That a bitter fight will probably de-
velop on the floor of the National
Education association convention when
the committee Oh nominations makes
its report tomorrow morning was indl-
Gated yesterday by the activity of
delegates from Chicago and eastern
cities For the past two days friends
of Miss Grace Sheperd Of Boise, Ida,
have been quietly urging her to enter
the race for the presidency. The
candidacy of DR.. Joseph Swain, presi-
dent of Swarthmore university, was be-
ing doomed yesterday, but the chief in
terest of the day conferred in the re-
marks of Miss Margaret Haley of Chi
cago,
Miss Haley heads an energetic and
aggressive body of Chicago teachers
who have but one desire in the political
portion of the n. Il. A. That desire
is to encompass the defeat of DR.. x. q.
Snyder, president OF the Colorado
Teachers college at Greeley, Colo,
should he enter the race for the presi"
dency.
Delegation Bitter.
The Chicago delegation Is embittered
against DR.. Snyder for the position
which it is alleged he took in the elec-
tion Of 1910, In which he was defeated
Young, the only woman president which
the n. Fl. A. has ever had. Dr.. Snyder
was given the Endorsement of the
nominating committee at the conven-
tion over Mrs. Young by majority of
one vote. Mrs. Young was then placed
in nomination in the open convention
and won out.
Owing to the fact that Miss Haley
is one of the prime movers in the Ma
tional League of Teachers association,
an organization which now has ap.
proximately 10000 members, con-
siderable weight is being given her
opinion in the matter of the n r. A.
presidency.
The National League of Teachers
association is an organization of grade
school and high school teachers only,
incorporating the first TO the twelfth
grades, Principals, supervisors and
other school officers and members Of
boards Of education are not eligible to
membership.
Candidacy Unannounced.
President Snyder is to be prominent
speaker Mt the joint session Of the
normal school and elementary depart
meuts, which is to be held in the
tabernacle, commencing at 8 O'Clock
this morning, He has personally made
no announcement that he will be a
candidate for the presidency, nor has
any one else autboritatively done so
for him. President Snyder IS subject
at the meeting this morning is to be,

Education.
Z. A. presidential possibilities, Miss
Haley said:
The women OF the n. L, A. will not
put up q candidate for president this
year. We are going TO wait until we
feel that we have woman strong
enough 10 command the vote OF the
entire country, including both men
and women representatives in the
n. f. A.
May Not Unite.
do not know that the women will
unite on any one candidate, but do
know that they will oppose Mr.. Sny-
der, for they have not forgotten his
unscrupulous efforts TO defeat Mrs,
Ella F'lagg Young In Boston In 1910.
IT is an insult TO the women of the
association TO ask them to support
