CONGRESS TO-DAY
Both Factions Ready for
Election Battle.
ADDITIONAL VOTES PROMISED
Iowa, Michigan, and Mississippf
Delegations Solid for Mrs. Scott,
President General of Society,
While Her Opponent, Mrs. Story,
Has Formidable Support.

A noticeable lack of excitement yes
terday in the ranks of the Daughters Of
the American Devolution whose twen-
tieth congress convenes this morning at
1870 o'clock in Continental Memorial
Hall, when President Taft will be pres
ent, was only the lull before the storm
expected during the week over the cleo
ton of president general. of which Mrs.
Matthew T. Scott and Mrs. William Cum
ming Story are the candidates.
The knowing ones say Mrs. Scotts ad-
herents are obtaining promises of votes
from dozens who last year balloted for
the opposition, and who have been
brought around into believing she should
serve the courtesy term.
Solid for Mrs. Scott.
Mrs. D. W. Bushnell, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, former State regent and vice pres
ident general, said yesterday that Iowa
has a delegation of twenty-four active
women who would vote for Mrs. Scott.
She received but fourteen of their bal
lots last year." said Mrs. Bushnell, but
ii is believed Mrs. Scott deserves a sec
ond term much her predecessors,
and for this reason the Iowa delegation
has suffered a change of mind
Mrs. J. H. Campbell, OF Grand Rapids,
Mich. promises the Scott faction the
solid vote from that State, although last
election only twenty-five were cast for
her The change, it was said, was due
TO the fact that objection was made TO
the methods used to prevent Mrs. Scott
serving a second term by her opponents.
Mrs Charles NJ. Williamson, State re-
gent of Mississippi. said Mrs. Scott would
receive the entire eleven votes of that
State, whereas last year she received but
five.
Blame Campaign Methods.
Each Of these women are firm in the
belief that the voters have changed their
positions solely on account of the cam
raign methods alleged to have been used
by the conservatives, led by Mrs. Story.
To counteract these promises of stanCh
supporters, Mrs. StOry's followers allege
they have definite promises of enough
votes TO elect her by a safe majority,
and have every confidence of her win
ming the president generalShip.
Until the sessions are n full swing no
definite forecast can possibly be made,
as both sides claim the victory and each
is ready to show proof OF their claims.
