MRS. STORY PLEASED
WITH THE STRENGTH
OF HER CANDIDACY
Candidate for President of
D. A. R. Is Supported by
Mrs. G. w. Fairbanks.

Mrs. William Cumming Story, honor
airy State regent from New York and
candidate for the ID. A. r. presidency.
will leave Washington tomorrow for
Baltimore, where she will be the guest
Of Mrs. William Gerry Slade, president
of the Daughters of 1872, which is now
meeting in its centennial convention
there.
Mrs. Story appears greatly pleased
with the strength her candidacy has
gained through the present congress,
and Mrs. c. w. Fairbanks, wife OF the
former Vice President, has declared
president general in 1913
am very much pleased and abso-
lutely satisfied with the progress my
candidacy made during the congress"
said Mrs. Story. "Of course the fact
that Mrs Wood was not elected vice
president general from New York IS
disappointing to me, and so is the loss
OF our other vice presidents general,
but cannot look upon II as a defeat.
New York's candidate has been the tar
get Of the last two administrations. A
party that shows such strength as to
come within two votes Of electing its
candidate when opposed by those in
power is necessarily a very strong one.
Il was very much pleased that we
won in the matter Of postponing action
on the revision of the constitution until
the chapters can consider them. And
vision itself, without strife. The spirit
Of good will prevailed. and the atmo-
sphere Of harmony was greater than II
has been for some time"
