date" because she was selected by Mrs.
/ Donald C. Mclean, retiring head OF the
| organization, as her successor, and was
supported chiefly by the administra-
| ton followers.
No candidate was ever opposed with
as much determination and vigor as
Mrs. Scott. Notwithstanding their po-
! iitical opposition to Mrs Scott, every
| Daug hter In the organization 10 de-
voted to her because Of her earnest,
sincere and faithful work In the So
ciety. The night was made on her
solely on the ground that she was re-
ported to have declined to stand on a
non partisan platform.
| Mrs. Scott Is an elderly woman of
| grace, dignity. literary and musical
| accomplishments, and has q host of
| friends in Washington. She IL the
| mother OF Mrs. Charles g. BromwelI.
| wife of Colonel Bromwell, formerly
military aide to the President OF the
United states. True to her pledg
made during the campaign. Mre. Scott
will spend the most of her time in
| Washington conserving the interests OF
the society.

Mrs. Matthew T. Scott. spoken to her
own chapter, the Letitle Green Steven
| son, d. A. r.. when 1t was proposed
| by the members to present her name
as a candidate for the once. If ac-
| eept this nomination 1t must nrst be
| distinctly understood that am the
candidate not OF any section Of the
country, nor of any faction among the
Daughters, but of the whole organiza.
ton
These words voice the sentiment of
Mrs. Scott toward the organizati ton.
| She literally has given her heart to
| IT, and looks on Ii with that reveren-
! tial loyalty which would make her
an ideal head. The best efforts of her
| life have been given unstintedly for
| many years to the building up OF the
society. and the furthering of its no.
BILE objects. Continuously, for several
| years, holding most responsible ofieial
| positions every duty has been per-
formed with generous f-efracement.
For her to accept an once Is to
! perform the responsibilities Of that Of
| hee efticiently and generously. She
