| RS, HOBART WINS | SOCIETY ELECTION {'_Bonstitution Hall Is Dedi- cated—Mrs. Brosseau Gives Aims. (Continu First Page) Samuel Jackson Kramer, New York, cu-ator general, 1,269 votes. E'ght of twelve candidates for vice rrr\xident general were elected, as fol- ows: Mrs, Daniel Merchon Garrison, Mary- |* Jand; Mrs. Ralph Van Landingham, North Carolina; Mrs. William L. Man- chester, Rhode Island; Mrs, Katherine White Kittredge, Vermont; Mrs. Wil- Ham Shaw Smith, Maine; Mrs. N. How- land Brown, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Robert Bruce Campbell, Kansas, and Mrs. Her- bert Backus, Ohio. Delegates Greeted by Curtis. The election returns were brought to| * convention floor late last evening, | #fter the delegates had been greeted by Vice President Curtis and viewed a showing of the motion picture, “King of Kings.” Shortly before midnight, Miss Katherine Nettleton, State regent of Connecticut and chairman of tellers, announced the returns. Mrs. Talmadge was the first person to congratulate Mrs. Hobart. Immed- jately after Mrs, Brosseau, the presid- ing officer, hed announced the result and declared Mrs. Hobart elected, Mrs. ‘Talmadge walked to the front of the platform and warmly eted the new president general. e two wumen shook hands and suddenly Mrs. Tal- madge leancd forward and kissed Mrs. Hobart on the cheek. The audience, many of whom had crowded the aisles in the excitement, responded to Mrs. ‘Talmadge's cordial greeting with great applause. In view of the late hour, Mrs. Hobart did not address the Congress. She and the other successful candidates will be inducted into office tomorrow morning and at that time she will outline her views to the delegates. Former Legion Auxiliary Leader. Mrs. Hobart, & member of the society's executive committee and the first na- tional president of the American Legion Auxiliary, was on the platform this mornnig as the Congress formally set forth its opinions on policies of national defense and education. “Anti-American elements are work- | ing steadily to overthrow our Consti- tutional form of Government.” the society declared in the resolution urg- | ing an oath for teachers. “The children of the public schools of the United States are being drawn in communist nuclei within the schools through the establishment of branches of the Workers' (Communist) known as the Young Pioneers and the | Young Workers League. “Such Communist nuclei instigate re- volt against all authorized authority, compel allegiance to the red flag, teach | the children to hate our Government and denounce its time honored insti- | tutions. “Published articles have appeared praising the Young Pioneers as if to throw school authorities off guard until the Communists have completed their revolutionary purpose of forming cells, sections, fractions and nuclei wherever possible.” It was resolved “that we, the repre- sentatives of the patriotic organizations participating in the women's patriotic conference on national defense, urge upon the school authorities in every city to set up barriers against the entrance of anti-American organizations solved, that we advocate greater care in the selection of instructors for our schools, more widespread interest in curriculum and text books and a| | into the schools; and be it further re- | | deeper understanding of methods or}pemh'. | instruction, “And be it further resolved, that we | further the enactment of an oath of allegiance to the United States as one of the qualifications requisite for teach- | leA“d“‘ the schools and colleges of our nd.” Curtis Praises Work. _The congress also adopted a resolu- tion thenking Vice President Curtis for addressing the delegates. Congratu- lating the society on its work, Mr. Curtis concluded his remarks with the declaration: “I hope the time will come when no | man or women will be weicome in this | country who does not love it and the flag and believe in our form of Govern- ment.” “The people of this country know | and appreciate the good work your | organization is doing,” he asserted, “You have every reason to be proud of the record of the Revolutionary sol- diers. They knew the value of freedom, for they fought for it. They knew the necessity for national defense, and we are all proud of the firm stand your patriotic organization has taken for national defense and ample pre- paredness. “The historical places of our wonder- ful country should be restored and pro- tected, and I congratulate the members of your organization on the good work they have done and are doing in this regard. Gratified by Kansas’ Report. “It was gratifying to me to read in your report of 1928 that you found the people of my home State—Kansas—en- thusiastic over the restoring and pre- serving of historical places. 2 “We all love the flag of our country, and it is, indeed, gratifying fo know that your organization has taken on the duty of giving instructions as to its proper use. “Our flag is the emblem of liberty and a guarantee of protection to the life and property of every American citizen in every part of the world. “Your organization is doing a won- derful work, and I hope it may con- tinue to grow and that its efforts may be_amply rewarded.” It fell to the lot of Miss Margaret McKee of Pennsylvania, chief page to the Congress, to receive Mr. Curtis and under circumstances surprising to the young woman, who had never seen the Vice President before. She met him unexpectedly at the stage entrance to the building and escorted him to the platform, while officers of the society waited for him at another entrance.. .

