Thirty-fourth Annual Convention. ^^'T 



REPORT OF NOMINATING COMMITTEE. 



Mr. Campbell, Chairman. 



Mr. Chairman: — 



Your nominating committee begs leave to submit the follow- 

 ing names : 



President — L. N. Wiggins, Springfield. 



Vice President — J. P. Mason, Elgin. 



Directors — W. E. Janes, Hinsdale; C. E. Lee, Urbana; 

 M. S. Campbell, Genoa; A. F. Jensen, Effingham; J. F. San- 

 mann, Havanna, R. R. No. 2. 



On motion, duly seconded, report of the nominating com- 

 mittee was adopted as read, and the secretary was instructed to 

 cast the ballot of the association for the nominees, which was 

 done and they were duly declared elected to the offices named. 



Mr. Wiggins resumes the Chair. 



The Chairman : — The election of the secretary-treasurer of 

 our association is in the hands of the directors. The directors 

 meet next month and appoint the other officers. 



Secretary Caven : — The reports of the year cannot be sub- 

 mitted until the expenses of this convention are figured up and 

 regularly audited, and it is also the custom of this association to 

 present that report at the meeting of the directors when the other 

 officers are selected. That report and the other reports are pub- 

 lished in the printed report that we get out every year, giving 

 the proceedings of the convention in full and a report of the ex- 

 penses, and receipts. 



We are a little handicapped in getting out our reports in 

 a hurry. The report is always ready to be gotten out immediate- 

 ly but on account of the appropriation from the state, we are 

 not permitted to make a contract for printing our report until 

 the funds to be used for that purpose become available, and they 

 do not become available until the first of July, so we have to 

 wait until that time before we can make a contract and then we 

 get our reports out as soon after that as possible, if it were 

 possible for us to use the appropriation right away, we could 

 get our reports out several months earlier. 



The President: — It looks as though you were not going to 

 let me out of this and I appreciate the honor very much. This
