Washington, April II. The political
not Of the Daughters Of the American

dav when Mrs. George T. Guernsey, OF
Kansas. made her first move against
Mrs william Cumming Story, Of Ne"
York. whom she will oppose for re-
election as president general at the an
nual congress, on April 10. Mrs. Guern-
sev succeeded in persuading three OF

their lots with the ants. They are
Mrs. Mary c. Bassett, historian gen
eral; Mrs. Catherine f. Brumbaugh,
registrar general, and Mrs. Frances !.

The move took the Story forces by
eurprise, and they at once set 70 work

manager. said to-day, had selected the
three names 10 fill the vacancies on
her ticket, but was not ready 70 an

denied the rumor that Mrs. Story had
ever at any time announced herself a

taking the records Of her Office away
from her, and second. by being re-

Plank No. 1, which innocently enough
leads "No mileage for officers or ON

There has been noticeable lack of
 the usual proportion of weekly doings
 in the tennis club this week, and al
 though the weather has been fair, | it is apparent the recent enthusiasm
 of some players has been dampened
 somewhat for some cause or other.
 IT. is said that some of the moving lights in the club fit past each other
 without as much as a beam of recog-
 hilton and all are wondering what has
 happened. Several who appear to have inside dope, suggest the possi- bility that number of the members have become stale" from over-prac- tice at the game, while others claim that the match lost by the Morenci players to the Clifton club with score of 1 to 4 on last Sunday, has disgusted the whole bunch. From report of last Sundays play, the latter reason appears to be a logical one and the admirers of Morenci's players are given some food for con- lecture. With all due respect to Prouty and Finnigan, who won their lonely set, it is said that Morencis playing was very poor and seemingly careless when a set was practically won. However, it is hoped that the local teams be given another shake up in the draw for partners and that at some time in the near future, they will show Clifton a days play of fast
