Registrar general, present incumbent,
Miss Grace NJ. Pierce, District of Column
bia.
Treasurer general, Mrs. Charles A.
Thomas. of New Jersey.
Librarian general. Miss Aline Solo
mons, District of Columbia.
1t will be noticed that the conserva-
tives have accorded the much talked of
Courtesy second term" to the two
national officers Miss Pierce and Mrs.
Tulloch. and would have nominated Mrs.
Willis and Miss Wilcox had the nomina-
tions not been declined beforehand.
Miss Pierce and Mrs. Tulloch were not
named on the administration ticket, al
though a courtesy term is one of the
strongest slogans of the Scott party. and
the one by which they chiefly hope to re-
elect Mrs. Scott.
They See Victory.
If numbers are criterion of the Story
votes the conservatives say, the hum
dreds of smiling. admiring Daughters
who grasped her hand at the reception
last night in her honor by the State re-
gent and other New York Daughters
spells victory for the popular New York
candidate. The reception was one of the
brilliant events of the congress, and the
red drawing-room Of the New Willard
was packed to the doors. Mrs. Scott,
president general, had received an invi-
tation. but she declined to attend be-
cause of a previous engagement. For
three hours Mrs. Story greeted the
Daughters, who extended in a line far
beyond the outer doors of the room.
Mrs. Donald Mclean, former president
general, made speech in which she said
the invitation to the reception purposely
left an ambiguous line. which made Il
appear "as if every Daughter In New
York State" was to be considered in the
invitation to honor Mrs. Story. Mrs.
Joseph S. Wood. State regent of New
York, promptly answered Mrs. Mclean.
in which she said members of the D. A.
R. in New York" did not mean every
Daughter in that State.
Long before the hour of the reception
the corridor outside was lined with hand
somely gowned Daughters, who were
waiting to pay tribute to their candi-
date. Mrs. Story wore an exquisite
gown of pale cream chiffon over satin,
trimmed with old rose point lace. Mrs.
Wood was in black chiffon. heavily en-
