FRIENDS OF MRS. SCOTT
RALLY TO HER BANNER
Resent Alleged Attacks Made Upon
Prominent Leader in the
D. A. r.

To the Editor: Publicity having
been given to circular announcing
the candidacy of Mrs. Story for re-
ters of the American Revolution, 1
give equal publicity TO the following:
There was no Scott ticket two
years ago. The anti-Story tickets at
that time were headed by the names
of Mrs. John Miller Horton and Mrs.
Charles Il. Bryan. The many friends
of Mrs Scott resent the persistent at
lacks made upon her by the present
administration and the constant more
or less malignant manner in which
her name is introduced upon every
possible occasion. They also. resent
the endeavor of the present admins
tration, through this circular, to in
duce The belief that great many
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, formerly following other
aims and ideals, are now giving the
present administration their EN-
phatic Endorsement"
A slight analysis of the situation
will show how little foundation there
is for the belief that the signature
of one officer carries with ii the sup
port of her entire State. This is alb
solutely an error. as is evidenced by
the fact that while this circular Is
signed by the vice president general
of Indiana, Mrs. Dinwiddie, the orcs-
ent state regent, Mrs. Robertson. and
the past president general, Mrs. Fow-
Ter. perhaps the two most influential
members of the society in Indiana.
are strong supporters and advocates
of the cause of Mrs. George T. Guern-
sey.
a little further investigation would
show that this same condition holds
true in many of the other States
mentioned as having deserted the
standards of the past for the present
administration.
Mrs. Guernsey is not being run as
Scott candidate" She is the can
didate of the State Of Kansas. which
has unanimously Endorsed her, and is
supported by a very large majority Of
those most prominent in the affairs
of the organization from 1905 to 1918.
during which time Memorial Corti-
mental Hall was financed. the greater
portion built, completed. equipped and
furnished Because 100000 of the
debt have been paid by the past ad-
ministration, its supporters dispute
the claim made by the present adj
ministration. of unprecedented re-
duction Of the debt on Memorial Con-
tinental Hail.

Chairman for the District Of Columbia

Hearing a Month

Farmers, land owners and tenants OF
the neichhorhood south and southeast

in the proposal TO open two mile
east and west road attended the hear
ing on this road project IN the super
visors' office Wednesday. No action
was taken by the supervisors, VINO con-
,inued the question over until the
March meeting.
4 road two miles long between sec
tons u and ID, Logan township, ana
sections and IS Jefferson township
was petitioned Tor. Opinions OF the
tarmers of the neishhorhood are very
much divided regarding the road. Be
cause Of this division of opinion ana
also because of a question OF eN-
pediency involved the SUPERVISORS de-
cided not to take any action now.
Those who petitioned wanted a ROAD
two miles Ions The appraisers APP
praised a two. mile road, but recon-
mended opening only the east mile.
The supervisors would prefer to open
only this east mile. because the cost
of opening both miles and grading ana
maintaining the west mile would he
very heavy But the question has been
raised whether under all the proceed
ings had the supervisors can now only
open one mile without opening the
other.
