NEWDAR.ERASEEN ONELECTION DAY #Harmony Assures Successful Administration for Mrs. Brosseau. BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER. No stretch of the imagination was ecessary last night to foresee a har- onlous and successful term ahead for the administration-to-be, so much » love feast was the Daughters’ as- sembly for nominations. The voting eoday is a mere formality, with the «®oeption of the contested office of vice president general, and will set the seal upon a new era in the soclety, for which Mrs. Cook has worked patiently and unstintedly. They are a very hand- some and distinguished group, this new board that Mrs. Alfred J. Bros seau will head as president general. Mr. Brosseau was there last night, looking very proud and pleased, and Gen. Helmick, looking quite ditto, was with him. TUp in the balcony, in one of the boxes, sat Adam Wyant of the House of Representatives and Gen. Herbert M. Lord, director of the hudget, who also got themselves in- troduced by Mrs. Cook as trailing clouds of their wives' glory reat Deal of Oratory. was a great deal of orate beginning with Gov. Farrington and friendly spe about and the presentatlon of its 1 flag. continuing with the impassioned ex ion of Rev. W. Warren Giles st Orange, who was able to be funny indeed when he chos d who informed his | audience that Princeton was the only oasis in all the Jersey desert. One rather wondered wh: of an oasis he meant! Then nominating speeches began and flourished, with only Ver- mont presenting its candidate on the basls of “strict common sense.’” Mrs. Ell Helmick, slated as regls- trar general, told a funny story on herself and Gen. Helmick about the time when they were in their first| post and ver t it. “Jimmy” Harbord—the same 0. James G.” | who wired the thousand-dollar check from Paris recently—was an old school friend of theirs; and, having by some fluke failed to make the en Trance examinations to West Point, | he come West, &, ick’s compx s up to & commis it, of course, so long as he wa the ranks he was persona non grata socially at the post. Mrs. Ilelmick overrode the unwritten law as long e safely could by inviting him to house frequently. When she found that she couldn't mix him in general social affairs and keep from injuring her husband, she declared to the officers and their wives in no un- certain terms, but with the twinklo in her eve, I suspect, that thereafter she would be at home until noon on Sun- days. And so “Jimmy" came to din- ner once a week unmolested, until the coveted commission arrived, and the ban was ralsed! Army Well Represented. The Army is well represented in the daughters’ conclaves. Mrs. Amos Fries, wife of the general in charge of Chemical Warfare, who is national chairman of publicity, has been one of the hardest workers at the con- gress. Mrs. Fries was born in Ne- braska and graduated from high achool, in Oregon, with the general. But she went to Columbia and he to West Point before they were married. Afterward they lived in the Philip- pines and the usual routine of Army posts, coming to Washington, how- ever, more than 10 years ago. They have six children. ~Mrs, Fries has worked actively with the Girl Scouts, the Parent-Teacher Assoclation and | the League of American Pen Women. Two years ago she wrote a song for the defense test, called “I Didn't Ralse My Boy to Be a Slacker,” in answer 1o the other version that was popular before 1917. This was pub- lished by the Reserve Officers Asso- ciation and has been run into niany thousand copies. Her other writing has been along the lines of features, many of which are used as editorials and widely copled. She has given a series of radio talks to children on American heroes, and_she is on the national board of the D. A. R. Mrs. J. S. Frelinghuysen, candidate for curator general, in addition to her interest in Americana, which was detalled in the speech nominating her last night, has the distinction of being a member of the board of the American wing of the Metropolitan Museum, in New York. Her husband is the former Senator from New Jersey. Record of Mrs. L. . Hobart. Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart, who came 10 the congress as Ohlo’s candidate for vice president general, has been changed to that of organizing secre- tary general on Mrs. Brosseau's ticket. Mrs. Hobart has served in many im- portant positions, both in and out of the society. She is a resident of Cin- cinnati and has been regent of the chapter there three times, the only person ever to be so honored. In the State organization she has acted as both vice regent and for the past three vears as regent. She is a genealogist of ability, and held the office of State secretary of the Mayflower Descend- ants. She was first_president of the national American Legion Auxillary and senior vice president of the In- ternational Federation, having de- clined the presidency because of ill- ness in her family. During the past month she has been appointed to serve on the Ohio commission for the sesquicentennial with the governor and three men, she being the only woman selected. Seventy-elght regents and delegates were present at the Hotel Roosevelt | was for internal order.

