AMBITION OF OGDEN WOMEN
EXPECT TO CAPTURE PREsI
DENCY OF FEDERATION.
But the Salt Lake Club Women Have
a Candidate and a Warm Contest
Is Predicted.

When the annual meeting of the
ours next October, it is probable that
there will be a lively skirmish between
Salt Lake and Ogden club women for
the presidency. This was made quite
evident at the annual session in Ogden
last tall, but as the election of officers
was not due until the next meeting,
any discussion of the matter that was
mad was entirely on the quiet.
The matter is now being opened up
again, and the Ogden women are max
ing an energetic effort to land the prize.
Mrs. Randall of the Child Culture
club in Ogden has written the CORE
spending secretary of the Utah WOm-
ans Press club, asking that that Or
ganlzat1on Cooperate with the club
women of Ogden in the effort to secure
the best woman for the position. Mrs.
Golfers name is suggested, and the
communication assumes that the plum
is to go to the junction city.
The club women of Ogden state that
when Mrs. Jennings was reelected two
years ago an understanding was mad
between the members of the nominal
ing committee, that if Salt Lake re-
ceived the honor for another term, it
should certainly go to Ogden in 1899.
On the other hand, when the fight
over the state craftsmanship was settled
last summer in the way it was, Mrs.
Kinney. who relinQuished the position.
was understood to be a candidate for
the presidency at the next election.
This matter was discussed very freely
both in Denver, where the trouble re-
solved itself into a church discussion,
and after the delegates to the biennial
returned to Salt Lake, and Mrs. Farms
worth'S appointment to the chairman
ship was confirmed.
Press Club Meeting.
Last nights meeting of the Woman's
Press club was a social occasion, but
Mrs. Wells urged that one small matter
of business be disposed of. This was
a communication from Mrs. A. V. Tay-
Tor of the educational committee of the
Federation, in which she asked the
Press club to take the initiative in do
ing some very necessary work in the
schools. Mrs. Taylor's suggestions were
that the club call a. meeting of the vilr-
ious club women of the city, and that
some plan of work along the lines suS-
gested by the committee in recent
circular be adopted. Mrs. Alder, who
presented the communication, said that
it would be necessary to do something
at the annual meeting in October.
The matter was discussed, and
Thursday, May II, determined upon.
All club women of the city are invited
to meet with the Press club at O'Clock
on this day in the Woman's Exponent
Office in the Templeton building.
A paper by Mrs. May Freeze on
Scenery In Southern Utah and Indian
Customs was very much enjoyed. Mrs.
Freeze gave some of her actual exper-
fences in this part of the country.
DR.. Roumania B. Pratt read paper
written by Mrs. l.. r. Rhodes on The
Cliff Dwellers." This brief history of
the race was given by Mrs. Rhodes on
d former occasion.
Sentiments from Mrs. Denman's po-
ems were given bv Mrs. Lucy Clark.
Mrs. Ella w. Hyde occupied the chair,
and Miss Aimee c. Schiner acted as
secretary. While the meeting was the
usual monthly occasion, very little
business was transacted. almost the en-
tire time being given over to sociability.
Mrs. Wells office in the Tempieton
building was arranged most attrac-
lively for the meeting, and refresh
ments were served.
About twenty-five members and
few friends of the club were present.
