Selection of Officers for the Coming Congress
The committee on permanent organization read and adopted its report naming officers for the seventeenth congress. George H. Barstow of Texas as president and H. D. Loveland of Colorado as service president lead a slate that includes Ralph Mitchell of New Mexico as second vice president and J. D. O Donall of Montana as third vice president. The convention proposed creating a foreign secretary post for Dr EB McQueen Gray and a secretary of publicity position to be filled by F H Griswold of Chicago. The report passed without dissent, and officers will assume duties at the session’s close, though President Goudy wished them to assume immediately until the end of the congress.
