| This, the second day of the eighteenth
occupied principally with the roll call of
chapters and recording the number of
votes that the Daughters can deposit on
Thursday. 1t has been a dull day, and
the Daughters have chafed under the re-
straint. The 1.4U1 delegates have had to
sit for nearly two hours while they heard
the names of all the chapters called
slowly. Mrs. Mclean was compelled to
use the gavel many times and with much
force to keep the Daughters from talking
so loud that nothing else could be heard.
At one time she cast CONSERVATION in the
camp of pretty pages by telling them to
stand still in their places. to carry no
notes during the roll call, and to keep the
doors to the auditorium tightly shut.
Admonishes the Takers.
At another time Mrs. Mclean had to
request the takers to retire from the
room.
Story when New York's 172 delegates
arose at the call of the name of their
state. Instead of the crashing blare
| of voices. as is the custom at presi
Dental nominations when mere men run
them, the delegates clapped their hands
until they tingled when they saw Mrs.
Story, state regent, at their head.
For fully sixty seconds they gave this
| kid-glove cheer. Then when the reader
called Mrs. Story's name there was
| longer and louder burst of applause
from all over the house. indicating that
| Mrs. Story's hackers are still loyal to
| her.
There was no opportunity for Mrs.
| Scotts adherents to cheer her. as she is
not state regent, and her name was
| not called.
The only matter of business transact
| ed in addition to the roll call was the
reading of several reports.
Seated by States.
The delegations are seated by states
now and little banners tell the visitors
where their places are. All the early part
of this morning was devoted to finding
where the states belonged. There was
| lot of noise 1,4O0 women, all talking
and the proceedings were delayed a long
| time. The busy ladies who had the oner-
Gus duty of assigning the delegations, had
their hands full. Everybody wanted to
be up front, and there were lots of pro-
tests because everybody could not. One
| delegation with fourteen members, was
were other miXups which made trouble,
all being finally Strengthened out.
| There were less visitors today. as the
| preliminarieS over and affairs are
shaping themselves rapidly.
