President Howard introduced an
unique manner In whioh to pass
the time while the election board
was out. The membership was
grouped by ages first and then by
states. Between so and 70 o. S.
Mckinney was a lone and COM
manding figure; from so to 60,
nine stood, from As to so, eight
stood. The 40 to As limit had the
largest number, eighteen rising to
their feet, S5 to 40 was a close
second with sixteen up; 80 to So
had twelve: 25 to 30, ten, while
20 to 25 had only one and he by
strange coincidence sat beside Mr..
Mckinney, the Oldest member. A
rising vote showed by far the
largest number were from West
Virginia. Pennsylvania came next,
then New York, Ohio, Maryland,
Dan Block from New Jersey, IiIi-
nois Kansas, Alabama, and last
but not least Scotland, Ireland
and England. The stunt was good
for several laughs.
