Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents arguments and proceedings from a hearing held by the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion in 1904. The hearing was convened to consider the constitutionality of a bylaw passed by the Commandery, which allowed members to vote by mail in the annual election of officers. The arguments for and against the bylaw's constitutionality were presented by a committee of counsel appointed by the Commandery, and the hearing was presided over by a special committee of three appointed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Order. The committee ultimately ruled that the bylaw was constitutional, but the Ohio Commandery appealed the decision to the Commandery-in-Chief. This book provides a valuable historical record of the debate over voting by mail within the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and sheds light on the legal and procedural issues surrounding the adoption of new voting methods in the early 20th century.
