The President: Pat, you will get ten, won't you? 



Mr. O'Connor: I will promise myself ten. 



The President: And Mr. Tobin, you will get ten, won't you? 

 You said you were anxious to help this association. 



Mr. Tobin : Yes. 



The President : Even financially ? 



Mr. Tobin : Yes, Mr. President. 



The President : Now, you will get us ten members during 

 the year ? 



Mr. Tobin : Well, I would not promise you. 



The President: But if you don't, if you promise to help us 

 financially, you would "kick in" with the money, wouldn't you? 



Mr. Tobin : Yes. 



The President : Yes, sure. Then you get ten members. 



Mr. Tucker: Mr. President, I want to ask about the vice

The Secretary : The secretary will get up a letter and send 

 it to each one of the vice presidents, stating what was done at this 

 meeting in the way of pledging these new members and asking the 

 vice presidents to do the same, to each guarantee ten members or 

 to turn the money in themselves. 



The President: If we had more money so that some of the 

 officers of this association could get about and confer with our 

 state vice presidents there isn't any doubt but what we could stimu- 

 late their interest and get many new members. Of course, ladies 

 and gentlemen, we have got to get new members, that's all there 

 is to it. 



Mr. O'Connor : The more the merrier. 



The President : What is the use ? Here we are meeting with 

 a deficit every year. That's all wrong. 



Mr. Olcott: Mr. President, I am glad something is going
