New York, 0c. 5,--Candidates for
the office Of president general of the
Daughters of the American ReYolu-
ton have oNched a caapaign Which
promises to be the most fiercely
waged contest in the history of the
big national organization of women
Several thousand members of the
patriotic society will be deluged with
campaign literature from the rival
parties. Following the Endorsement
at the state y. A. K. conference at
Cooperstown, n. Y, Of Mrs. William
Cummings Story as candidate for
president general the opposing fac
tions began at once sharpening their
campaign weapons to defeat Mrs.
Matthew Scott, present head Of the
society. The d. A. r. faction which
Mrs. Donald Mclean has successfully
headed for some time dubbed the
rival faction to which Mrs. Story, the
defeated candidate at the last election
belongs, as the insurgents. The Story
faction yehemently resented this title
and officially declared themselves as
the conservative wing of the organi-
zation. Mrs. Donald Mclean, former
president general, who as Mrs. Seott's
campaign manager helped elect her
head of the Daughters, announcel
Mrs, Scott's candidacy for reelection
some time ago. Mrs. Scott will run
