to be elected, irrespective of sections as at present 

 arranged. 



My reasons for advocating the nomination of both 

 Judges and members for the various Committees- 

 are as follows : — 



It would concentrate the votes on the most 

 suitable persons for the duties, and at the same time 

 would act as a guide to those who, although members, 

 are not acquainted with the most desirable persons to 

 fill the various positions. 



To some extent also the nomination of such 

 persons would be a guide to the members in voting : 

 for the name of the nominator w^ould often be a 

 guarantee of the fitness of the person nominated. 



And, in closing, let me earnestly appeal to ever\^ 

 member to use his or her influence on behalf of the 

 Club. I am certain that w^e have the material ready. 

 It is more will and energy we require all round. 

 Committees can do wonders if only backed up by 

 those who elect them. Members ! let us be up and 

 doing, and work with a will in the interests of the Club 

 we owui.-'"

 to the pessimistic views of the Club therein expressed. But members will 

 see on another page that INIr. Ball was right. — W. A. I^.
