SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
MEETING FOR THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS. 
City Hall, Milwaukee, 
September 11, 1874. 
As required by the constitution, and in conformity to legal no¬ 
tice given by the secretary, the life members constituting the Wis¬ 
consin State Agricultural Society, met in the City Hall, by courtesy 
of the city officials, at 8 o’clock P. m., for the election of officers for 
the year 1875, President Stilson in the chair. After calling to or¬ 
der, the president said that the society was again convened 
by constitutional requirement to elect officers for the ensuing 
year. He hoped the deliberations of members would be harmon¬ 
ious, and that the result of their action would be the election of of¬ 
ficers who felt a deep interest not, only in the success of the soci¬ 
ety financially, but who would use every reasonable effort to ad¬ 
vance the great industrial interests which was was the prime work 
of the organization. 
Mr. J. B. Shaw, of Milwaukee, moved that a committee of one 
from the state at large, and one from each Congressional district be 
appointed to recommend the names of persons to be elected to the 
various offices. Vice President Clark moved an amendment, that 
the one at large be appointed by the chair, and the one from each 
Congressional district be selected by the life members present from 
such district, which amendment was accepted, and the motion was 
then unanimously agreed to, and the chair appointed H. L. Palmer, 
of Milwaukee, for the state at large, and the following named gen¬ 
tleman were elected by each district, as follows: 
Congressional District —G. W. Wiley, Elkhorn.
