MRS. HORTON Is HOPEFUL.
Believes Congress Will Authorize
Publication of Old War Records.

Mrs. John Miller Horton of Buffalo,
candidate for president general of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
who has been at the New Willard for
several days directing an effort in behalf
of the bill recently introduced by Repre-
sentative Mott of New York appropriate
ing 5000 for the publication Of revolu-
tionary war records, says she is much
pleased at the progress made The bill
has been referred to the committee on ap-
preparations, and Mrs. Horton, who
represents the D. A. R., is hopeful that
favorable action will he secured. AL
ready a number of members of Congress
have expressed interest in the bill and it
is expected the number will be increased
from time to time.
The bill incorporates an idea heretofore
Endorsed by the congress of the d. A. r.,
and it is expected that many of the re-
gents of the various chapters which have
not chosen a candidate for president gen.
eral will be drawn to Mrs. Horton
standard, by reason of the success she
has attained in the effort.
Mrs. William Cummings Story Of New
York, who was defeated by Mrs. Mat
thew T. Scott at the last d. A. r. cleo
ton, is again a candidate. Mrs. Bryan
of Tennessee and Mrs. Patten of Penn
sylvania are also in the race. Mrs. Scott,
1t is understood, is neutral. and although
she and Mrs: Horton are close friends 1t
is not regarded as probable that she will
take any part in the contest which will
close with the election in April, 1913.
Mrs. Scott, according to the laws of the
D. A. r., cannot succeed herself as pres
ident general.
