PROTEST AGAINST PETITIONERS FOR DEGREES

Every consideration should be given to a protest which is registered by Master Masons and by Lodges against petitioners for degrees in other Lodges, but such objection registered by a lodge in the form of resolution against the admission of any petitioner in another Lodge does not constitute ipso facto an impediment to the admission of such petitioner into our Fraternity. After protests are received by the Lodge to which a petition has been presented, that Lodge alone may determine by ballot whether the petitioner shall be elected or rejected. (Proc. 1925, p.69).
