There has been conspicuous. rnlI-for sew
| eral weeks In discussion of the color ques-
! ton. There is no doubt that very large
number of club women are utterly sick and
tired of it and would hail with unbounded
relief and delight any plan to sidetrack it.
AS this is quite impossible, they nave simply
| refused to talk about it any more until some
| thing is done. AS for those that are actively
| interested, if they have any brilliant, strokes
| left they are sa wing them for a time of action
| instead Of words. The suspense now cannot
| be long
The position ;of Minnesota in instructing its
delegates to vote for the best compromise is
| we'll known and the general agreement seems
! to be, is strict state rights plan is the
best compromise. The form of the Missouri
proposition along this line seems most pop
ular now, although 1t differs but slightly
from tina offered by Mrs. Lydia Phillips Will
| liams of Minnesota, who was the first to
! breach a compromise scheme.
The Woman's club Of Anaconday and all
| of the clubs of Butte have instructed their
I delegates to vote against the admission of
| coored clubs.
! Among the club women who stayed at home
there is much more discussion of the question
of a president, although this matter is very
much complicated with the disposition of the
color question. 1t is possible, however, that
Mrs. Dimies T. s. Dennison Of New York, tn e
| present first vice president, would be accept
able Tin any case. 1t is generally conceded
that the east ought to have both the next
president and the next Biennial If that sec.
| ton wants them. 1t is rumored, however,
that Mrs. Dennison cannot control her own
delegation and this will be used against her.
| There has been a suggestion made that no
name shall be presented for nomination that
| cannot secure the Endorsement of a.majOrity
| Of the delegates from the state. While this
/ is not practicable plan,si is significant =
: There is no doubt that Mrs. .Dennison before
the opening of the convention is the leading
candidate, with Mrs Sarah Plat Decker a
! strong second. Mrs. Robert j. Burdette is
| still much talked about in spite Of the weight
of precedence, against. selecting anyone from
the hostess state, and her statement that she
! Is not a candidate Mrs. Lydie Phillips Will
liams has also made a statement that she
will not allow her name used for the; presi-
:dency. 1t is probable that Minnesota will be
represented in the board Of the officers and
directors, either by the reelection Of Miss
1 Margaret J. Evans to her present Office Of
vice president or by the election of Mrs. VIII
| liams to some office. 5 u.
