CLUBWOMEN EXPECT
THREE BUSY SESSIONS
Biennial Session of Federation
Opens Today at San
Francisco, Cal.

SAN FRANCISCO, July before the
gaveI fell today in the biennial session
of the Federation of Clubwomen of the
United States, busy time was in pros
pect.
Proposed revision Of the bylaws, nomi
nation Of candidates. the election Of OFF,
GERS and. possibly, the question Of equal
suffrage will be the main events. The
first of these will come before tie con-
vention when the report OF the council is
made Tuesday morning; the second Wed
nesdey morning and the third In the aft
ernoon OF the same day.
There is a divergence Of opinion regard
ing the advisability Of bringing the Ques-
ton Of suffrage to the fore, many of the
delegates inclining to the belief that q dis
cussion might be precipitated that would
rive the prevailing harmony.
The contest for the presidency, in sue
cession to Mrs. Philip H. Moore of st.
Louis, goes on The friends of Mrs.
Philip Carpenter of New York and of
Tex, VINO. are the only candidates who
have SO far appeared in the field, are
busy pleading their cause.
Outcome Is Problematical.
The friends and supports of Mrs.
Pennybacker are working hard for her
success, while the supporters Of Mrs.
Carpenter arranged an informal recep-
ton that was held at her hotel last
night and attended by many delegates,
| who were !.:portuned to give their votes
to the New York candidate. What the
| outcome Of the election will be is i'm
possible to forecast. Unlike the Balti-
| more convention, there is no talk Of a
dark horse.
The Massachusetts delegation is press
| ing the candidacy of Miss Georgia A.
Bacon Of Worcester. Mass. for first or
second vice president. Miss Bacon is a
prominent club woman In the Bay state
| and for three years was president Of the
| state federation.
Iowa will advance the claims Of Mrs,
B. B. Clark Of Red Oak, Iowa, for treas
urer, but 1t is doubtful II any candidate
can succeed Mrs. John Threadgill OF
Oklahoma, the incumbent.
An exhibit of maps and photographs
was one of the features marked for the
sessions Of the department Of cOnserva-
| ton today. There were addresses on
| forestry on the work Of the woman
| river and harbor congress. on the con-
servation Of soil, good roads and better
ment of farm conditions. The meeting
was in charge Of Mrs. Emmons Croker
of Fitchburg. Mass. and Miss Myra
