A GAIN IN MEMBERSHIP.
ING SHOWN IN THE ELECTION
OF OFFICERS WHICH TAKES
PLACE TODAY.

Lafayette, Ind, Oct. 12.-Every
county in the state in which there is
W. c. T. U. organization is represent
ed at the state convention now being
held in this city. Every train and in
terurban car Friday brought in sddi
tional delegates until there are fully
300 accredited representatives of the
local organizations in the city, in ad-
ditiOn to many visitors who do not rep
resent any organization.
Mayor George R. Dun gan last night
delivered the address of welcome at
the Trinity church, to which response
was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley
of Liberty, the state lecturer. Follow
ing that the night was spent in a jul
bilee by the presidents of the counties
more in membership, and a sort of
general renewing of old acquaintance
and the forming of new ones.
The convention opened Friday at 8
o'clock with devotional services. Mrs.
Elizabeth Haughton of Richmond,
state evangelist, Mrs. Culla ]. Vayhin-
ger, the president of the state organ
ization and the other state officers
were all present.
Convention Approves Reports.
Miss Woodland of Fountain City, the
corresponding secretary, read her re-
progress has been made in all branch
es of the organization work since the
last annual meeting, which was held
at Portland.
The figures submitted by Treasurer
Clara Sears of Anderson showed the
financial condition Of the organization
to be good and her report was approx
ed by the convention. Mrs. Ida Mix,
the secretary of the Royal Temper
ance League, reported that there had
been a gain in membership in her de-
partment until now there are nearly
/ 700 in the state. Friday afternoon
President Vayhinger delivered her an
nual address, which was along the
lines of the others, showing a heavy
increase and widening sphere of op-
Grafton on the part of the organiza-
ton
Today will be one Of the busiest OF
the entire convention. Many women
who have gained considerable distinc-
ton in temperance work will take
part in the exercises and it is probable
that one or two of the national Off
GERS of the w. c. T. q. will be present.
The principal feature of today's work,
however, will be the election of officers
and it is expected that much rivalry
will be shown before the final selec-
tons are made. Many women are
mentioned for leading places, but
none Of them so far has declared her
self to be a candidate.
