Considerable interest is manifested in
the coming election of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution. The election
will be held at the annual convention next
February. At present 1t seems that either
Mrs. William Jennings Bryan or Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt will be the choice OF
the convention. and the success Of either
depends upon the result of the national
election for President. II Mr.. Bryan is
elected to the office of Chief Executive
Mrs. Bryan will probably hold the gavel
at national gatherings of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. If the pres
emit Administration is reinstalled, in all
probability Mrs. Roosevelt will be the
presiding officer. One peculiar phase OF
the situation Is the fact that Mrs. Bryan
is not even a member Of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. But she is
eligible.
The Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion always tries to elect as their Presi-
dent General the first lady of the land,
provided she is eligible. Failing in this
the Vice Presidents wife is generally
chosen. Mrs. Mckinley is not eligible to
membership in the organization. Mrs