Glancing down the long vista of the years, we know that upon this platform there will be uttered words of portent, of wisdom and per-| haps of even tragic import—words that will- go thundering through the ages and Influence the destinies of countless numbers yet unborn. “To the mothers and fathers of the American Revolution—the complete em- bodiment of that great Spirit of "76— was Memorial Continental Hall dedi- cated. To the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution it will ever be a sacred shrine—a divine link with the indissol- uble past. “The Administration Building, the next to be erected, is devoted to the purposes of a high and mighty effort; to the fulfiliment of ideas conceived in a spirit of reverence and patriotism. In the consummation of practical plans the ideal is both the shadow and the substance, and again do the implements of dally service become the tools of the builders. “‘The Constitution of the United States is a written document, & record- ed fundamental law,’ said Daniel Web- ster. “It is the bond, the only bond, of the Union of these States; it is all that gives us a national character.’ “Right and Duty Guard It.” “Upon this third structure, which we are today dedicating, we bestow the name Constitution Hall; in honor of that immortal document which we, too, regard as a fundamental law. To the dissemination of its principles and to their preesrvation, fi well, do we, as a body of patriotic Women and proud descendants of the founders of this country, stand committed. | “By inheritance, by virtue of our privileges under the Constitution as American citizens, ours is the right and the duty to guard, to uphold and to defend it against all enemies. May we here and now consecrate ourselves to such service, not for today, but for end- less tomorrows, handing the silver cords, untarnished and unbroken, to those who follow on after us. If we succeed in that task, we can then, with supreme satisfaction, qualify. as real huilders. “Today we reverently dedicate Con- stitution Hall and commend it to the world for the world’s best offerings, to the end that to youth may come en- the worid, stimulation and strength, and to old age, rejuvenation and so- K the main entrance of Consti- tution Hall will be carved the mo- mentous words uttered by George Wash- ington at the Continental Congress in “‘Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can Tepalr. event is in the hands of God. “To no more noble sentiments can I u, Daughters of the Ameri- ution and citizens of the pear ago to raise $1,000,000 through.the sale of platform chairs, auditorium ‘ehntlghhwk un'g nl:fl.\‘;lh: e 'z.:émm. $1,075,000 have been Teceived, cost of $2,000,000 and mmty'glu nuui.“‘mmn:mx': o e ting capacity of 4,020 and will house :“mnry and museum 45 distinctive world, in the furtherance of your ideals.

Criticism of the national origins pro- vision in the new immigration bill is contained in the report of Mrs. W, W. Husband, chairman of the committee on Americanism rendered to the D. A, R. Congress today in which the wife of the Assistant Secretary of Labor vigorously defends the existing quota system, “If a much discussed provision of the quota law goes into effect on July 1 next, as now seems probable,” Mrs. Husband declared, *“the immigration from Colonial stocks will be quite mate- rially decreased, and that of the peo- ples of South and East Europe some- what increased. Not Vitally Important. “Fortunately the change will not be of such importance as seriously to affect the diminishing but still serious Americanization problem which grew out of & long period of unrestricted im- m tion,” she add {Come what events will rest in the hands of God.” Reports from State regencies were delivered to the morning session be- fore adjournment for the dedication exercises. Another dedication ecting many delegates was that held later in' the afternoon at Bethesda, Md., where the markers on the National Old Trails road. These markers are dedicated to the ploneer women of covered wagon days. Mrs. chairman of the Na- lls road committee, pre- may, the Daughters of the American Revolution will be found in the fromt rank of those who are spreading the gospel of true Americanism.” Under the quota law immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe has been reduced from 900,000 in 1914 to 42,000 in 1928, Mrs. Husband declared. “This, of course, means that under the quota plan the great bulk of the immi- grants now coming from Europe are of those Northwestern European peoples who have been a part of our popula- tion since early colonial times and who ::eu'i as a rule, quickly assimilated,” she Despite this restriction, Mrs. Husband contended the way is left open to the coming of unlimited numbers from Old World countries, and a largely in- creased immigration from Canada and Mexico has resulted. “The former, of course, does not present an Americani- zation problem of any great impor- tance,” she sald, “but the increased im- migration from Mexico has put a heavy and perplexing burden on chapters and other agencles in the Southwest, and from personal observation I am con- vinced that the situation in those States is serious and discouraging.” Forty State chairmen have reported on Americanization work accomplished in their jurisdiction, her report stated, showing that 1,439 chapters have en- g the year, com) 3 1,286 chapters in 1928. Quota Law Big Aid. “On the completion of three years’ service as your national chairman, I am more convinced than ever of the real value of this branch of D. A. R. endeavor,” Mrs. Husband said. “We can- not say that the soclety has done its full duty unless it has played its part in leading our immigrants into an un- derstanding of what America and Amer- iean institutions really stand for, be- cause this is the su ‘way of prevent- ing their bmminf‘the prey of sinister forces of lawlessness and dis- more important patriotic that of guiding nup:nnurs ‘and mothers of future ricans into the ways of pal ¢ , has considerably lessened quota law, m":‘\cu work” ' among g’mvfiomo when policy was in effect. e i ‘Thieves recently made & e ‘many of | mmlwt" NEWD.A.R EADER 1S WELL QUALIFIED Mrs. Hobart Has Had Years of Practical Experience as Executive.

After the| | death of her husband in 1913 she de-* | voted her attentions to her only son, | Lowell Fletcher Hobart, jr. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Hobart went | overseas with the 327th Fleld Artillery | and Mrs. Hobart turned all the en- ergles of a forceful personality to the execution and assistance of various war | | works. She served for some time as, | head of the Belgian relief of the Cin- | cinnati Chapter, and it was under her | | leadership that the first box of clothing | was sent to the relief of the needy| Belgians. Had it not been for the fact | that her son was serving abroad Mrs. Hobart also would have served over- seas, as she was invited by several| organizations to assist with war work in_France.
