That the West desires to have the

eral OF the national organization OF

olution. has becomes apparent with
the announcement that Mrs. George
Thacher Guernsey. Of Independence.
Kans. will enter the race against
Mrs. William Cummins Story, the
president general Of that organizes
tion.
The West gives as les best asset Ia
naming the head of the organization
the fact that never in the twenty
three years of the organization has
thesWest been honored by having one
Of It's daughters elected to that posi-
ton. 5
Mrs, Guernsey is noted club
woman throughout the West, and has
been state regent of Kansas, and Is

club work of that state as well as the
