THE CHOICE OF THE D. A. R.

admitted at 2:20 o'clock this morning
that Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks had been
elected the President General of the
Daughters Of tie American Revolution
The ballots we're counted in the red rar-
Icrs of the Ebbitt House. and from 10
o'clock last night until the hour given
above. thirty women counted the votes
which had been cast during the afternoon
at the Grand Opera House. After the
count had been completed several of the
women came from the room, and. although
they sternly refused to say which Of the
three candidates had been elected, they,
nevertheless. admitted that one of the
candidates had been chosen. and by a
comfortable majority.
Newspaper men waited in the lobby of
the hotel all night to learn if possible
which Of the candidates had been elected.
By an agreement made early in the even
ing with one of the women, Times re-
porter arranged that in case Mrs Fair
banks had received sufficient number of
votes to assure her election to the exalted
position of president general she was to
Indicate the choice by placing her right
hand to her face. This the woman did
shortly after the official count had been
made.
While the tired tellers were still bent
over their task. telegram was received
from Chicago announcing that Mrs Nc
Lean had been elected by a large ma
jority The telegram was taken to the
door of the red parlor and handed to a
Mclean supporter. The moment the
woman understood the contents of the
message she Indignantly denied that such
had been the result of the count and hur-
riedIy re-entered the paTlor.

After twelve hours tense and nervous
controversy, a score of demonstrations in
favor of their leaders and an eXhausting
and overwrought rehearsal of their candi-
dates good qualities. the Daughters of
the American Revolution yesterday cast
ballots for the president general of their
order. Discussion over the preliminary ar
TaBscmcnts continued through four hours,
motions. amendments, substitutes. and ex-
llanatiCns following one another in in
extricable confusion. The nominating
speeches and seconds. though limited to
three minutes each. consumed two hours.
1t was accordingly after O'Clock in the
evening when the first vote was cast. the
halloting continued until after 10. An
Eouncement of the result will be made by
the tellers at this mornings session.
The greatest uncertainty prevails as to
the outcome. Tho demonstrations on be-
half of the leading candidates-Mrs.
Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, and
Mrs. Donald Mclean. Of New York-were
so nearly equal as TO indicate an approx
mately tie vote. Mrs. Washington E.
Roebling, OF New Jersey, doubtless OBJ

gates from her State. twenty eight in
number. The whole number of votes cast
was about 6G0-a preliminary Poll iadicat
ing the presence of 500 delegates In or
der to conclude an election one candidate
must receive, therefore, more than z9l
votes. II the remainder OF the enrolment,

Quoted, be evenly divided between Mrs.
Col Ia, rEa nlrs
can receive more than 2S2 votes, or nine
short of a majority. AS several candida .es
announced their intention of casting bal
lots for Mrs. Manning. such a deadlock
seems practically inevitable.
In that event IL IS apparently unavoid-
able that another ballot VIII be taken.
The supporters of either Mrs Mclean or
Mrs. Fairbanks can be relied upon to op-
pose with all their strength any PROPOSE
ton that unanimous vote be cast for
the candidate receiving the highest num-
Der OF votes, and such a proceeding is the
only alternative except second ballot
When this was suggested at last nights
session the delegates shook their heads
sadly at the thought, but indicated no dis
position TO prevent it by compromise.
Both sides regard this election as more
than the choice Of presiding officer. The
followers of Mrs. Mclean look upon it as
a struggle for the individual freedom Of
the ballot to which each delegate is en-
titled. They charged Mrs. Manning, Mrs
Fairbanks. Mrs. Burrows, Mrs. Yer
planck, and all others allied with the pres
ent administration with an endeavor to
continue in power an office holding
class" They averred with all the earnest
ness possible that Mrs Mclean is the
one strong leader willing to combat that
machine" And they profess to look on
the possibility OF Mrs. Fairbanks success
with apprehension for the usefulness OF
the order.
