Rivalry for President.
Much interest is centerinB this
wear among West Virginia club
women az to whom will DO selected
for president OF the West Virginia
state Federation of Women's clubs,
afithe annual meeting to be held in
EHnntington the latter part OF Octo-
her. The logical woman for the
honor Is Mrs. John B. Garden, OF
wheeling, who is first vice presi-
def1t of the Federation and who
through long years Of service mas
proved her fitness to become the
head OF the big organization. Should
Mrs. Garden not be selected, Which
is hardly probable, she would not
again be eligible for the honor ana
for this reason Il for none other
club women generally believe she
should be honored With the office.
Mrs Garden is q gifted writer, q
trained secretary and has had wide
exnerieuce IN club work. She viii
receiye the undivided support OF
tiie clubs Of Wheeling, her home
CITY. and it IS believed that practi-
eaIIy all the clubs OF the Northern
mart Of the state will rally to her
stinport while enough votes VIII pc
reee{yed from southern state CLUBS
Ia doubtedly elect her to the po-
gjfion. Mrs. L. H. Cammnck, ner
opponent, will naturally receive the
support OF the clubs in her nome
town and probably several in that
end Of the state. Mrs. Cammack Is
q iresidsnt Of Huntington and is nor
self splendid woman for her place.
There is really no objection to Mrs.
lCammack as president other than
ltbht she Is not the logical person
for the place at this time. Should
Mis-. Cammack be elected q p-ece-
dsnt will have been broken in that
the hostess city has never hereto
fore asked for the highest office IN
the club. Club women. point out the
tact TOO that in the event OF Mrs.
Carhmack's defeat she will again
be- eligible for election IN any
event the rivalry is keen and dele
gates who attend the Federation
meeting will at least experience a
qpod deal Of excitement which otten
attends these elections in similar
b5diesl but which has heretofore
bean rather lacking in this orGanl'
zatIon.
