Council Bluffs, May 3.--The women
this morning elected Mrs. Alice G. Bal
ley. of Des NIoines, president and Mrs,
Flora S. Barkley, of Boone vice presi
dent. There has been considerable skir-
mshing around by candidates for the
ether offices. These will be filled at the
session late this afternoon The weather
Is threatening and many are going to
their homes on the early evening trains
that would probably have remained till
tomorrow if the weather had remained d
4 fair.
| Mrs Bailey has been strong cand;-
date for the position all along but the
Des Moines women did not take kindly
| tosit as she is the president of the local
federation in that city and they did
feel that she could do Justice to the two
positions. She has said that should she
be elected to the position to which she
now asplres that She would resign the
local position. This seems 10 have set
tied the fight as her following all along
/ has been greater outside of Des Moines
4 than it was in the city itself. Her de-
! cision practically settled the fight for
4 the presidency and it only remained for
4 the formal Vote to be taken this after
/ noon.
The meeting yesterday forenoon was
taken up principally by the discussion
of various subjects of minor import
ance and 1t was not till the afternoon
/ session that anything like real work
aside from electioneering was donA
AT the afternpn session the subject
\ "lur Press Women was taken up and
/ brought out the real best thoughts OF
those who Mere present The SESSION
! was presided over by Mrs. Martha p.
| johnson, Of the Ottumwa Democrat.

i The really entertaining paper of the
Whole afternoon was retained for the
last and was the paper of Miss Bertha
ID knobe, of the Times Herald of Chi
cago. Her paper was masterpiece. Ii
showed that she had given here sub
| ject thought, that she was more than
the ordinary newspaper woman, that
the American people as a whole did net
| appreciate as a whole and We're ignor-
ant III great meafure as TO the re-
quirements of the press woman" Her
