ANNUAL REUNION OF
CONFEDERATE VETS
Memphis Selected for 1924
Convention City—General
Halderman, Commander.
New Orleans, La.—General William
B. Haldeman of Louisville, Ky., was
elected commander in chief of the
United Confederate veterans at the
closing business of the annual reunion
at New Orleans Thursday, and Mem-
phis, Tenn., was selected as the 1924
reunion city.
Three names were offered for the
post of commander in chief when nom-
inations were called for, those of Gen-
eral Haldeman, General William A.
Collier of Memphis and General E. W.
Kirkpatrick of McKinney, Texas. The
name of General Collier was with-
drawn before the voting began, leaving
the field to the Kentuckian and the
Texan. General Haldeman polled 771
and General Kirkpatrick 368 votes.
Only Memphis and Dallas were in
the contest for the next reunion and
the Memphis speakers were rein-
forced with a petition more than 100
yards in length asking the veterans
to the Tennessee city. It was a nip
and tuck race between the two as
the balloting progressed, but Memphis
always kept a jump in the lead, and
when the roll call had been completed
had polled 620 votes to 512 for Dallas.
A number of the veterans had ar-
gued that the reunions, because of the
age of delegates, always should be
held in a central city of the South in
order that the journey might not be
too hard on those residing in the more
distant states.
W. McDonald Lee was re-elected
commander, in chief of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans in session at
New Orleans Thursday. He defeated
B. H. Richardson, commander of Camp
New Orleans, by the vote
