The National tribune., 1909-07-01

Berry's friends have put out circular.
which certainly should have much
weight with the National Convention,
which knows her pretty well, anyhow.
These friends say:
Again, and this time with the defin-
lite purpose to elect, if possible, Iowa
presents Mrs. Jennie !. Berry as a can
didate for National President of our
Order.
Mrs. Ferry is a soldiers daughter
of marked ability, whose best years
have been given to the interests of the
Union veteran She has had many
years of steady training in Corps, De-
partment and National work. At Ma
tionaI Convention in Toledo, o., she
was nominated for National President,
and of her own accord withdrew in
recognition of the prior claim of our
present beloved National President.
This year at Salt Lake City Mrs. Jennie
/. Berry will be nominated for National
President and will not withdraw.
'Iowa's Grand Army of the Republic
membership 10.729) and Woman's Re-
lief Corps membership 10,6SS) have
unanimously Endorsed her. and ask your
assistance in electin2 her. Will you
give Iowa your support this year,"
The circular is signed by the Depart
ment President. Mrs. Marie Basham,
all the Department officers, Past Ma
tional President Mary Sears McHenry.

Presidents. Iowa is evidently out to
win.

the G. A. Il.
Editor National! Tribune: 1t is with
pleasure ] write of Mrs. Margaret Stew
ems, of Newark, n. j.. who is promi
nent candidate for National President
at Salt Lake City in August. She is
now serving our organization as Ma
tional Inspector, having received that
appointment thru the loyalty of our
National President, Mrs. Lane, which
gives her a wide acquaintance with all
the Departments.
Mrs Stevens has been prominently
connected with our organization since
its inception, and has been a worker
since 1886, filling several offices with
credit in New Jersey and on the Ma
tional Staff. She was National Senior
Vice in 1906, being elected at Denver.
When our convention was held in Sara
| toga Springs she was appointed Chair
! man to attend to all the preliminary
arrangements. and won much praise for
her executive ability. She Is a very un-
assuming little lady. but very loyal to
our organization, and is fully qualified
| by education and experience to carry
on the vast work of our Order. Mrs.
Lane, who is our honored representative
/ now, Will nave paved the way Tor a
successful year for whoever may sue
ceed her. and Mrs. Margaret Stevens
will benefit by her long and close ac-
quaintanceship with Mrs. Longfield-
Lane Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Sarah
EhrmanD, the newly elected Depart
ment President of New York, were
members of the happy party who ac-
companied Mrs. Lane in her official Wis
its to New York and New Jersey, and
Mrs. Stevens made many friends. She
is the widow of a soldier, and has been
most loyal to her friends, and given
way in the line for promotion on sew
eral occasions to advance the interests
of our Order. Now she is a full-hedged
candidate. and her many friends are
hoping for her ultimate success, count
| ing on the record she has made for
herself in work accomplished in the
past. She has attended all the Ma
| tionai Encampments and been an ac-
/ tive worker in her own State. New
Jersey furnished US with our first Ma
tional President, Mrs. Laura McNeir, of
Camden, and she was one of the very
best the Order has ever had, and now
New Jersey will present its candidate to
succeed Mrs. Lane in the person OF Mrs.
Margaret Stevens, and New Jersey de-
serves the recognition.-Mrs. Nellie

An unusual spectacle vas seen in Syra-
cuse, N. y. on Memorial Day, when FIVE
veteran brothers sat together on the plat
form at the laying Of the corner stone of
five were Frank, James p. Albert, VIII
liam W. and David NJ. Sinclair. These
were the sons of James and Margaret
Sinclair. Frank eventually became Can

became Lieutenant. James entered the
service in the 18th Mich Albert enlisted

David was the youngest. and entered last,
being assigned to the 6lst n. Y. Frank,
James and Albert were wounded, the last
receiving fsce & shot while escaping after cap

believe that their escape and long life are
more or less due to tie earnest prayers Of
their good Methodist mother.
