There was more activity than common
around Democratic State headquarters
yesterday. The dream-like sleep that had
characterized the rooms of the organiza-
ton in the Lombard building was inter-
rupted by the appearance OF State Chair

perity and smiling face is always sufficient
to give the Democratic headquarters an ap-
pearance OF quasi activity. The day was
marked by another fact of Importance.

port.

votes, although Doudican was expected to
be the choice of the class. Louise Milligan
was elected vice president and Edith Bran
