Threatening weather and squalls were the official
forecast the business meeting Of the Profession
al Woman's League, held yesterday. and never was
prediction more thoroughly verified The bulletin
board had been used for campaign purposes by
having posted thereon an unofficial ticket for the
coming election. II was headed by Mrs. Palmer,
and Mrs Fernandez. who is for Miss Amelia Bng
ham first last and all the time. by virtue Of her
position chairman Of the executive committee
sternIv ordered its removal Mrs Edwin Brandt.
Miss Annie Hagan and Miss Amelia Bingham had
signed the appeal for the ticket. and Mrs
Fernandez Mrs. Brandt to remove il. She
refused. Miss HaEan then directed to remove
the obnoxious document and she refused. Not only
that but when Mrs Fernandez. acting under
derS from the executive committee. herself took II
dOWs Miss Hagau ordered her her prop
crty. and said It should stay the board until II
proved that II had no right there. Thereupon
Miss IIaran was notified that unless she with
drew her ultimatum she must cease TO regard her
self and TO be regarded "a member good
standing"
These exciting occurrences of the few DAYS pre-
yious were brought before the league yesterday by
Miss HaFan's demanding 70 know why her stand
Ing was impeached in the letter received by her.
Mrs Palmer upheld Miss Hagan. and a lively
elirmish took place between the opposing forces
Miss Hagan finally signay defeated by the
leagues voting that nothing should be put the
bulletin board without consent OF the executive
committee.
Another topic that caused some excited discussion
was the Introduction Of a motion that the league
should contribute 500 for the benefit for
Nine. Jauauschek This was bitterly opposed by
many being entirely too much, hut was carried
in the end ana the first vce-president will occupy
the
great deal of private discussion Of the three
unofficial tickets now followed the meeting
These are headed respectively by Mrs. Palmer. Mrs
Arden and Miss Bingham. Many who have al
WAYS supported Mrs. Palmer decline TO do any
longer on the ground that eight years constitute
sufficiently long period for any officer TO

also firm Mrs. Palmer has right to break
I he pledge she made the league when last elected
She said then, it recalled by many: ladies
from my heart ! thank YOU, and give you my
word that ! Will never again under any circum-
stances accept a nomination for the presidency
The popular faVorite seems to be Mrs. Arden
and her friends have little doubt OF her election.
