ILLINOIS STATE BEE-KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION 



155 



Mr. Dadant — Mr. President, I would 

 like to ask if anybody in this room 

 expects to go to Denver to the National 

 Association Convention at their own 

 expense. 



Mr. Bull — I expect I will go. 



Mr. Burnett — Mr. President, I nomin- 

 ate Mr. John C. Bull ag our delegate to 

 the National Convention. 



A member — I move that the norhlna- 

 tions be closed. 



Motion seconded and carried, and the 

 Secretary was instructed to cast the 

 ballot of this Convention for Mr. John 

 C. Bull as delegate. 



Mr. Dadant — The next thing in order 

 is the question of joining the State in 

 a body. 



Mr. Bull — If there is any one else 

 who has an idea of going, it would be 

 well to have an alternate. Mr. Miller 

 thinks he will go; I nominate him as 

 an alternate. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



Mr. Dadant — I move you that we join 

 the Illinois State Association in a body. 



Motion seconded and carried. 

 - Pres. Kannenberg — We have a paper 

 here from the Review about a dona- 

 tion. If this Association wants to 

 donate anything for the Secretary, to 

 send him to Denver, Colorado, we will 

 have to vote on it; if not, we won't 

 send anything. I would like to have 

 remarks. 



Mr. Miller — I would like to ask the 

 Secretary if we have the money. 



Mr. Dadant — The books show that we 

 have $1.86 in the Treasury at the 

 present time. We have some money 

 coming from the State Association, 

 about $14 or $15. 



Mr. Burnett — Are the delegates and 

 alternates expected to pay their own 

 expenses? 



Mr. Dadant — Yes. 



Mr. Burnett — It seems to me if we 

 have any money to vote out we ought 

 to vote it to the delegates, but, our 

 Treasury being bankrupt, I do not see 

 what we can do. 



Mr. Miller — I think the delegate here 

 and the alternate are willing to pay 

 their own expenses. I move that the 

 $5 suggested be voted the National for 

 the expense of the Secretary. 



Mr. Bull — I have the same thing to 

 say about it. 



Mr. Wheeler — Second the motion. 



A member — If our delegates can pay 

 their own expenses, what is the matter 



with the National's Secretary paying 

 hig own expenses? 



Mr. Wheeler — I understand this gen- 

 tleman said like this: If you will pay 

 us $5 for expenses we will turn that 

 $5 over to help pay for the Review; if 

 that is not the case I will withdraw my 

 second to that motion. 



Mr. Miller — My motion was that the 

 $3 be given to defray the expenses of 

 the National Secretary of the Associ- 

 ation at the convention to be held in 

 Denver. 



Mr. Bull— I second that motion. 



Pres. Kannenberg — All in favor of 

 this motion that we donate $5 to this 

 Secretary of the National say aye; 

 contrary, no. 



The motion was lost. 



Mr. Hawkins — I make a motion that 

 we adjourn. 



Motion to adjourn seconded and car- 

 ried, to convene at 1:30 p. m. 



AFTERNOON SESSION. 



Meeting convened at 2 o'clock Jan- 

 uary 18, 1915. 



Pres. Kannenberg — Nominations are 

 now open for President. 



A member — Mr. President, I nom- 

 inate N. E. France for President. 



Motion seconded. 



Pres. Kannenberg — Mr. N. E. France 

 Is nominated; are there any other 

 nominations? 



Mr. France — I think you should elect 

 some one who lives near to Chicago, 

 some one whom you may depend on; 

 I have promised five different places 

 that I would be at their convention 

 this year, and you are the only one 

 where I have been. • 



A member — That is the reason you 

 should be President of this. 



Mr. France — If it is in order I would 

 like to nominate Mr. Kannenberg, our 

 present President. 



Mr. Wheeler — I second that nomina- 

 tion. 



Pres. Kannenberg — Are there any 

 other nominations? 



Mr. Simmons — I move you the nom- 

 inations be closed. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



Mr. Kannenberg — I appoint Brothers 

 Bull and Wheeler as tellers. 



The tellers made report as follows: 



Mr. France — 15; Mr. Kannenberg — 

 10. 



Pres. Kannenberg — I declare Brother 

 France elected as President for the
