the matter, in this years election of officers. Respectfully submitted, n
