Humboldt. on her ticket for the office
OF national treasurer. Iowa Daughters
OF the American Revolution have a
peculiar interest in the candidacy Of
Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey, Of
Kansas, for the office Of president
general at the biennial congress Of the
patriotic society in Washington next
month. Iowa Daughters are believed
to be unanimous in their support of
Mrs. Guernsey, and at the election two
years ago the vote Of the state deleSa-
ton. headed by Mrs. Johnston. was
cas-; for the Kansas candidate IN OPP
position TO the reelection of the
present incumbent, Mrs. William Cum
ming Story, OF New York.
The convention brings to Washing
ton some of the best known women of
the country. and Iowa always is rep
resented by full delegation. This
year however. is the first effort made
by the Hawkeye D. A. r. TO seek any
national office. and the candidacy OF
Mrs. Johnston for this reason is eX-
pected to attract additional strength.
Mrs. Guernsey is TO be opposed by
numerous candidates. but she laid the
foundation of her campaign at the 1915
meeting CT the society and IS believed
not to have lost any strength by
reason OF the two years Of inactivity
intervening. The fact that the presi-
dent general of the society for some
years past has been given to an east
ern woman argues that the west will
demand recognition this year. and with
the election OF Mrs. Guernsey, the
Iowa member on her ticket, Mrs.
Johnston, also will be successful. Mrs.
Guernsey's platform calls for numer-
Gus reforms, among which Is a one
term of three years and no reelection
plank; no mileage for officers or COM
mittee members and the formation Of
a committee of appeals for the ad-
tustment of differences in state chap
ters.
