Tomorrow afternoon A meeting of Ih
South Omaha Live Stock exchange will b
held for the purpose of nominating officers
and dlrectora for tha year 1804. Thla meet
ing will ba held In the exchange hall at t
p. m. A president, vie president, three
members of the board ot dlrectora for the
full term of three year, and committee,
oh arbitration and appeala are to be chosen.
Tha retiring officers and director, are:
D. 8. Parkhurst, president; R. Qllchrlat,
vice president; E. 8. Harrell, W. I. Stephen,
Jay La,verty and P. A. Sanders, directors.
These directors hold over: Al Powell, W.
H. Dudley, V. E. Reed, Samuel Mort and
Sol. Degan.
Five membera of tha committee on ar
bitration will be nominated and five mem
ber, of tha committee on appeals.
The exchange will nominate a regular
ticket and post tha name, on th exchange
bulletin board. The election will ba held
at the first regular meeting In Januarys
So far there haa been no talk of an In
dependent ticket. An independent ticket,
should there be one, would not ba con
sidered until after the regular nomina
tions of the exchange had been made. In
caso there Is only the regular ticket In
the field the election will be merely an
endorsement of the nominations made by
the exchange.
Considerable Interest Is being manifested
by members of the exchange In the aa
lecHon of a president, vice president and
the three long-term directors. Little at
tention is being paid to the nomination of
men for the board of arbitration and the
committee of appeala.
