GENERAL CLUB NOTES.

The usual acerbities which crop out
in Kansas clubdom just before an cleo
ton in the Kansas Federation of Wo-
mems clubs are being exchanged and
by another week every club woman in
the state will have taken sides on the
questions that are causing friction,
comment and criticism. The annual
meeting of the federation is to be held
in Kansas City beginning May and the
biennial election of officers will take
place. Mrs. w. D. Atkinson of Parsons
now recording secretary of the fedora
ton, and Mrs. D. S. Stephens, Kansas
City, Kansas, are candidates for the
office of president to succeed Mrs. May
Belleville Brown of Salina, the present
incumbent. The friends of Mrs Atkin-
son are saying that it is contrary to the
federation precedent for a woman of the
hostess city to be a candidate for the
presidency because the fact that the
election is held in her home town where
every vote may easily be gotten out is
an unfair advantage. They have also
charged that the Kansas City Kansas
women are trying to give Mrs. Atkinson
the worst of it and story was publish
ed in Topeka paper this week to the
effect that the Kansas City entertain
ment committee had refused to find
rooms for Mrs. Atkinson and her dele
cation on the Kansas side. In answer
to this charge the State Journal has
received the following letter from the
chairman of the press committee of the
Kansas City federation.
