Text Of Proposed Change.
The section reads as follows:
Each chapter is entitled to be
represented at the Continental Con-
sress or special meeting of the Ma
tonal Society by its regent. or in
his absence. it's vice regent. A
chapter having 100 members shall
be entitled to be represented by

gent. and one additional delegate
fore every 200 members thereafter.
Regents and delegates shall be n
utld to altrnates. but no more than
ten alternates shall be elected from
any chapter. A chapter regent is
authorized to fill vacancies in its
delegation to the Continental Con-
gress from duly elected alternates." !"
Certain delegates from the larger
chapters are understood to be op-
posed to this move on the grounds
that it will materially decrease their
voting strength in the national con-

votes instead OF seventy-seven.
