Mr. W. E. Britton: If any man deserves the honor of being elected 
President of this Association on account of long, faithful service, that 
man is A. F. Burgess: 
It has been customary to authorize the Secretary to cast the ballot for 
the election of these officers. Knowing that Mr. Burgess is a very modest 
man, and wishing to relieve him of having to cast a ballot for his own elec¬ 
tion, I move you the stenographer be authorized to cast the ballot. 
President A. G. Ruggles : Those in favor of such a motion will rise. 
. . . The members arose . . .
