The Topeka delegates who returned
last night or this morning from Man /
haitian where they attended the an
nual meeting of the state federation or
clubs are enthusiastic over the session
which closed yesterday. 1T was one
of the finest meetings" said one wo-
man. that the federation has had in
years. The atmosphere was perfect,
there was no wrangIhg' tne pro-
gramme couldn't have been improved
upon and the Manhattan people were
delightful"
"I never saw a prettier little town."
said another woman. 1t is fa1rly
a-bloom with roses just now and real
izing how much we admired them the
people were ready to strip their gar
dens so that we might be surrounded
by flowers every minute"
This is the off year in the federation,
that is, there was no election of Off ]
GERS and the most important business
transacted was the revision OF the con- |
stitution and bylaws. There was some |
discussion about this and some differ |
@s,,tD tr, 6a rNray n
the methods adopted in making the |
changes. The old constitution provid- |
ed that all amendments must receive !
a majority vote at two successive an
nual meetings. One of the proposed |
amendments provided that the consti- |
tuition might be amended at any an /
nual convention of the federation by |
a two-thrds vote if the amendment |
had been previously submitted to the |
board of management and appended to |
the call of the annual convention.
The constitutional sticklers insisted |
that the constitution could only be |
properly amended in accordance with
the provisions of the original amend /
ment clause but the revisionists said /
the voice of the convention was bigger
than the constitution. that they wanted |
the constitution amended and amend |
ed right away and tht they would |
first vote on andy carry the amend
ment regarding amendment and then /
go to work and revise the whole con-
stitution. There was something to be |
said on both sides and you can depend |
upon it that it was all said. But the
end of the matter was that the revis- |
ionists had their way and the conven-
tion up-and-amended to their hearts |
content.
The amendments included a number |
of unimportant changes and the fol- |
lowing which make the constitution
more up-to-date and satisfactory IN
strument:
Individual members of the fedora
tion now form a club-at-large whose /
officers are the officers of the fedora
