Another Spat Over the Morton
License.
Officers Elected-Miss Willard
Again President.
Miss wiIlard,s Generosity.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1l.-Miss Willard was
unanimously reelected president of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
convention this morning. On an
informal ballot out of 463 delegates
entitled to vote 43O ballots bore Mss Will
lard's name, nine were cast for Mrs.
Foster. some for Mrs. Mary Hunt and
some were blanks. A delegate then
moved that the secretary cast the ballot of
the convention for Miss Willard, and this
was done.
There was another brief spat over the
Morton question at the afternoon session
of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. One OF the delegates read a tele-
gram from some one East reasserting the
statement that a license Tor a bar room
was taken out by Morton's manager.
Mrs. Wallace shut off further discussion
by introducing this resolution:
"lnasmuch as Vice President Morton
occupies the second position in authority
in an administration that iavors the policy
of high license, | move that the whole
matter be dismissed from the considera
ton of the convention as he could not
have done otherwise without rebuking the
policy of the party"
This was adopted and Senator Blair of
New Hampshire delivered an address.
The election OF officers was then taken
taken up. Mrs. Caroline b. Buell. was
reelected corresponding secretary, Mrs.
NJ. A. WOODBRIDGE recording secretary,
and Miss Esther Hugh treasurer. Mrs.
X. X. johnson. president of the Cali
%fornia. Union. led the prayer meeting. at
the conclusion of which Miss Willard
said from the sale of her book, "GlImpses
Of Fifty Years" there remained due her
81, 900 which she would donate to the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
Great applause followed and continued
until Miss Hugh called for order and
moved that the convention would not ac-
cept none which Miss Willard had
earned by her own hard work. The mo-
ton was seconded but Miss Willard re-
fused to put it to the house. Miss Will
lard's gift is one of the largest aver
rendered the society.

and live in a small town thirty or
forty miles from Atlanta town with
a few rich men in it. You will find
that your expenditure of SO, 900 a year
there will make you a nabob and your
wife will be regarded as the Lady
