Mrs. Story Points to Record. Mrs. Story brings into the fight 8 fearlessness which is characteristic of her work for the soclety, as her can- didacy is bound to bring up preju- dices which are the result of continu- ous patriotic work, even after she jeft the chair In 1917. She insists that the issue at stake i3 too big for personal considerations, and that as a person she is unimportant, butasan advocate of principle s a prime neces- «ity in doing of the society’s work. tler candidacy has gained more than he usual notoriety for this reason. \ut she bases her claim for considera- +ion among her old friends and by the new ones upon the idca that her fecord s an administrator in extending the lisefulness of the organization, in re- moving its debt and harmonizing its divergent elements makes her & logi- cal choice at this time. Mrs, Hanger's Claims. Mrs. Hanger entered the contest when word reached Washington that Mrs. Willlam N, Reynolds of North Carolina had withdrawn on account of iliness. She claims to have the upport of Mrs. Minor and Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey, former president general, and their respective Yorces, and is counting upon them strongly to swing the victory for her. Propaganda which originated re- cently in the middle western states against Mrs, Hanger disconcerts her hut little. The stories_circulated in an attempt to injure her candidacy were to the effect that If she is elected her administration would be continuation of the Guernsey regime. “I do claim the support and in- Adorsement of Mrs. Guernsey, who made a tremendous success of her administration,” Mrs. Hanger said esterday. “I also claim the support of Mrs. Minor and her officlal family. But my work has shown that I am an independent. I am willing to con- eult and confer with the former lead- ers, but 1 will have a mind of my own."” Record of Her Services, Mrs. Hanger's varied services to the society through Several administrations as presidential personal page, chapter regent, state vice regent, vice presi- dent general as both chairman and member of many national committees and her present service as organizing secretary general have won her many supporters and high commendation. During the D.

Pennsylvania is “pulling” unusually hard to put Mrs. Cook in the chalr, because a president general has never been chosen from that state.
