FIFTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART IV. 289 



The President : The next thing in order is the election of 

 officers for the ensuing year, and the first office to be filled is 

 that of president. Who will you have for your president? 



W. S. Moore: It is too late to make an extended nominating 

 speech, but I think I can put just as clearly what I want to say 

 by one remark, that in looking over the entire organization of 

 the National Dairy Union there appears to me but one man to 

 be its president, and that is the man in whom we all have 

 absolute confidence. Therefore, I rise to nominate Mr. S. B. 

 Shilling, as president of the National Dairy Union. 



The nomination being duly seconded and carried, Mr. Shilling 

 was declared unanimously elected president of the National 

 Dairy Union for the ensuing year. 



Mr. Shilling: Gentlemen, I thank you. I am not going to 

 make a speech, but I will say to you, as I said to the dairymen, 

 the other night, that for the year to come you are going to have 

 the best that is in me. That is all I can do. I thank you for 

 the honor you have conferred upon me by electing me president 

 for the coming year. 



The President: The next office is that of vice-president. 

 Who will you have for your vice-president. 



Mr. Wright: Mr. George Linn, of Chicago, is nominated 

 for vice-president. 



Mr. Gallagher: Being a friend of Mr. Linn, and knowing 

 that at the present time he is indisposed or otherwise he would 

 be present, I take pleasure in seconding the nomination for vice- 

 president. 



Nomination duly carried and Mr. Linn was declared elected 

 vice-president of the organization for the coming year. 



The President : The next is the office of secretary -treasurer. 

 Nominations are in order for that office. 



Mr. Wright: I nominate Mr. C. Y. Knight for the office.

 Mr. Knight was declared elected secretary-treasurer of the 

 National Dairy Union for the coming year.
