D. A. r. FIGHT Is
ON AT WASHINGTON
Campaign Opens With Scott and
Story Forces About Even-LiVely
Battle Is Expected.

Washington is swarm
ing with Daughters of the American
Revolution. And they are buster than
the proverbial bees. The twenty
fourth annual congress opened here
with daughters from nearly every
section of the Union in attend
ance. Every hotel in the city is
practically owned by the fair visitors
and hundreds of private homes have
been Hospitality thrown open for the
invaders.
The delegates were formally re-
celved by the president and Mrs.
Taft at the White House The dele
gates, with other members of the or
ganization and of the Sons of the
American Revolution, were given a
Scott
When the congress was called to
to order in Continental Memorial
hall by Mrs. Mathew T. Scott
of Illinois, the president-general,
there began what is expected to be
one Of the stormiest meetings in the
history of the order. Questions of
politics" have resulted in the forma-
ton of factions, each with it's own
ideas, radically different from those of
its opponents. Naturally, interest CEN
tiers chiefly in the election of officers
with Mrs. Scott, the presiding officer,
in the strategic point of the conflict
Mrs. William Cummings Story of New
York, defeated candidate for presi-
dent-general at the last congress, will
carry the fight" to Mrs. Scott and
her adherents. She has raised the
cry of "oligarchy," and declares that
Mrs. Scott is and has been attempt
ing, thro Ugh the medium of the gov
erning board, to rule the society
against it's constitution" AS part of
the campaign of Mrs. Story's friends
in her behalf, 100000 letters have been
sent to the members in the various
states petitioning their support in the
movement to "dethrone the ruler and
her clique"
From the present outlook the forces
are nearly evenly matched Each
candidate claims a majority of the
states. Mrs Scott has been Endorsed
by her state delegation, while Mrs.
Story has not the solid support of her
delegation because of the very strong
opposition of Mrs. Donald Mclean,
former president-general, who has
wonderfully strong influence in her
own state She is heart and soul for
Mrs. SCOTS reelection.
Mrs. Mclean is not saying much,
afraid of her silence. 1t would not
be a surprise to many if a dark horse
would gallop in at the finish in the
person of Mrs. Mclean herself.

Madison.-The taxpayers of the
state are expanding annually $lf|,-

yersity professors and instructors are
teaching only from seven TO nine
hours each week. The average cost
for each university student to the
state is 1901, and the average cost

The average salary of the instruction.
al force in the university is ST.

normal school instructors is $l,2f5
per annum.
These were some of the state
ments made by Theodore Kronshaget
Jr.. member Of the board of normal
school regents, before the joint COM
mittee on finance and the senate
committee on education at hearing
on the bill introduced by Senator
Thomas, providing for an appropria-
ton of 100000 to extend over
five years for the erecting of the new
building and mill tax of one-siXth
of a mill for maintenance of nor
mails. Mr.. Kronshage said he was
not criticizing the university, but
simply attempting to show the diff
ference between the treatment ac-
corded the university and the normal
schools.
He said he felt that the state uni.
versity had been fairly dealt with
even on the basis of what it had re-
ceived in the past, while the normal
schools, which cared for more high
school graduates than the university
had been neglected.
Mr.. Kronshage said that if the pre-
dictions of President Van Hise that
in ten years the university would have
to care for 10000 students proved
true that institution would cost the
state over 100000 annually.
