Acting President Tucker was over ruled by the Board of Directors and all petitions received after Oct. 1st by the Secly[?] can not be placed on the Offical Ballot, but will be mentioned in a bulletin accompanying the ballot. F.J Ackerman has withdrawn his candidacy[?]. Word from Joe Fortier says that he expects to be out of the Army soon and hence will be able to have a very close contact as well as interest in NFFF affairs. 

After checking the platforms and letters from the various candidates we would like to go on record as endorsing the following, whose past records and avowed intention speak only of the best interests of Fandom and the NFFF in particular: W.Dunkelberge, President, K.Martin Carlson: Art Widner, Secly-Treas[?]; Board of Directors; Harry Warner, Jr. (Chairman), Dale[?] Tarr; James "Rusty" Hevelin, Rick Sneary and Joe Fortier. None of these candidates are "rubber stamps" or affiliated with any clique or "pressure group" and unbiased trustworthy administration would result from their election. None of them are seekers of personal glory but interested in the NFFF's advancement.
