SMITH (DAY
BE TRIED.
President of the T. P. A. May Re
Asked to Resign.
What flessrs. Jones Gardner and
James T. Hay Say.
Unless present plans miscarry an ef
fort will he made at the meeting of the
Travelers' Protective Association to be
held at the Kimball house Saturday ev
ening to have a resolution passed rec
ommending that the board of dltuctors
eslt forsths resignation of Mr. E. 17.
Smith, the president of the state divi
sion.
There seems to he a great difference
of opinion as to whether or not Mr.
Smith Is president and whether any
resignation from htm Is necessary to
vacate his position.
Mr. Smith, at the time of his elec
tion, was a resident of Georgia, but has
since accepted a position with Hand,
McNally & Co., at Chicago, and now
lives there.
There seems to be no special provi
sions in the bylaws for such a case,
but it is generally accepted that a man
cannot be president of the Georgia di
vision and live tn Illinois. On this
point there may he a scrap, as there is
bad blood between Mr. Smith and his
friends and other factions in the asso
ciation.
There have been two little unpleas
ant happenings between Mr. Smith and
his brother drummers which have been
kept very quiet anti were kept out of
public print.
The Journal of yesterday reviews (he
whole matter.
Th" first difficulty re plied In a suit
for Sls. brought hy Mr. Smith against
the post of which he is a member.
Trouble Over sls.
Messrs. Smith and P. C. Cashman
wets appointed delegates to a national
convention at Terre Haute, the latter
al the special request of his post here.
Mr. J. E. Maddox rose in meeting and
moved that Inasmuch as Cashman 'was
to go at the urgent request es his post
and was going solely at their request j
that his expenses be paid hy the post, j
This was unanimously agreed to and

There were two candidates for presl- J

This was sent to Mr. Smith, w ho refus- |

that It had no tight to ask for his res
ignation. as It was a matter for the
lwotrd of directors to ronslder. There
upon the Augusta pest withdrew Its re
quest for the gentleman’s resignation.
Augusta Director Interviewed.
This is the state headquarters of the
T. P. A.
Today a Herald repoi ter railed on
Mr. J. Jones Gardiner and Mr. James
T. May, both of tbe state board. They
read theJournalartlcleforthe first time.
They both acknowledged that they had
received letters from prominent T. P.
A.'s in different posts In the stale,
making serious charges against Mr.
Smith and wanting to know if thero
was no way to get him out of the po
sition of state president. These letters
were of o private character. In each
case Messrs. May and Gardiner wrote
the parties that nothing could be done,
in thpir opinion, unless each post in
the state rendered (heir grievances in
proper form before the state, board. If
that were dene, then the board would
act accordingly.
"Our Atlanta friends are wrong
about one thing: they say the dele
gates went to Omaha instructed. That
Is a mistake; they went unlnstrueted,
hut Ihe majority of them went there to
