St. Louis, November 13, 1928.

TO T H E M E M B E R BANKS IN D IS T R IC T No. 8:
In accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act and my circular dated
September 28. 1928, in regard to election of directors of this bank to succeed John C. Martin, Class A
director, and W . B. Plunkett, Class B director, whose terms expire December 31, 1928, there is given on
the back hereof a list of the candidates nominated for such directors, indicating by whom nominated.
There is sent herewith to each bank in Group 3 a preferential ballot for use in voting on the candi­
dates for Class A director and to each bank in Group 2 a preferential ballot for use in voting on the
candidate for Class B director. There are also enclosed an envelope bearing on its face the certificate
in regard to the vote, an envelope marked “ Ballot" in which to seal the ballot, and a self-addressed
return envelope.
T h e ballot and certificate on the envelope must be executed by the officer who has been authorized
to cast the vote. A list of the designated officers was attached to my circular above mentioned. In
order that the ballot may be secret, the name of the bank and of the voting officer should not be written
on the ballot, but only on the certificate envelope, and the following procedure should be observed:
(1)

After the preferential ballot has been marked,

(2)

It should be placed in the envelope marked “ Ballot” and the envelope sealed.

(3)

After the certificate on the certificate envelope has been executed,

(4)

T he ballot envelope should be placed within the certificate envelope and the latter sealed.

(5)

Then this certificate envelope containing the sealed ballot envelope should be returned to
me in the self-addressed envelope.

Under the law, the ballot m ust be returned so as to reach me w ith in fifte e n d a ys after its re­
ceipt. The polls will open on November 15 and close at 3 p. m. on November 30. 1928. At that time
the ballot box will be opened in the Board Room of this bank, the sealed envelopes containing the bal­
lots will be opened, the votes counted and results of election announced. The candidates are invited
to be present or represented on that occasion.
While the banks in Group 1 will not vote in this election, this circular is sent to them without
forms for tlieir information.




Respectfully,
W IL L IA M McC. M A R T IN ,
Chairman of the Board.
