VOLUME IV. EDITORIAL OFFICE, ROCK ISLAND, ILL. State Camps Held MARCH, 1903. Belegates Elected and State Ofticers Chosen—Where Next State Camps Will Be Held The several state camps, so far as re- ported, were very harmonious gather- ings. While there was a little strife for endorsements in some of the states, in the most of them the action was harmonious and little opposition. The Supreme Camp is to be held at Indian- apolis Tuesday, May 12, and there were many in each state who wished to be sent as delegates. Of course, with only 132 delegates to be chosen in the twen- ty-six states of the jurisdiction, it left only a very few for each state, some of the smallest having only one dele- gate, while the largest had only twen- ty-eight. The basis of representation to the Supreme Camp was one delegate for each 1000 members in a state. The following shows the membership in each state, the number of delegates from each state to the Supreme Camp and the number of Supreme Officers who will have a vote in the Supreme Camp, making a total of 132 dele- gates and 19 Supreme Officers, or a total of 151. In addition, three members of the ritual and law com- ‘mittee, three members of the benefici- ary committee, the editor of the of- ficial paper and the Beneficiary Re- corder are also made members of the Supreme Camps, with all the rights of | a delegate except to vote: To Represent Whom. pole part sieey Sh sxe Wehis.ce easier slananic ; hs Me Big Sa On eae eae a 14,257 NIDOOR RIT is oie e foe hae js eel 12,814 PRUEBAS 6 es Sows Sa0 oe a 12,773 Minnesota Nebraska MICH RA Nc optic ic dls cs ite MSSROUT ge dlic ool cx South Dakota Indiana OOO Sse seal ak Seed kes Washington Oklahoma Colorado California Members.
