TO TH E MEMBER BANKS IN D ISTRICT No. 8:
In accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act and my circular
dated September 18, in regard to election of directors of this bank to succeed the Class A director
and the Class B director whose terms expire December 31 of this year, and a deceased Class B
director, 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 1 a preferential ballot for use in voting on the
candidate for Class A Director, and to each bank in Groups 2 and 3 a preferential ballot for use in
voting on the candidates for Class B directors. 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.
The ballot and certificate on the envelope must be executed by an 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)
(4)
(5)

After the certificate on the certificate envelope has been executed,
The ballot envelope should be placed within the certificate envelope and the latter sealed.
Then this certificate envelope containing the sealed ballot envelope should be returned
to me in the self-addressed envelope.

Under the law, the ballot must be returned so as to reach me within fifteen days after its receipt.
The polls will open on November 3 and close at 2 p. m. on November 18, 1941. At that time the bal­
lot box will be opened in the Board Room of this bank, the sealed envelopes containing the ballots
will be opened, the votes counted and the results announced. The candidates are invited to be pres­
ent or represented on that occasion.

Respectfully,
