Except in the case of two or more banks affiliated with the same holding company affiliate*, each bank in Group 2 is permitted to nominate a candidate for class A director and a candidate •Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, reads in part as follows: " . . . That whenever any two or more member banks within the same Federal reserve district are affiliated with the same holding company affiliate, participation by such member banks in any such nomination or election shall be confined to one of such banks, which may be designated for the purpose by such holding company affiliate."

On November 1,1944, copies of the list of candidates (indicating by whom nominated) and preferential ballots will be mailed so that, in the normal course of the mails, they will be received by all banks in Group 2 on November 2, 1944. The law provides that the ballot shall be cast within 15 days after receipt of this list. The polls will open on November 2, 1944, and will close at 12 o'clock noon on Friday, November 17, 1944.
