The Chamber Of Commerce at the largest
and most representative meeting It has ever
held last night unanimously selected Colonel
Ralph Emerson Twitchell as president-and
that job, it goes without a shadow OF argu-
ment, is right where Colonel Twitchea be-
longs. His election makes it quite certain
that the Chamber will hit a fast pace for
the glory Of Old Santa Fe III that there
will be something doing every minute. He
said last night that his chief aim in life
is to Communicate his enthusiasm--an en-.
thusiasna which 10 perennial and which age
cannot wither nor custom stale-and wen
say that as an MISREPRESENTATION
extraordinary the Colonel is in d class by
himself.
Just at this time it was a happy ihspira-
ton which impelIed the nominating com
mittee to decide on Twitchell and the in
stantaneous response by the Chamber mem
bership showed that the action WAS SO rel
garded- The other selections are equally de-
serving Of approval and once again the
