In the absence of Henry Penn, who was at Cleveland, William H. Elliott presided. An excel- lent dinner was served, as usual, follow- ing which a communication was read from the New England Gladiolus So- ciety asking support for its next ex- hibition in Horticultural hall, Boston, and one from John Young, who men- tioned the possibilities of affiliation with the S. A. F. As the association falls considerably below the necessary 100 members, no action was taken on the latter. The nominating committee, consist- ing of F. E. Palmer, A. S. Parker and H. A.

Mr. Elliott visited many bankers and other prominent men here to gain their views about the Non- Eartisan league, later covering North lakota and getting the views of Sen- ator-elect Ladd, a native of Maine, Governor Eraser and numerous farmers and tradesmen.
