The National tribune., 1910-04-21
FOR NATIONAL TREASURER.
Mrs. Abbie Lynch, of Pennsylvania, Has
Strong Endorsements.

The Department of Pennsylvania has
brought out a candidate for National
Treasurer of the Womans Relief Corps.
1t is much to the credit of this great
National organization of over 1900
patriotic women that in the 2S years OF
its existence it has had but five Ma
tional Treasurers. These were Liza
beth A. Turner, who served six years;
Armilla A. Cheney, who served six
years; Isabel T. Bagley, who served five
years. and Sarah E. Philips, who served
five years. The present efficient Ma
tionai Treasurer, Charlotte E. Wright,
of New Haven, Conn, has served her
five-year term. According to the un-
written law of the Woman's Relief
Corps, law which stands only by COM
mon consent, the time of service for
each National Treasurer was set finally
at five years, and this has been the
rule for the last Is years. If this law
had not been set the term of a Ma
tional Treasurer might run on inde!in-
itely, for in all these % years not one
single penny of the funds of the Ma
tional organization has ever gone astray
and all the Treasurers have been faith
full and much-lOved women. They have
been women of fine executive ability,
who understood their work thoroly and
who have served acceptably to every
member of the Order. This is true of
the incumbent. Mrs. Wright. Condi-
tioDs have arisen which have led a
great many of the friends of Mrs.
Wright to consider retaining her year
longer Pennsylvania, however, will
put up good fight for it's candidate,
Mrs. Abbie Lynch, a member of Col. ].
w. Patterson Corps. /, of Pittsburg,
Pa. Mrs. Lynch has served as National
Secretary, National Senior Vice Pres-
dent, National Inspector, and is now
Chairman of the Committee on Disci-
pline of the National body. She has
served in her own Corps seven years as
Treasurer, one year as President and
as Preident of her Department, and is
ment Secretary.
The circular, which is being sent out
by the Department of Pennsylvania,
says that it believes that the turn of
that Department has come to present a
candidate for National office. In pre-
senting the name of Mrs. Lynch the
