Ek pe a Question Reports

Of Finley Wilson~s Resignation

WASHINGTON ~ ANP ~Reports that J; Finley Wilson, exalted ruler, plans to resign aS
head of the Elks if he is elected
to the New York State Senate
were questioned here last week
by Elk leaders.

Basis of their reasoning seems
to be the fact that Wilson is the
one of the highest paid frater~Yidl- executives in America. His
gifts and gratitudes, including
expenses borne by local lodges
for every trip he mades, are 2stimated to run around. $10,000
yearly beside his salary,

~Wilson, they ~hold, knows~ he
cannot win the New York leislative post because the district

is ~ controlled ~ ~by:; Democrats,
Doubt was expressed if he would
exchange his exalted rulership
for the state senatorship.
Wilson~s near 30-year rulership
of the Elks has made him a
wealthy man, the same sources

alert businessman. He is reported to own valuable leeuti in
