'HAGENS CHOSEN
HEAD OF CHAMBER

AT the annual meeting or the Cham
Der of Commerce Wednesday after
noon J. F. c. Hagens was elected pres
ident succeeding George W. Smith.
Hagens is president OF II. Hackfeid &
Co. and was the only nominee, as
Robert w. Shingle withdrew.
The withdrawal Of Single resulted
in w. o. Smith heading a movement
to have the election postponed two
weeks In order that other candidates
might be selected. Smiths plea was
that as the United States was practi-
cally at war with Germany it would be
unwise at this time to do anything
else. Shingle was then asked to re-
consider, but refused to do so on the
ground Of business. He informed the
members that A ~. Campbell was i'll
and had been ordered by the doctor
to take a six months vacation, which
would throw double work on him.
Hagens then. on his own behalf.
made short speech clearly explain
with hearty applause.
81 was not asked to be a candi-
date" said Hagens, Il was simply
notified that | had been chosen by
the nominating committee.
"Now feel that fhis discussion en-
ters somewhat aboiif my birth and as
] was asked by several members of
this chamber and also by friends to
withdraw nay name wish to make
my stand clear.
Il was asked to withdraw in the
interest of harmony and 1 would have
liked to have done so but could not
under the circumstances. It would
have been an impeachment of my own
loyalty as citizen il should with.
draw my name now as a candidate for
an office in this chamber. / have
been in this community 80 years last
month and during that time I have
tried to do my best in behalf of the
community" r..
After Hagens had been escorted to
the chair, following. his election, he
said: Il,
"A certain sense of duty is inherent
in every man and l believe there. is
no more sacred sense of duty than is
shown by the faithful performance of
ones. duty to the country and com.
munity in which one lives. E
81 will do everything possible to
do my duty under any and all circum-
stances to the. best of my knowledge.
and ability to every member of this
chamber, to the chamber itself and to
the country - ....... -. j.. T..

conferences on the war army bill end

There was evidence tonight that the

senate provisions to enforce prohibition

Roosevelt to raise a division. The
differences in the age limits of those
