printed in the Form 'D' for each province containing
the names and addresses of all candidates who shall be
duly qualified and nominated in accordance with Bye

province arranged in alphabetical order with the names
of their respective nominators, and giving the number
of attendances during the year at Council meetings of
any candidate who was a member of the outgoing
Council, and shall at least one week before the date of
the poll or election in each year send papers to each
member of the Society whose principal place of practice
