well taken. Those in favor of the motion will indicate in the usual manner.

The motion unanimously prevailed.

Mr. Short: Mr. President, just one further word. Fresno is not quite as big a town as Sacramento or San Francisco, and it will be entirely proper and within order for any members coming down there to bring their wives along with them -they won't be hampered or embarrassed by having them along, and we cordially, with our other invitations, extend an invitation to the members to bring the ladies of their families with them. We will see that they are entertained and enjoy themselves. (Applause.)

The President: Is there any other business to come before the Association?

Mr. McLaughlin: Before we close, I desire to make a .motion upon an application which I hold in my hand. It is the application of Hiram W. Johnson, Governor of the State of California, to become a member of this body. I move that the application for membership be approved and accepted by this body before adjournment.

The President: The motion is made to elect Governor Johnson a member of this Association, and to approve his application for membership before adjournment.

The Secretary: I would like to move as an amendment to that, Mr. President, that the by-law affecting the matter be waived, and in suggesting that amendment, I call attention to the fact that we have no honorary membership, therefore this is the only honor that we can confer upon our Governor-election by a popular vote.

Governor Johnson was unanimously elected to membership in the Association.

The President: Before we adjourn, I desire to announce that the Executive Committee, consisting of the elected officers of the Association, the President, the retiring President, the Secretary, and Treasurer, and the five members of the Executive Committee just elected, will meet immediately after the adjournment of this meeting in the room at the far corner of this building, and that, at that time, if the members of the Placer County Bar Association desire to present the matter that was heard before the Association yesterday, and that came up in the Grievance Committee, it will come before that

meeting for the action of the Executive Committee before we leave the city.

The President: Gentlemen, is there any other business before adjournment? The Legislative Council holds over for another year.

ADJOURNMENT.

Mr. Short: I move we adjourn sine die, Mr. President.

Mr. Kollmyer: I second the motion.

The convention adjourned sine die.
