leading candidate for. the Office of presf-
dent OF the city federation, has been
endorsed by the Western Sorosis Oc-
cidental, Ramblers, Good Government
Atlantean. Vespuccian and West Side

ly strengthen the executive board and

= The personnel of the nominating
committee to be elected~at this meeting
Is a most important consideration The
committee will name all the other
committees in addition to its purely
formal duty of presenting the nomina-
lions of clubs and individual memb ers
for the next set OF tederatiou Qfticers.
Besides Mrs. Mcfarland. Miss Lucy
Kingman IS talked. Of for chairman of
this committed Mrs. w. W. Kitchell,
endorsed by the West Side Reading
club for the office of second vice presi-
dent, has also been suggested for secre-
1t is. believed that the approaching
election will prove the, excellence ana
advantage Of the new system OF noInl-
nations through a nominating commit
tee, provided for by the changes in the
federation constitution made last year.
There was much opposition to the nom
mating committee amendment, al
though not suficient to defeat it, on the
ground that it was less. democratic than
the old method of nominations from the
floor or by ballot, but the arguments OF
the constitutional amendment commit
tee Mrs. J. c. McClintOck, chairman,
have been supported by the experience
in the present campaign Not in a. NUM-
Der of years has SIS much interest in the
city federation election been manifest
ed or have the different candidates for
the different offices been given as n1uch
consideration in the INDIVIDUAL CLUBS as
in the past few weeks. Heretofore, Of
late years, there has been no general
discussion of the candidates and the day
of the annual election would find no can
didates for the offices, nObOdHwilltng1t to
accept them. nobody perfectly sure whom
they wanted to nominate, and finally
the jobs would be thrust upon set of
unwilling candidates. This year there
will be candidates for every place, can
didates who have shown their ability IN
their Individual clubs and yet who, for
the most part have not held Office in
the federation, who know what threat
ems them and are prepared to serve II
elected. This situation will be so great
an impro venent on the condition at the
last three or four annual elections that
1t ought to- be considered q complete
vindication- of the norpiGatin commit
tee amendment Of which such hard
things were said beforehand INN edtate-
ly after its adoption
