BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The lustiest infant in the family of local societies is that of Montana, which counts only a few months of organized existence, but which has al- ready made a record for achievement and for ambitious projects. Montana people had been meeting for some years in a casual way and getting to- gether whenever any special occasion demanded, but on February 10, 1926, at the invitation of T. Emmitt Mc- Kenzie, the most prominent citizens of the “Treasure State” met in his home, 1435 N street northwest, and founded their organization, the only one established in this present year. Assoclated with Mr. McKenzie was Representative Scott Leavitt, and ow- ing to the energy and tact of these two, the society began under the most prosperous auspices, and already a banquet, two balls and a literary en- tertainment have been recorded in its annals. The other members of the congressional delegation, Senators Thomas J. Walsh and Burton K. Wheeler and Representative John M. ivans, cordially assisted Representa- tive Leavitt and Mr. McKenzie in forming the State society, with the result that practically every citizen of Montana residing in the D Columbla has been enrolied. Will Advertise State. With the charters of 45 prosperous State societies to guide them, the Mon- tana leaders have taken the best types and have combined a closely Knit or- ganization with freedom of action and a diversity of objectives. First of 211, the members wish the other vesi- || dents of the big Republic to know something of their tremendous re- sources in the material sense and of the magic beauty of their national parks as recreation spots. This season the programs have been largely to en- tertain and to attract, but next year a definite policy will present through the 2 speakers and in an occasional pic- torial lecture some of the reasons which make the Montana man and woman so proud of the State and sq anxious for others to test claims for themselve Montana has a numerous Catholic yopulation composed of Irish and Jtalian settlers, and to this may be added as large a German element in which Hebrews predominate, and with these are the average Americans of various Christian sects emigrating from Eastern or Middle States in the days of the gold rush and in the slow development of the State as a sine and copper mining center. A imore harmonious group of citizenry cannot be shown by any other Common- wealth than is in these divergent ele- devotion to the common cause, the welfare of the State, is sufficient rea- =on to show why the youngest mem- ber of the State socletles is also one of the most virile. Third State in Size. Montana, the third State of the Union in size, and which has chosen || the potent words “Gold and Silver”™ as its motto, has many important phases of history, and each of these will be commemorated in the amenities of the Jocal society when it has finally announced an annual program. The region East of'the great Rocky Moun- tain chain was included in the Louisi- ana purchase, and it has many intrepid pioneer missionaries which it honors among its founders and who were connected with the French occupation. ‘Western and central Montana were carved from Oregon and Idaho, and i each section has a towering figure in its early history who has'been honored as State hero. This rich territory was admitted into the Union by President Benjamin Harrison on November 8, || 1889, and this date, State 'day, will re- ceive recognition from the Montana Society annually, now that it is well organized and ready for work. In all probability this will be the date of the first meeting and at which officers will be elected and the program of the Winter announced. Another signifi- cant day which will not be overlooked was April 26, 1880, when the Utah end Northern Railroad, subsequently merged into the Union Pacific system, was opened from Butte to Ogden. Three yvears later the lines extended through all of the State, and Montana fervently commemorates the pa:«s!ng of the covered wagon and the coming of the iron horse. May Have Annual Banquet. Indian warfare, the peaceful efforts of missionaries of several sects, and especially the heroic Belgian, Rev, Teter J. de Smet, will all in due course be the subject of lectures and of literary debates in the monthly meetings of the Montana Seciety. The territorial governors and those elected after the admission into the Union will be presented in the his- torical series, and the resources of the region and the wonderful vegetables and the succulent grains and fruits will be explained to the denizens of lTes: pulent states and in the most ple: nt guise. No regular place of meeting has yet been assigned by the president and officers, and it is likely that the present policy of specifying the point will continue. Two dances were given at the Lee House, in May and June. The banquet on April 26 probably will be an annual event on this date here- urter. It was held last April at Hotel Hamilton. Senator Walsh spoke and Senator Wheeler also addressed the guests and Mr. McKenzie was toast- master. Every citizen of Montana in ‘Washington, unless detained by some Imperative reason, was present on this occasion. From November until June ‘meetings are to be held hereafter and during the Summer picnics and al fresco entertainments at convenient spots in the District or in Virginia will keep the Montana folks in mind of their distant home. It is likely the society will take up the matter of absentee_ voting, since the distance makes this a necessity for a large number of the suffragists of both sexes. The State laws offer no im- pediment to voting by mail, and even the preliminaries of the primary may be arranged from the designated points in Washington. The founders and first officers of the Montana State society are: T. Em- mitt McKenzie, president; Herbert W. Stelger and Miss Jeanette Ezechile, first and second vice presidents; Miss Grace_Ginzberger, secretary, and Wil liam P. Dongelly, treasurer. There are several important standing com- mittees, the reception committee hav- ing es its chairman Henry G. Gio- vennatti, Miss Fannie Nevman is| chairman of the membership commit- | tee. Miss Imogene Howell, assisted by Stephen P. Murphy, is chairman of the refreshmént committee. The enter- tatinment committee is represented by :unel Daly, Gertrude R. Luce and || Mary Culbertson.
