in the press that Mrs. Fairbanks vas eligi-
BILE for reelection at tnat tin< without
constitutional amendmsnt. according to
some of the best constitutional lawyers of
our country, including Judge John Goode
and Justice Hagner of Washington.
After Mrs. Fairbanks election the
question of eligibility was again raised by
Miss Forsythe. Mrs. Weed and others
when nominations for recording secretary

member put it, Mrs. Morgan of Georgia
offered the following, which wasseconded
IT move we that it be 4he sens of this
congress that no person having served two
consecutive terms on the national board
be eligible for reelection on said board
until at least a year has elapsed.
Mrs M A. Ballinger then announced that,
for her part she did not favor either of the
candidates mentioned, and that she was
hoping and praying that a dark horse would
rcmp in and win the prize. Thus ended
the chapter on nominations for president
general SO far as the District is concerned.
The drift of sentiment yesterday would
seem to indicate a very even division OF
forces between Mrs. Sternberg and Mrs.
Mclean The name of Mrs Lippitt of
Rhode Island, supposed to be favored by
some of the District D. A. R., was not
mentioned
Miss Desha Renominated.
Miss Mary Desha was the sole nominee
for recording secretary general The nomi-
nations for registrar general were: Mrs.
Jameson of Mount Vernon Chapter, Alex
andria, Va, and Mrs. ]. Eakin Gadsby of
Mary Washington Chapter, this city. Mrs.
John Russell Young of the New York city
chapter but a resident of Washington, and
Miss Aline E. Solomons of the local Mary
Washington Chapter, were both nominated
for the office of librarian general.
The name of Mrs. Charlotte Emerson
Main, the retiring District regent, was the
sole one placed in nomination for the ma
tional office of vice-president general in
charge of the organization of chapters, as
was that of Miss Virginia Miller for vice
president general from the District of Co
lumbia. 1t is stated that there are in the
national d. A. r. only twenty vice-presi-
dents general, while there are forty-six
states represented, and that there are only
ten places as vice-presidents general to be
filed at the coming congress, so that the
election of these two ladies to the offices to
which they have been nominated is not at
all assured. Miss Virginia Miller, it is is
said, was nominated for a vice-presidency
general last year by the District D. A. R.,
but the congress failed to elect her
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey was elected
District regent and Mrs. Kate kearney,
