Election of Officers. 



The Xoiiiinatinj; (oiiiniilloc broufiht in 

 the name of 1). W. Williamson for president, 

 Init Mr. Williamson declined the office, stat- 

 ing that he was not in any way interested 

 in two of the important features of the as- 

 .sociation — the panel business and the quar- 

 tered-oak business, and that his hearing 

 was somewhat defective and he did not 

 vare to preside for that reason. 



The association made every effort in its 

 power, both constitutional and unconstitu- 

 tional, to reelect D. E. Kline to the office 

 of president, which he has filled so capably 

 and .iudiciously since the organization of 

 the association, but he declined decisively: 



Mr. Kline: This is all entirely out of order, 

 ■jinilemen. It is a fine thing for you people, with 

 iis much intclllsence as I see before me here. 

 10 Insist upon keeping one man in that office ! 

 1 have positivuly iliclined a third term — Theo- 

 <lore anrt 1 stand together on that. 1 don't know 

 whether Theodore means it as much as I do, but 

 I positively decline. I must be relieved of the 

 dulles of this ofBce. On the other hand, I am 

 not Bill Brjan : there are other men besides 

 liryan that the Hemocratic party can nominate. 

 Now you nominate somebody else and elect bim ! 



After much spirited and amusing discus- 

 sion two tickets were presented, on whicli 

 the opposing candidates for president were 

 Burdis Anderson and Charles H. Barnaby. 

 The latter announced that whoever pre- 

 senteil his name did it as a .jolve only, and 

 he wished to assure the association that if 

 it elected him that part would be a joke 

 also. 



Balloting showed the election of Mr. An- 

 derson as president by five more votes than 

 Mr. Barnaby received. The roster of new 

 officers stands as follows: 



President, Burdis Anderson. 



rirst Vice President, .J. A. Underwood. 



Second Vice President, D. \V. W'illiamson. 



Third Vice President, L. P. Grofifman. 



Secretary and Treasurer, E. H. Defebaugh. 



Mr. Defebaugh was unanimously voted 

 in honorary member of the association, 

 without dues, that he might accept the of- 

 fice of both secretary and treasurer under 

 the new constitution. 



The new Board of Directors consists of 

 the following: S. B. Anderson, M. C. Dow, 

 B. W. Lord and D. E. Kline to serve two 

 years; R. C. Dayton, P. B. Raymond and 

 E. W. Benjamin to serve one year. 



It was decided to allow the Executive 

 Committee to name the place of the next 

 meeting of the association. An invitation 

 was presented by the newly electeil presi- 

 dent to meet at Munising, Mich., in .Juno. 

 Their decision will be announced in future. 



Xo further business being presented, the 

 meeting adjourned. 



Appointment of New Committees. 

 Before leaving Chicago President Ander- 

 son announced the appointment of his com- 

 mittees for the ensuing year. In his selec- 

 tion of the Executive Committee Mr. An- 



derson has incuriiorated an excellent idea, 

 and one which will doubtless establish a 

 |ireeedent for the future. It will be noted 

 that he has named as members of this im- 

 portant committee, a vice president of the 

 association, the chairman of the Veneer 

 Manufacturers ' Club, the chairman of the 

 Quartered Oak Club, and the chairman of 

 the Panel Club. This will not only insure 

 the business of the committee being handled 

 by men who occupy authoritative positions 

 in their respective lines of trade, but will 

 greatly facilitate the work of the perma- 

 nent secretary, to be employed in future.
