woMAN's KANSAS DAY CLUB.

| What's the matter with Mrs w. Y.
Morgan of Hutchinson for president
of the Woman's Kansas Day club?
| Somebody suggested her name the
other day and now good many men,
bers of the club are talking favorably
of her FOR the place. The constitu-
ton provides that the officers of the
club shall be elected for one term only
so an entire new set must be chosen
at the business meeting to be held
"Wednesday. Mrs. Morgan is young,
enthusiastic, energetic, good worker,
/ good mixer; in fact, about as good
a politician as her gifted husband,

News, author of the Journey of a Jay
hawker,' representative from Reno
county, and oft here of late, "men-
toned" for the office of governor Of
Kansas to succeed Governor Hoch.
Mrs. Morgan takes prominent part
in Seventh District club affairs and has
been an officer of the Seventh District
federation. She has executive ability.
She is good looking, well gowned. tact
full, agreea ble-has magnetism plus
indeed she would be a credit to the
Womans Kansas Day club or any other
organization that might choose to
honor her with office.
There is a pretty well-defined senti-
ment among the members of the club
that the office of president, this year.
should go out of Topeka and the First
district. Mrs. J. D. Mcfarland has
given her organization signal service in
organizing it, and as its first president.
and if the constitution did not other
wise provide, there certainly would be
many who would wish to have her sue
coed herself in the office. AS it is,
however, that is out of the question, so
her successor must be looked for, and
although it is really a very short time
in which to develop a boom for any
body the members of the club should
be turning over in their minds posi-
BILE candidates for all the offices, which
includes president. vice-president,
vice president from each of the con-
gressional districts, secretary, treas
urer and auditor.
The name of Mrs. Webb Wilder of
Hiawatha has been mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency. But Mrs.
Wilder positively refuses to be a can
didate. She is now vice-president from
the FIRST district and it has been sug-
gested that she be elected first vice
president. Mrs. Cora G. Lewis of Kins-
ley, Mrs. A. H. Horton of Topeka, Mrs.
c. w. Smith of Stockton, Mrs. Sadie p.
Gresham of Cottonwood Falls and
Mrs. James Humphrey of Junction City
are among those who have been men,
toned for the offices. At least one
officer should be a resident of Topeka
as the meetings are always held here
and there should be one energetic, in
terested Topeka woman to act as chair.

mittee. The district vice presidents
should be chosen with especial refer
ence to their fitness, as they can do
much to promote the clubs interests,
and add to its membership. Mrs. Nc

phrey, but others have never so much
as written letter or communicated
with her in any way and have prob
ably forgotten that they were elected.
Perhaps 1t was not their fault they
were elected. but the members this
year should see to it that no offices are
thrust upon unwilling or uninterested
victims. There is surely one woman in
each district who is sufficiently inter-
ested IN a patriotic woman's organiza-
ton to celebrate the states birthday
who would accept an office in the club
and work for it in her district.
