376 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



The CHAIRMAN: I therefore declare the three gentlemen named 

 duly elected as Vice-Presidents. 



Mr. Fenstemaker will please conic forward and assume his duties. 



MR. FENSTERMAKER (in (he Chair). Gentlemen of the Board 

 this is entirely unexpected, but my friend Hutchison there is some- 

 thing of a politician, and somehow or other politicians always get 

 on top. 



We hope, with your assistance, to get through with the business 

 in a satisfactory manner, and we wiil at once take up the next regular 

 order. 



The SECRETARY: The election of an Executive Committee, I 

 think, is the next in order. 



The CHAIRMAN: The Executive Committee then will be the next 

 in order; the Governor, I believe, is ex-officio the President of that 

 committee. There are nine names for members of the Executive 

 Committee. 



MR. HERR: Are nominations in order? 



The CHAIRMAN: They are. 



MR. HERR: I nominate Mr. I. A. Eschbach. 



The following gentlemen were also nominated: J. Newton Glover, 

 of Union; H. G. McGow T an, of Berks; George G. Hutchison, of Hunt- 

 ingdon; M. N. Clark, of Westmoreland; Dr. E. E. Tower, of Susque- 

 hanna; H. C. Snavely, of Lebanon; Samuel McCreary, of Lawrence, 

 and Dr. M. E. Conard, of Chester. 



MR. HERR: I move that the nominations now close. 



MR. EDGE: Mr. Chairman, you have only seven to elect. 



MR. HUTCHISON. Now my friends, you have always been very 

 kind to me and I will withdraw. 



Mr. M. N. Clark also withdrew. 



MR. HERR: I move that the Secretary be authorized to cast the 

 ballot for the seven gentlemen who have been nominated. 



The motion being seconded, it was agreed to. 



The SECRETARY: In compliance with the motion just adopted, 

 -I cast the ballot for the Executive Committee as follows: Messrs. I. 

 A. Eschbach, of Northumberland; J. Newton Glover, of Union; H. G. 

 McGowan, of Berks; Dr. E. E. Tower, of Susquehanna; H. C. Snavely, 

 of Lebanon; Samuel McCreary, of Lawrence, and Dr. M. E. Conard, 

 of Chester. 



MR. HERR: The Advisory Committee is selected by the Executive 

 Committee in their meeting. 



The CHAIRMAN: Yes; that is correct. The next thing in order, 

 I suppose, would be Unfinished Business, as we find it on the pro- 

 gram. Is there anything you wish to take up? 



The SECRETARY: There \3 no unfinished business at present 

 that I am aware of.
