R. L. Crampton Elected Secretary
The Illinois Bankers Association, out of the ten or more candidates, at the Decatur convention, selected Richard L. Crampton of Chicago. Mr. Crampton has been with both the Northern Trust Company and the National Bank of the Republic and is a man of ability plus experience. He is a master of details and the further development of the paid secretaryship plan of organization for Illinois will be certain hands. The convention was much entertained by the earnestness of all the candidates and by the antics of some. Most of the candidates conducted a quiet and orderly quest for votes as did Mr. Crampton. All will be better known and benefited in many ways by having been in the race. Those who were most active in the campaign besides Mr. Crampton are F. M. Lock-wood of Kankakee, S. Y. Whitlock of Tuscola, and C. Frank Spearin of Chicago. The others only were as a rule only nominal candidates.
Mr. Crampton was tendered the place when created but could not then take it, so, as was said in The Chicago Banker, he in reality was a “sort of delayed first choice.”
