Excerpt from Proceedings of the Eighteenth Convention: Held at Washington D. C., December 6 and 7, 1922 Because it was thought to be advisable that the annual meetings should coincide with the assembling of the Federal Congress, another convention was held in December, 1906, and conventions were held in December of each year thereafter until and including 1916. Because the Nation was at war, no conventions were held in 1917 or 1918, but two conventions were called for 1919, in February and December, respectively, followed by one at the regular time in 1920.
