PAN-STATE SOCIETY AN IMPORTANT UNIT Organization Plans, Through Mutual Co-operation, to Pro- mote Affiliaticn of States. BY MARGAR “T B. DOWNING. About two years ago when the num Bei o State > <. compactly or- 2 contributing a large share of the Capital, - impocing number of the 4%, some of the it members of the varions or ms formed a plan to unite in a pan o society in order that rep . tizens might he brought wsely and. through mutual co-operation. strengthen their unit in the whole body and spread their in fluence. One potent reason for this organization within the State organi- 7ations was to encourage the founding s in those States which ha failed to follow the trend and to sist in the rehabilitation of those which had become inactive, Representative Maurice H. Thatcher of Kentucky was among the lead- ers in this movement and associated with him were Representative Liloyd Thurston, then president of the Towa Society. and F. . Baggarley, pres- fdent of 1he Virgin g and on June 23, 192 as perfected with 1 Tee Lamar Robinson, representing th Kentucky Society, president: Mr. Rag garley the Virginia Society, first vice Matthew - O'Brien the Connecticut Society. president. and Miss Rede treasurer of the Minnesota thivd vice president: Dr. W Johannessen. president of the Tdaho Soclety, treasurer, and Miss Bdith Lathrop. president of the Nebraska Bociety: sechetary Meetings Held Monthly. president president second Jnhnson Society, N of Meetings are held monthly, on the first Tuesday after the first Monday, in the hoard room of the District Ruilding. The first of the present sea #on is scheduled for November 2 and a social gathering will be held on De. cember 7. sponsored by all the active societies and attended by hundreds of their membe and guests, Of the States which no longer main tain an active society, 4he most promi nent is New Jersey, and the revival of fts onee imports p ter of kee the pan. State officials 1919 have the citizens of New Jersey met in the social way. and it is the sole repre. sentative of the 13 ori which has not maintained of its home traditions in social “and matters. Until 1919 the New iety. which organized and constitution and by-laws 114, held regular conferences rted 4 of the ameni ) ar bodies. A po the State. Woodrow Wil ocenpied the Nation's presidential ve Lindley Garri Secretary of War, and Jers in many other posts of dignity, and in a sociil sense were on the crest of the wave. Senator James Kdgar Martine was active in the functions and some of the hanquets were among the notable features of the Winters of 1914-until 1916, But during the bitter days of the second Wilson campaign A vift was made in the political sense and the members have never gotten together since. Bt it is planned to dn so this coming season, and repre sentatives from New Jersey will be among those who will mect on Novem. ber 2 to consider just such problems Without Or; has no active thongh it made a fair beginning on March 1%, 1922, when some 25 or 30 citizons of this Commenwealth met in the home of Mr. and M Henry Thurtell, on Delafield place, and per fected an organization. Dwight J president. Mrs. Thurtell, vice president and treasurer, and Miss Louise Cooney Al the members, enthusia over the pros of the society a liberal initial payment was at the time. RBut gomehow this conld ekindled. Senator Key Pittman entertained the society at his home on Ridze road. and so also did Senator and Mrs. Tasker Lowndes Oddie. The Thurtells were tireless in their efforts and the Ne. vada folk of the District held many picnics and gave several notable en tertainments. In the musical fea tures Miss Gladys L. Woods, one first in in the inal patriotic son, Nevada Nevada rization. g was electod never i those who responded to the was vitation, prominent, =social, M abelle 1. G nd Mr. and Mrs 1. Hillman. The con- gressional delegition was sympathetic and Representative and Mrs. Samuel Shae Aventz entertained at their home. in Phelps place, several times during the Winter of 1923, Other llections of noney were made. Finally the treasurer. Mrs. Thurtell, suggested that as the society seemed B0 averse 1o spending the money in the usual way, it might be expended in presenting Walter Johnson, who had made the fame of the Washing: ton base ball team, and who had pre nd o viously married a daughter of Ne. vada, and a member of the State organtzation. with some token of ap preciation.

It a burden to carry bhut, under the auspices of the pan- State Society this will be entirely possible and with but little financial outlay. Plans for this State organi- zation will be considered in November. Wyoming has never organized, but Chambers Funerals - AS LOW AS several of its devoted sons and daugh- ters, Senator and Mrs. Francis E. Warren, Seffator and Mrs. John B. Kendrick anl former Representative and Mrs. Frank E. Mondell, have plans under way to make a beginning this coming season. Oregon made an effort last vear toward foregather- Ing its local citizens and one or two tentative plans were drawn in_the office of Senator Robert Stanfield. Oregon, like Nevada, Wyoming and others of the Far Western States, has but few of its citizens in Washing- ton, and the upkeep of a State so- clety is a_heavy drain on the. most fervent adherent of home traditions. But the idea of a general society like the Pan-State inspires hope of representation at the larger functions with a minimum of financial outlay. Neither New Mexico nor Arizona has made any attempt to congregate their citizens in Washington, and their am bition to follow the excellent example of an overwhelming number of other States will be inspired during this coming Winter, if the ideals of the Pan-State Soclety prevail. | Has No Plan of Affiliation. This organiZition has not vet an- nounced a plan of afliation other than the association of the officers and members of the regularly con- ducted bodies, but they have such a policy under advisement. The com- bined strength of all the societies is to be used in promoting the inter- ests and prosperity of the weaker members until such time as these may bear their own burden, is the hope of the future. As the present, how- ever, it is sometimes a_difficult task {for those which seem the most pros- perous of these organizations to keep a surplus in the treasury. or even to avold having a deficit. But the hop of the Pan-State Society are built on the tremendous progress made by | the different unitz in the past 10 and they argue a similar expansion as the vears roll hy.
