20 oppose tLiS motion. Mr.. Libby ex-
planned that the Constitution siipul sted
that the state nesting shoul be held

Hon. ! enry Lord Of pargor thought
that the organization lad been formed
not only for this year alone but for many
years TO come and he would advise that
vote be taken ON this question. He was
pleased that the hrst geners nesting
was to be held In Portland.
II think that tine annual meeting
shouli be held In Portland" was re-
mark at this point which created ap-
plause. 1t was made by Col Osgcod
Of Lew iston.
MRS. Eta II. OSgood Of this oity fe-
cured the eye of Governor Powers and
was recognized. 81 riss on behalf OF the
women" she said, ITO return thanks
to ths COMMITTEES for giving US rsprs-s
ssntation on the executive committee
But we would like &, have representa-
tlon on the list Of vice-presldent and
therefore make the molten that the vote
upon the adoption OF the constitution
be reoonsidered.
sWe have placed three ladies on the
executive committee said Chairman
Libby, ;'in the hops OF the rseos snition of
| assistance whisn We should receive from
them. II We should increase the list Of
| Vice presidents In order that the ladies
might have representation, the list would
be top heavy. When the time comes for
electing oe-prssidents zach county oan
name lady instead of man II 1t 50
sees TIT"
al should be sorry to see any lady dis
placing a man on this list 6f Woe -2re'i
dents," stated Mrs. Osgood. This brought
| fol tn = round OF laughter.
Chairman Libby suggested way out
of the difficulty into which the meeting
Was fast progressing BY stating that ac-
tion on this matter might be left over TO
the nesting which was to be hell Au-
gust 7th.
81 withdraw my motion to reconsid-
,r," said Mrs. osgOod. "and ask that the
constitution he amended so that the l,st
Of vice presidents shall Le made mp OF
two instead Of one from each county,"
"If We are going to increase the mum
her Of Woe presidents, again remarked
| Ch,irnan Libby, 1--WE are going to get
8 very unwiel w body. The ladies' can
make themselves felt In their own or
ganizAtions."
81 don't think that the list Of Woe
presidents would be mads top-heAvy by
having two members instead OF one
from each county,. said MIR. Lord Of
