ministration" forces withdrew their
support from the candidacy Of Mrs.
Adam Denmead. Of Baltimore. at q
meeting in the hall early yesterday

behind MRS. Magma.
Mrs. Walter "A. Robinson, Of Ala
bamas and Mrs. Florence S. B.
Menges. Of New York, were recog.
mixed as favored by the administra.
tion forces, but failed Of election.
The race Of Miss jean Winslow
Coltrane, Of North Carolina, was
brilliant but unsuccessful, and was
the one dramatic feature Of the
elections. Miss Coltrane's name
was mentioned for vice president
general in the opening days Of
the congress. She personally is
widely popular, but found herself
powerfully opposed. Her campaign.
ing brought her within five votes Of
being chosen.
Mrs. Denmead, who introduced
the resolution urging the President
to sign the immigration bill, with
emphatic reference to the Japanese
exclusion clause, was the victim of
a sudden turn of the tide. Some
OF the largest State blocs In the
4 congress cast their votes for Mrs.
Magma, after the action Of the
midnight conference had become
known.
An election for honorary vice
president general was held, but in.
sufficient votes to elect were cast,
and another election will be held
today. Candidates are Mrs. Henry
w. Waite, Of Michigan; Mrs. Althea
Randolph Bedle, of New Jersey, and
Mrs. John Campbell, Of Colorado,
Chances are said to favor the cleo.
ton Of Mrs. Bedle. Mrs. Rhett
Goode, unopposed, was chosen as
chaplain general.

Davis held the stage. at the session
last night. He departed from the
te1e OF his address on immigration
TO say q few biting words on the
subject Of prohibition and its lax
observance by ''our best people. /"
He took this opportunity Also to
EXPRESS himself warmly regarding
the Hanlhara letter, referring to
thOse foreign representatives who
tried to tell the Senate what to do
about immigration"
The respect Of aliens for the
sanctity Of the law in the United
States must naturally decline. Sec
rotary Davis said, when these Wis.

ing cocktails and wines when the
law OF the land forbids them even
. drink OF beer
