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.

They both acknowledged that they had received letters from prominent T. P.

These letters were of o private character. In each case Messrs.

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.