The only contests for any offices | are for the seven vice prfilde!\l!l general who are to be elected this | year. Eleven candidates have entered the fleld and four must face disap- pointment when the results are an- nounced either late_tonight or to- morrow morning. No heated ek tioneering has been conducted, how- ever, by any of the aspirants to the offices. _The candidates follow: Mrs. Eugene H. Ray of Kentucky, | Mrs. John Brown Herron of Pennsyl vania, Mrs, Charles Read Bangs of New Jersey, Mrs. W. O. Spencer of North Carolina, Mrs. Benjamin Cuch- man of Maine, Mrs. Lyman Stockey of California, Mrs. Harry Hyman of Texas, Mrs. George Warren of New Hampshire, Mrs. John M. Beavers of the District of Columbia, Mrs, Samuel Selter of Indiana and Mrs. Julius Y. Talmadge of Georgia. Mrs. John Campbell, for 23 vears a natlonal of- ficer, is the lone candidate for the post of honorary vice president gen- eral, and she will be elected unani- mously. Practically no confusion marked the opening of the polls today. Under the direction of Battalion Chief O'Connor of the Fire Department, a perfect bal- loting system had been arranged, and it worked so well that the only com- plaint heard was that the delegates did not leave the auditorium and cast their ballots as fast as the election clerks could take care of them. Ballot Cast by States. As usual, the balloting was by States, and under this system it was a woman from Alabama, that State coming first on the alphabet, who had the honor of casting the vote that really decided the issue then and there. But she disappeared before she could be identified. Committee Heads Report. During the balloting, the Congress continued in session as usual. After the regular formalities, reports were heard from committees in the follow- ing order: legislation, Mrs. Ben John- son; Liberty Loan fund, Miss Isabell W. Gordon; Manuel for Immigrants, Mrs. John L. Buel; memorial for Caro- line Scott Harrison, Mrs. John G. Lippelman; National Old Trails Road, Mrs. John Trigg Moss; patriotic edu- cation, Mrs. Robert J. Reed; patriotic lectures and lantern slides, Miss Caro- lene S. Smith, and Pilgrims Memorial Fountain, Mrs. George Maynard Minor. In reporting for the legislative com- mittee, Mrs. Johnson said that al- though the committee had been in existence only a short time it could lay before the congress some facts denoting progress in getting helpful legislation through the United States Congress. One of these was the enabling act, which makes it possible for the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion to proceed now with the sale of the bonds through which Constitu- tion Hall is to be erected as the meet- ing place for future continental congresses. yesterday at a luncheon given by Vir- ginla. A chair in new Constitution Hall was voted In honor of Mrs. James Reese Schick, and one of the bells in the Virginia carillon memorial to the boys of that State who lost thelr lives in the World War will be given by the Virginia Daughters. Kentucky’s Candidate. Among the candidates for vice pres jdent general, the one from Kentucky, Mrs. Eugene H. Ray, has the interest- ing record of having been chosen honorary state regent for life, unani- mously, at the recent election. She was able during her term as Staf regent, to locate a “Real Daughter, Monala W. Huff, living far back in the Kentucky mountains, and visited her in her distant home. Mrs. Ray, herself, is a member of nine patriotic societies. From New Jersey, the daughter of three generations of bankers, Mrs. Charles Read Banks is interested in financial and civic problems as well as soclal. She is a director in a Plain- field bank, and a member of its city board of education. Just before the war, she organized a small class of foreign-born girls,and they were the ones who sent the first donation to devasted Belgium. Out of that group has grown a large and completely equipped settlement house. Mrs, Banks has also spent much time help- ing in the State hospitals for war veterans. In the D. A. R. she s retiring State ceg:m for New Jersey, and their can- didate for vice president general. And she can boast the astounding fact of belonging te & patriotic organiza.

A blll prepared by Mr. William Tyler Page_ was introduced in the House by Representative Fenn of Connecticut, and was referred to the committee on pensions, which com- mittee very promptly gave us a patient hearing. We cannot foretell what their report may be, owing to the fact that this measure may es- tablish a precedent. “The chairman of the committee as- e tions, among them the Colonial Dames, Founders and Patriots, Daughters of 1812, Daughters ‘of American_Colonists, the Soclety for Sulgrave Manor, etc. Retiring Chaplain General. The retiring chaplain general, Mrs. Rhett Goode, who has held almost an unaccountable number of offices ' in the D. A. R., and in philanthropic and civic organizations, cherishes as her proudest one, her honorary life chair- manship as organizer in the Alabama Red Cross. She was the first woman in the South to volunteer for service after war was declared in 1914.

It has been completed, she said, and, with the exception of a few miles, it is a hard surface road from the shores of the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific, and, ‘“whereas the pioneer of the earlier day traveled months to reach the Western coast, it is now a matter of a comparatively few days’ pleasant travel.” $12,000 Fund Completed. “It gives your national chairman a decided thrill of joy and pride in you and your work well done to be able to announce today .that the fund of $12,000 necessary to erect the 12 | markers at approximately $1,000 each, as voted by the congress of 1924, has been contributed or pledged in full, and this fund is now available and the work of erecting the markers may proceed as soon as a suitable design shall be chosen Moss continued. “The States come forward this year and shown renewed interest and a determination to finish up this piece of work, and for the wonderful coroperation extended to this com- mittes its members are deeply grate- With the completion of these re- ports, the congress adjourned for luncheon to reconvene at 2 o'clock, when reports of additional committees will be heard.
