few members in them, group two or 

 three States together, and let the mem- 

 bers select a man for director, for they 

 are better able to judge as to fitness of 

 the man in their midst than are any 

 others. 



What do I know of a man's qualifica- 

 tions in New York, who has never held 

 an office in the Association ? Com- 

 paratively nothing. But I do know the 

 bee-keepers of Texas, and could cast an 

 intelligent vote in my own State. 



For instant, every State association 

 could select (in some way) at its annual 

 meetings the man its members thought 

 best fitted to fill the place. This would 

 bring about a more equal distribution 

 over the country of the board of direct- 

 ors, and that would enable them to 

 attend to any business that might be 

 necessary with less cost to the Asso- 

 ciation ; and that would " cut out " all 

 wirepulling across the State lines. We 

 could stand a little wire-pulling in the 

 State, as we would have some chance 

 of getting hold of the other end of the 

 wire ; but when they go to pulling up 

 in Canada (if they should) there is not 

 much chance for us Texans to " catch 

 on ". 



Now, if the rest of the members don't 

 see this as I do, I hope they maybe 

 able to present something better.
